A Complete Guide to Managing Websites in AEOTrack: Adding, Tracking & Aliases

Introduction

Managing your AI search engine presence often requires monitoring multiple web properties — from your main marketing domain and product subdomains to regional landing pages.

The AEOTrack Websites Management page (found under Settings → Websites in the sidebar) allows you to track, configure, pause, or remove tracked domains across your account, while setting up brand name aliases to ensure every spelling variation of your business is counted by AI engines.

This guide walks through every management control, brand alias setting, and step-by-step domain setup wizard, using a fictional example company: Acme Coffee Roasters (acmecoffee.example).

What Is the AEOTrack Websites Management Page?

The Websites page serves as your multi-domain management center inside AEOTrack. Depending on your subscription plan (e.g., the Agency plan allowing up to 10 tracked websites), you can monitor distinct brands or domain properties independently.

It helps you answer core questions:

  • How many website slots am I currently using out of my plan allowance?
  • How do I add a new website domain to AEOTrack?
  • How do I configure brand name aliases so AI engines recognize misspellings and alternate names?
  • How do I temporarily pause tracking or delete a website domain?

Managing Tracked Domains

At the top of the Websites page, AEOTrack displays your current plan usage and domain controls:

Plan Allowance & Usage

  • Usage Callout: Displays active website slots against your plan limit (e.g., 1 of 3 websites used on your Pro plan).
  • + Add a website button: Opens the 5-step automated domain setup wizard.

Website Card Controls

Each tracked website property displays a dedicated management card:

  • Domain Header: Domain icon, display name, and URL (e.g., Acme Coffee Roasters / acmecoffee.example).
  • Brand Name Aliases: A link that opens the website's brand names. It reads "Add brand name aliases so every spelling counts" on a card with none, and "Brand names: Acme Coffee Roasters + 1 alias" on a card with one alias set.
  • Tracking Badges & Actions:
    • Questions & topics badge: Confirms that both questions and topics are being tracked (Questions score and Topics score).
    • Selected Status: Indicates the currently active domain in your workspace.
    • Pause Control: Temporarily suspends automated AI checks for the domain without losing historical data.
    • Delete Control: Removes the website property and its associated tracking data.

The 5-Step "Add a Website" Onboarding Wizard

Clicking + Add a website launches an automated 5-step setup wizard that guides you through domain scanning, competitor discovery, question selection, and initial AI analysis.

Wizard Setup Steps

  1. Scan & Confirm: Enter your bare domain address (e.g., yourbrand.com — no need for https:// or www). If your company has no country yet and the domain does not give one, choose the country your buyers are in on the same form, before the scan. AEOTrack scans publicly available website content in ~20 seconds, then says who it thinks the business is: its name, whether it sells a service, a product or both, its category and where it is. Confirm it or correct it; the country can be corrected there too. See Confirm your business. On a new account, adding the first website starts the 7-day trial (When your 7-day trial starts). A website that already has an AEOTrack account in another workspace is not added twice: you see that account and can ask its owner for access (One account per website).
  2. Competitors: AEOTrack automatically identifies real competitors mentioned alongside your domain in AI engines (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok). It never suggests a place, a directory or listing site, or your own business; see Competitors that aren't competitors.
  3. Questions to Track: Review and select high-intent questions real prospective customers ask AI assistants about your product category.
  4. Topics to Track: Select broader thematic topics relevant to your site.
  5. AI Analysis: AEOTrack runs initial engine checks and generates your first comprehensive AI visibility report.

Configuring Brand Name Aliases

AI search engines don't always use your official corporate name. They frequently use shortened names, acronyms, or common misspellings (e.g., Acme Coffee Roasters, Acme Coffee, AcmeCoffee, Acme Roasters).

Aliases AEOTrack adds for you

When you add a website, AEOTrack reads the names your homepage gives the business (its title, its site name, and the name, alternate name and legal name in its structured data) and adds the ones that fit the domain as aliases. A business name you confirm is added too. Generic titles such as "Home" are never used. You can remove any of them; a name you remove is not added back.

How to Set Up Brand Aliases

  1. Navigate to Settings → Websites.
  2. On the website's card, click Add brand name aliases so every spelling counts, or Brand names: Acme Coffee Roasters + 2 aliases once it has some. The names from your homepage are usually there already.
  3. The editor shows the Brand name and, under Other names AI should count as you, each other name that counts as you. Names read off your homepage are marked from your homepage. Type one name in Add another name (a short name, an acronym, a common misspelling or a product nickname) and click Add, or press Enter; then the next. A website can have up to 10. Remove a name with the × beside it.
  4. Click Save. AEOTrack reads your stored answers again straight away, crediting your brand wherever an answer writes one of the names.

The brand names editor open on a website's card, with the top Is this you? suggestion above it.

Names AEOTrack suggests

After each check, AEOTrack reads your stored answers for names that are probably yours but do not count yet: a name the answers link to your site, a name on your homepage that does not fit the domain, or a near spelling of your name. The Dashboard and the Questions page ask Is this you?, and the top suggestion also sits above the editor here. Add as a brand name adds it in one click; Not us stops it being suggested again. See Brand names and "Is this you?".

An answer that writes your name but ties it only to another company's website (it cites, links or writes that company's address, and never yours) is not counted as naming you, so a namesake does not inflate your score.

When your questions may be out of date

Changing your aliases or brand name can change which business your questions should be about. If AEOTrack suggested any of your questions, it marks them as possibly out of date and can propose a new set. Before anything changes you see the new questions, how many suggested questions they replace and how many of your own stay. Only the suggested questions are replaced; questions you added after setup are never touched. On a website set up before late October 2026, a question typed during setup can count as suggested. See Confirm your business.

How to Add and Manage a Website: Step-by-Step

  1. Check Plan Capacity — ensure you have an available website slot under your plan allowance.
  2. Click "+ Add a website" — launch the 5-step setup wizard.
  3. Enter Your Domain — type your bare domain name (e.g., acmecoffee.example), choose Country your buyers are in if the form asks, and click Scan my website →.
  4. Confirm the Business — check the name, service or product, category and location AEOTrack read from the site, and the country.
  5. Confirm Competitors & Questions — select the suggested competitors and questions you want to track.
  6. Check Brand Aliases — return to Settings → Websites, check the names added from your homepage, and add any other way buyers write your name.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I pause a website?
Pausing a website temporarily stops scheduled AI checks of its questions and topics for that domain. All historical scores, citations, and trend data remain safely saved.

Do brand name aliases count toward my competitor limits?
No. Brand name aliases apply exclusively to your own domain to ensure alternate spellings of your brand are correctly credited to your account.

Can I switch between tracked websites in my workspace?
Yes. Use the domain dropdown menu in the top navigation header to toggle between your tracked website properties instantly.

Conclusion

AEOTrack's website management features give you complete control over your multi-domain AI visibility strategy. By configuring brand aliases and utilizing the automated domain setup wizard, you ensure every tracked property receives accurate, comprehensive AI monitoring.
