How it works

Three steps to visibility.

Step 01→

Enter a domain.

We auto-detect your brand, your category, and the competitive set we'll measure against. Nothing for you to configure.

Step 02→

Five engines, in parallel.

AEOiQ queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews simultaneously. Real model calls, not estimates.

Step 03→

Read the report.

A single visibility index, the per-engine breakdown, the citation sources you win and lose, and the queries where competitors take your spot.

Citation footprint

Map the sources answer engines trust about your brand.

Answer engines don't make claims from nothing. Each citation is a vote. AEOiQ tracks which sources each engine pulls when your brand comes up — and which it pulls when your competitors come up instead.

  • Sources we own outright38

Content gaps

The queries where you should appear — and don't.

Traditional SEO is written for humans. AEO is read by machines. AEOiQ surfaces the high-intent queries where AI engines recommend your competitors and skip you, then tells you exactly what content has to exist for the engines to change their minds.

“Answer engines reward citable claims, not vibes. The brands they recommend are the brands whose data they can quote.”
