What the product does and how it is positioned
Answer Engine Optimization helps businesses understand how their websites appear inside AI-generated answers. Enter a domain to receive a free report covering brand mentions, share of voice, trends, topics and cited sources across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Reports require no account or credit card and are generated from a live index of real AI answers recorded over time.
Answer Engine Optimization is a visibility tracking tool designed to help businesses understand their presence within AI-generated responses. Unlike traditional search engine optimization which focuses on ranked links, this platform measures how often a brand is named in synthesized text and which sources are used to build those answers.
The tool generates reports based on a live index of real AI answers recorded over time. It provides a breakdown of performance across various platforms, including ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, allowing users to see where they are mentioned and which external content is driving those mentions.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Measure how frequently a brand appears in AI answers compared to competitors across different platforms.
Identify the specific third-party sources and URLs that AI models cite to determine where to focus PR and publishing efforts.
The documented workflow, where available
The user enters a website domain into the search field to initiate the visibility check.
The system queries its index of recorded AI answers from eight different engines to find relevant mentions and citations.
A comprehensive report is generated within approximately 60 seconds, detailing mentions, trends, and source data.
Traditional search engine optimization focuses on ranked links, positions, and clicks driven by pages and backlinks. Answer Engine Optimization shifts the focus to mentions within a synthesized response and the share of voice a brand holds within those answers.
While SEO tracks where a link appears in a list, AEO measures whether a brand is part of the written narrative provided by an AI assistant. This includes identifying 'blind spots' where a brand might be cited as a source but does not receive a direct click from the user.

What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
AI visibility refers to how often AI assistants name a brand when answering user questions and which sources they rely on to generate those responses.
The tool checks visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, among others.
The visibility check is free and does not require the creation of an account or the submission of credit card details.
Data is pulled from a live index of real AI answers that have been logged over time to ensure comparable monthly trends.
If a brand has no mentions, the results will stay empty in the report instead of being padded with unrelated data.
