Do I need technical skills to use AEO Compass?

No technical skills required. AEO Compass is designed for marketers and business owners with user-friendly interfaces, one-click implementations, and step-by-step guides. For advanced users, we also provide API access and custom integration options.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking websites in traditional search results on Google, Bing, etc. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on getting your brand, products, and content cited in AI-generated answers. AEO requires specialized structured data, answer-focused content, and optimization for natural language AI responses.

How does AEO Compass optimize content for ChatGPT citations?

AEO Compass optimizes for ChatGPT citations through structured data implementation, direct answer formatting, E-E-A-T signal enhancement, and llms.txt optimization. The platform analyzes your content, generates AI-friendly schema markup, and creates answer cards formatted specifically for how ChatGPT processes and cites sources. This includes conversational tone, clear attribution, and factual accuracy that AI models prioritize when selecting citations.

What is llms.txt and why is it important for AEO?

llms.txt is a structured text file designed specifically for Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand your website content. Similar to robots.txt for search engines, llms.txt provides AI engines with clear, organized information about your business, products, and services in a format optimized for AI consumption. AEO Compass automatically generates and optimizes your llms.txt file with proper formatting, comprehensive details, and AI-friendly language to maximize your visibility in AI-generated answers.

How does citation monitoring work in AEO Compass?

Citation monitoring tracks when and where your brand appears in AI-generated answers across platforms like Perplexity AI, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. AEO Compass continuously scans these AI platforms for mentions of your brand, products, or content. You receive alerts when new citations are detected, position tracking to see where you rank in AI responses, featured snippet identification, and competitive analysis showing how you compare to competitors. This helps you measure ROI and identify citation opportunities.

What is the difference between answer cards and regular content?

Answer cards are content specifically optimized for AI citation with direct answers (first sentence answers the question), conversational tone (natural language AI prefers), optimal length (75-150 words for direct answers), structured data (FAQ, HowTo, or QAPage schema), and E-E-A-T signals (expertise and trust markers). Regular content is written for human readers on websites, while answer cards are formatted specifically for AI engines to easily extract, understand, and cite in their responses.

How much does AEO Compass cost?

AEO Compass offers flexible pricing: Free Trial (1 project, 5 answer cards, basic score), Professional Plan ($99/month for 5 projects, 100 answer cards, full features), Business Plan ($299/month for unlimited projects and cards, white-label reporting), and Enterprise (custom pricing with dedicated support). All paid plans include automated schema generation, citation monitoring across all AI platforms, trend intelligence, API access, and priority support. No credit card required for the free trial.

What AI platforms does Perplexity citation tracking cover?

Perplexity citation tracking in AEO Compass monitors all Perplexity AI responses including web search results, focus mode answers, and pro search citations. The platform tracks your source position (1-10), featured status (whether you are a primary source), citation frequency (how often you are cited), and competitive landscape (who else is cited). Perplexity is particularly important for AEO because it always shows sources and is the fastest-growing AI search engine with millions of daily queries.

How do I improve my content clarity score?

Improve content clarity by implementing proper heading structure (H1, H2, H3 hierarchy), using direct answers (answer questions in the first 1-2 sentences), adding structured Q&A format (FAQ schema with clear questions and answers), maintaining conversational tone (write how people speak), breaking up long paragraphs (keep paragraphs under 3-4 lines), and using bullet points and lists (scannable format). AEO Compass provides specific recommendations based on your content analysis and shows real-time clarity score improvements.

What is schema markup and why does it matter for AEO?

Schema markup is structured data code (JSON-LD format) that helps AI engines understand your content context and relationships. For AEO, schema tells AI platforms exactly what your content is about, who created it, when it was published, and how to display it. Critical schema types include FAQPage (for Q&A content), HowTo (for tutorials), Article (for blog posts), Organization (for company info), and Product (for e-commerce). AEO Compass automatically generates valid schema markup optimized for AI consumption and validates it for errors.

Can I track competitors in AEO Compass?

Yes! Competitive analysis features let you monitor competitor citations, compare AEO scores, identify citation gaps (queries where they are cited but you are not), analyze their schema implementation, and track their trending topics. Add up to 10 competitor domains per project to see side-by-side comparisons, receive alerts when competitors gain new citations, and discover optimization opportunities. This helps you understand the competitive landscape and identify strategic advantages in AI search.

How can I optimize my website for AI search engines?

Use AEO Compass to implement structured data, optimize your llms.txt file, create AI-friendly answer cards, and monitor citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI platforms. Focus on direct answers, E-E-A-T signals, and proper schema markup.

AEO Compass is an AI optimization platform that helps websites get indexed, cited, and chosen by AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It provides automated AEO scans, readiness reports, and structured data tools.

What does the AEO Score mean?

The AEO Score measures how optimized your website is for AI search and visibility. It analyzes schema, AI accessibility, clarity, and speed to show how ready your site is to be found and cited by large language models.

How does AEO Compass help my business?

AEO Compass improves your visibility across AI search and chat platforms. It gives you actionable recommendations to enhance structured data, clarity, and content so AI models can understand and cite your business accurately.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO helps your website rank higher in search engines. AEO helps your brand appear directly in AI answers. While SEO targets Google, AEO targets ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar LLMs.

How do I improve my AEO Score?

Use the AEO Compass dashboard to fix missing schema, add structured Q&A content, optimize your sitemap, and improve clarity. Re-scan your site after updates to track progress.
