Complete AEOTrack Setup Guide

Welcome to AEOTrack!

This guide explains how AEOTrack works, what AEO and GEO mean, and how to set up your account to start tracking your brand's visibility across AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok.

What is AEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website so that AI search engines can understand, summarize, and cite your content in their answers.

Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking pages in Google search results, AEO focuses on helping AI assistants answer users' questions using your content.

AEO helps you:

  • Increase AI visibility.
  • Improve citation opportunities.
  • Structure content for large language models.
  • Optimize FAQs and schema markup.
  • Track mentions across AI platforms.

What is GEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on how AI models generate complete responses and whether your brand appears in broader AI-generated explanations.

GEO helps answer questions like:

  • Does AI mention your brand?
  • Is your content used in AI-generated summaries?
  • How often do competitors appear instead of you?
  • Which topics drive AI visibility?

Onboarding Scan

Step 2: Competitor Analysis (Who you're up against)

  • AEOTrack automatically suggests competitors based on your website and industry.
  • You can keep suggested competitors, remove competitors using the trash icon, or add custom competitors manually.
  • For each competitor, provide the competitor name and website URL.

Onboarding Competitors

Step 3: Website Analysis (Real issues we found)

  • AEOTrack performs an actual scan of your website and identifies problems that impact AI visibility.
  • Homepage Content checks: Content quality, headings, metadata, structure, and readability.
  • Site-Wide Scan checks: Internal links, schema, technical SEO, crawlability, and AI readiness.
  • The recommendations are based on real findings, not generic advice.

Onboarding Analysis

Step 4: Questions to Track (What people ask AI)

  • These are real questions users ask platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok.
  • You can select suggested questions, remove irrelevant questions, or add your own prompts.
  • These questions become your active tracking prompts.

Onboarding Questions

Step 5: AEO Check (Your starting score)

AEOTrack now runs its complete analysis pipeline, including AEO analysis, GEO analysis, brand visibility, competitor comparisons, AI citations, and content evaluation.

What's happening behind the scenes?

Each question is sent to five real AI engines: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok. For every response, AEOTrack tracks:

  • Whether your brand was mentioned (represented by a green check badge ✅).
  • Whether competitors were mentioned (represented by a grey check badge ⚪).
  • Citations and sources used.
  • Share of voice and answer quality.

You can tap any AI engine to view the full response.

Your Results

After the scan completes, you will receive:

  • Scores: AEO Score, GEO Score, and Content Score.
  • Insights:
    • What's working: Highlights strong content areas, good structure, existing citations, and AI-friendly sections.
    • Problems and solutions: Identifies missing schema, weak content, competitor advantages, internal linking issues, and FAQ gaps.
