Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AEO audit?

An AEO audit is a comprehensive assessment of how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity discover, understand, and cite your business. It checks your technical infrastructure (structured data, robots.txt, llms.txt), content structure (semantic triples, answer-first formatting), and AI crawler access to identify optimization opportunities.

How do I know if AI assistants can find my business?

You can test by asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity questions about your industry, product, or brand. If they don't cite your website in their answers, you likely have visibility gaps. An AEO audit systematically checks citation rates, crawler access, and content extractability to pinpoint exactly what needs improvement.

What is the difference between an SEO audit and an AEO audit?

An SEO audit focuses on search engine rankings, organic traffic, and traditional search visibility. An AEO audit focuses on AI citation visibility: whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can find and recommend your business. Both are complementary: strong SEO foundations support AEO, and AEO optimizations often improve search performance.

How quickly can AEO audit improvements show results?

Technical fixes like structured data implementation and AI crawler configuration typically show impact within 4–8 weeks. Content-based improvements and building topical authority usually take 3–6 months to influence AI citation patterns. We provide a prioritized action plan so you can tackle quick wins first.
