Every result comes directly from the AI engine itself, not an estimate or a simulation. An engine appears here only once we genuinely measure it.

Citations measured live on 4 of these today. Gemini is not measured yet and is marked as such above, though we do already report which Gemini crawlers reach your pages. The engine list on every page reads one source of truth, so nothing here overstates it.

If AI is not recommending you, it is recommending someone else.

Improve Your AI Visibility And Get Results.Results may be much higher in some cases

Every AI recommendation creates a winner and a loser. Most businesses never know which one they were.

  1. Someone is being recommended right now

    Every day people ask AI who to hire, buy from, or trust. Every answer names somebody. In your category, that somebody is either you or a competitor.

  2. You cannot see the ones you lost

    Analytics only show you who arrived. They never show the customers an assistant sent somewhere else. No impression, no click, no referrer.

  3. Most AI visibility is estimated

    Almost every tool in this space models a number and calls it a score. They estimate visibility. We measure it.

You cannot fix what you cannot see. So we measure it first.

3How it works

We ask AI the same questions your customers ask

Every answer is measured, saved, and compared over time. No estimates, no simulations, no vanity metrics an agency deck would love: just stored answers you can reopen.

Step 1: Enter your website

That is the whole setup. No tracking script, no DNS changes, no install.

Step 2: We ask AI real questions

The same questions your customers ask, put to each engine, several times over.

Step 3: See who gets recommended

Who the engines named, how often, and the exact answer each citation came from.

Step 4: Get your action plan

Ranked by what will move the needle most, with the evidence behind every item.

Step 5: Measure again, and see what changed

We compare the same questions over time, and we tell you when nothing moved.

4Measured vs manufactured

Measured, not manufactured

Anyone can generate a score. The question is whether they can prove it.

5Why we measure

AI search changed what a ranking is worth

Your ranking tells you where you sit in a list of links. It tells you nothing about the answer your buyer actually reads.

  • Can AI read your content?
  • Which AI engines cite you?
  • Why did AI recommend you, or not?
  • Did your changes actually improve AI visibility?

SEOAIO measures those things.

Questions your rankings cannot answer
  • Can an AI crawler reach your pages?Measured
  • Does Perplexity cite you?Measured
  • Do Google AI Overviews cite you?Measured
  • Does ChatGPT cite you?Measured
  • Does Claude cite you?Measured
  • Does Gemini cite you?Not measured yet

We only claim what we can measure.

6What we refuse to blend

Read is not the same as cited

Being readable does not mean you will be recommended. Most tools treat those as one number. We measure them separately, because they answer different questions, and the gap between them is the most useful thing on your dashboard.

Blocked is the finding

An engine that cannot read your pages cannot cite them, whatever your content is worth. That is usually one line in a robots.txt file, and it is invisible on any dashboard that reports a single blended score.

Unknown stays unknown

If we cannot measure it yet, we will not pretend we can. That is exactly why you can trust everything else on this page.

8How you will know it worked

Measure. Improve. Verify.

We never ask you to trust that a fix worked. Every recommendation ships with a verification test, and we run it.

  1. Run your audit

    Under a minute. No sign-up.

  2. Find what actually matters

    Findings ranked by measured impact, each carrying the evidence that produced it.

  3. Fix your pages

    You make the change on your own site. We never touch it and we never publish for you.

  4. Run it again

    Same questions, compared against your last run.

  5. See exactly what changed

    The finding either disappears or it does not. That is the verification test, and it is the same test whether the news is good or bad.

We do not promise results we cannot prove. We have not measured that outcome for anyone, so we do not sell it. The promise is that you will know either way, which is the part nobody else will put in writing.

Your next customer may never open Google. They will ask an AI who to trust. We show you whether it names you, who it names instead, and whether your fix changed the answer.

Already built, already included

Bonus features for paid customers. More value.

We’ve been hard at work to jam more features into what we already offer to give you the best value that you can find.

Plug it into what you already use

  • Connect your AI assistant

    Included

    Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can read your measurements and propose changes that wait for your approval. OAuth 2.1, nothing to install.

  • Use your data anywhere you work

    Included

    The partner API sends measured visibility data to your own dashboards, internal tools and client portals. Every value arrives with its provenance attached.

  • Stay informed without logging in

    Included

    Standing reports and change alerts delivered to a Slack channel or an inbox. Slack needs nothing but a pasted webhook URL.

Most tools in this category reserve APIs, integrations, exports and white-label features for enterprise tiers. One rival prices API access alone at $1,666 a month. We include these because they make the platform more useful, not because they should be separate products.

Not yet: SOC 2 Type II, and SAML single sign-on. If your procurement process needs either, we are not the right fit today and would rather say so now. See what each plan includes.

Questions people actually ask

Straight answers. Full transparency.

Is the free audit really free? Do I need an account?
Yes, and no. The audit runs without a sign-up, without a credit card, and without a tracking script. We crawl your public pages once with our self-identifying bot and show you what we measured. Nothing is written to your site and nothing is changed.
How do you know whether an AI engine actually cites me?
We ask the engines real questions and record which sources they return. A citation is only counted when the engine itself returns your site as a source. We never infer a citation, and we never count a brand name appearing in text as a citation, because the question we asked often contains the brand name in the first place.
How is this different from a traditional SEO tool?
A traditional SEO tool tells you where you rank in a list of links. That is still useful, and we measure it. What it cannot tell you is whether an AI assistant named you when someone asked it what to buy, because that answer produces no ranking, no impression and no click. We measure both, and we keep them separate rather than blending them into one number.
What is AI visibility, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO is about ranking in a list of blue links. AI visibility is about whether an answer engine like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity reads your site, trusts it, and cites it in its answer. The two overlap but are not the same: a page can rank well on Google and still never be quoted by an AI. We measure both, and we tell you which signal moves which.
Why can't AI find or recommend my site?
Often the culprit is your robots.txt. Sites frequently block the AI crawlers by name (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) without realizing it, and a blocked crawler cannot read your pages, so that engine cannot cite them. It can still cite you from pages other people wrote, which is why the two are worth measuring separately. Our free audit checks each of those crawlers against your robots.txt and shows you exactly which are allowed and which are blocked. It is the first thing worth ruling out.
What does 'measured, not manufactured' actually mean?
Every number we show can be opened. Click it and you see the observations behind it, the evidence we recorded, the confidence, and the source. When we have not measured something, we say so instead of filling the gap with an estimate. Most tools quietly estimate and present the result as fact.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. Alongside the findings we give you ready-made prompts built from your own results. Copy one, paste it into whatever AI you already use, and it will tell you exactly what to change and where. If you would rather not do that, our AI can write the developer-ready plan for you on a paid plan.
Which engines and search systems do you cover?
Two different measurements, and we keep them separate. Citations are measured live on Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Crawler access, which is whether an engine can reach your pages at all, is measured for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended. So we can tell you today whether ChatGPT can read you; we do not yet claim to know whether it cites you, and we label every cell accordingly rather than implying full coverage.
What is the difference between an AI crawler reading my site and citing it?
Reading is access: the engine's crawler is permitted to fetch your pages, which you control in robots.txt. Citing is the outcome: the engine returns your page as a source in an answer it gives a real person. Reading is necessary and nowhere near sufficient. A site can be fully readable by every AI crawler and never be cited once, and a blocked crawler guarantees zero citations no matter how good the page is. We measure both separately and never blend them into one score.
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of getting your content quoted inside AI-generated answers, rather than ranked in a list of links. In practice it means being reachable by AI crawlers, being structured so a passage can be lifted cleanly, and being the kind of source an engine treats as authoritative. We measure the inputs to it and specify the work. We do not perform the publishing, and we do not promise a citation, because nobody can honestly sell that.
What is AI referral traffic, and can you measure it?
AI referral traffic is visitors who arrive on your site by clicking a link inside an AI assistant's answer. It is measurable with SEOAIO Tracking, an optional first-party script that records which engine referred each visit, which page they landed on, and whether they converted. One limitation we state plainly: a click from a Google AI Overview arrives with the same google.com referrer as an ordinary organic click, so it cannot be separated from organic search, and we do not guess at it.
Will you change anything on my website?
Never. We only read your public pages. We do not need DNS access, we do not post links anywhere on your behalf, and we do not generate fake citations or backlinks. Everything we recommend is a change you choose to make on your own site. There is one optional script, SEOAIO Tracking, which measures which AI engines send you real visitors. It is opt-in, you install it yourself, it sets no cookies and stores no personal data, and everything else works without it.
Why is my overall score sometimes held back?
Because we refuse to average our way to a number. Your Visibility Score is made of seven pillars, and we hold the overall figure until enough of them are genuinely measured. A three-of-seven average is not an overall score. It unlocks as evidence arrives, not when marketing would like it to.
