# AEOlens

> Track your brand visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Perplexity. Run a free AEO & GEO audit — 48 checks, prioritised fix list, 5 AI models.

## About

AEOlens is the AI Search Visibility platform for AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). It helps founders, developers, and agencies track and improve how AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok — discover, trust, cite, and recommend their content.

Unlike traditional SEO tools that report rankings on Google, AEOlens measures whether AI models actually cite a brand when real buyers ask buying-intent questions, and explains the structural reasons why they do or don't.

## Who it's for

- **Solo founders** who want to know why ChatGPT and Perplexity aren't recommending their product when buyers ask.
- **SaaS marketing and content teams** who need to outrank competitors inside AI-generated answers, not just on Google.
- **SEO, GEO, and growth agencies** managing AI search visibility across multiple client domains, with white-label reporting.
- **Developers and AEO/GEO consultants** integrating citation, crawler, and competitor data via API into their own workflows.

## Core features

### AEO & GEO Structural Audit
Runs 48 structural checks on any URL and returns a 0–100 citation-readiness score with a ranked, prioritised fix list. Checks cover FAQ and HowTo schema, prose answerability, heading hierarchy, semantic HTML, AI-crawler access (robots.txt, llms.txt, meta directives), freshness signals, entity coverage, and internal linking. Each failed check ships with exact implementation guidance so engineering teams can ship the fix without further research. **Use it to:** diagnose why a page is not being cited, prioritise the highest-impact fixes, and re-audit after deploys.

### AI Buyer Simulation
Runs real buyer-intent queries simultaneously through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok. Reports citation rate, average position, sentiment per model, and which competitors AI recommends when your brand is not cited. **Use it to:** see exactly which prompts make AI recommend you vs. a competitor, and which models you're weakest on so you can target fixes.

### AI Agent Analytics
Server-side monitoring of AI crawlers visiting your site in real time. Tracks GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-Web, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, xAI Grok, Bytespider, Meta-ExternalAgent, and others. Verifies authenticity by ASN and reverse-DNS to filter spoofed user agents. Shows crawled pages, frequency trends, and which content AI models are training on or surfacing in real-time answers. **Use it to:** confirm AI bots can reach your high-value pages, spot crawl gaps, and prove crawler activity to stakeholders.

### Competitor Intelligence
Tracks up to 15 competitor domains with full AEO audits, side-by-side gap analysis, and weekly automatic rescans. Surfaces the structural reasons competitors are getting cited more often — missing schema, weaker prose answerability, blocked crawlers, or stale content. **Use it to:** build a defensible AEO roadmap based on what's actually working for the brands AI already trusts in your category.

### Brand Monitoring
Daily monitoring of brand mentions across X (Twitter), Reddit, Hacker News, ProductHunt, and GitHub. Surfaces sentiment signals from sources that AI models weight heavily when forming opinions about brands. **Use it to:** catch reputation shifts early and influence the conversations AI summarises about your category.

### Free Tools
Two standalone generators usable without an account: a robots.txt builder pre-configured for every major AI crawler, and an llms.txt generator that produces a spec-compliant file from your sitemap and brand info.

## What makes AEOlens different

- **Five AI models in every plan**, not just ChatGPT — most competitors charge extra per additional model.
- **Free tier is genuinely useful** — a full structural audit and top fixes with no credit card.
- **Structural fixes, not vague advice** — every check ships with the exact HTML/schema change to implement.
- **Server-side crawler analytics** — log-based bot verification, no JS pixel required, no traffic missed.
- **Built for AEO/GEO from day one** — not a bolt-on to a legacy SEO suite.

## Frequently asked questions

**Which AI models does AEOlens track?**
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok — all five are included in every paid plan, with no per-model upcharge.

**How is AEOlens different from traditional SEO tools?**
Traditional SEO tools measure Google rankings. AEOlens measures whether AI answer engines actually cite a brand when buyers ask buying-intent questions, and pinpoints the structural reasons why they do or don't.

**Does AEOlens require a tracking pixel or JavaScript on my site?**
No. AI Agent Analytics is server-side and log-based, so it captures crawler visits that a JS pixel would miss, with ASN and reverse-DNS verification to filter spoofed user agents.

**What does the AEO score actually measure?**
The score is a 0–100 normalised value derived from 48 structural checks across schema, prose answerability, semantic HTML, AI-crawler access, freshness, and entity coverage. A score above 80 indicates strong citation readiness across all five major AI models.

**Can agencies use AEOlens for multiple clients?**
Yes. The Agency plan supports multi-client workspaces, white-label reports, and 40 buyer simulations per month. Enterprise adds unlimited domains and API access.

**Is there an API?**
Yes. API access is included on the Enterprise plan for programmatic audits, crawler analytics, and competitor data.

**Does AEOlens publish original research?**
Yes — see the [research index](https://aeolens.ai/blog) for guides on how each major AI model chooses sources, AEO vs GEO frameworks, and citation tracking methodology.
