AEO & AI search audit: Where AI cites your brand.
AI answer engines are reshaping how buyers find software and services. Our 50-prompt diagnostic reveals how ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend your company — and provides the code and content roadmap to capture the citation.
N° 01The generative search shift
Beyond blue links. How LLMs synthesize your brand
Over 25% of B2B and consumer research queries now resolve directly inside AI answer engines: ChatGPT Search, Perplexity Pro, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. These engines don't rank ten blue links; they synthesize a single unified answer and cite two or three authoritative sources.
If an AI search engine doesn't understand your entity graph, your technical documentation, or your third-party consensus, you simply do not exist in the buyer's evaluation set. We test, audit, and diagnose exactly how AI engines perceive, cite, or ignore your company.
N° 02The diagnostic methodology
50-prompt testing across three major LLM engines.
01
Multi-Model Prompt Battery
We run a battery of 50 carefully constructed prompts matching your buyer's commercial journey across ChatGPT Search (GPT-4o), Perplexity Pro, and Google AI Overviews.
02
Citation & Mention Share
We map which competitors are being cited when buyers ask for recommendations, comparisons, alternatives, and technical evaluations in your vertical.
03
Hallucination & Factual Drift
We identify inaccuracies where language models misquote your pricing, misrepresent your feature set, or attribute legacy defects that were fixed years ago.
04
Entity Authority & Schema Health
We audit your site's JSON-LD knowledge graph, Wikidata entities, and semantic HTML to ensure AI web crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot) can extract unambiguous factual claims.
N° 03The AI crawler layer
Feeding the robots what they need to understand.
Large language models do not read websites like traditional search crawlers. They favor structured tables, clear markdown hierarchies, definitive numerical claims, and authoritative Schema.org markup over marketing adjectives.
Our audit delivers a precise engineering checklist for your developers: robots.txt AI permissions, semantic heading restructuring, FAQ schema graph linkage, and digital PR citations required to become the consensus recommendation in your niche.
N° 04Deliverable & debrief
Actionable roadmap, not academic theory.
You receive a comprehensive 15-to-20 page executive diagnostic report with prompt screenshots, citation share graphs, and code-level remediation tasks prioritized by commercial impact.
Every audit concludes with a 45-minute live screen-share walkthrough with our lead search architect to answer questions with your engineering and marketing leads.
Investment
Productized diagnostic. Fixed flat fee.
Every audit is delivered for a flat fee with a clear, time-bound deliverable. No ongoing retainers required unless you want continuous quarterly monitoring.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
- AEO is the practice of optimizing digital assets and web architecture so that generative AI answer engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude) cite, recommend, and reference your business when users ask commercial queries.
- How does AEO differ from traditional SEO?
- Traditional SEO focuses on keyword density, backlinks, and ranking blue links on a search results page. AEO focuses on entity recognition, factual consensus, semantic knowledge graphs, and structured tables that language models can easily parse and synthesize into direct answers.
- How long does the audit take to deliver?
- Five to seven business days from receiving your target keywords, competitors, and domain URL.
- Can you implement the technical fixes on our website?
- Yes. Our AEO + Technical SEO Sprint includes written code snippets, JSON-LD Schema payloads, and direct pull request support for Next.js, WordPress, or custom platforms.
- Which AI engines do you test?
- We test across OpenAI ChatGPT Search (GPT-4o), Perplexity Pro (using Sonnet and Sonar models), Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot.
