Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) measures how well a company is represented in AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on search engine rankings, AEO focuses on how AI systems understand and recommend your brand.
The AEO Score (0-100) is calculated from two main components:
Measures technical readiness for AI crawlers. We analyze your website for structured data (Schema.org), meta descriptions, content clarity, robots.txt configuration, and other factors that help AI systems understand your business.
Measures actual presence in AI responses. We query multiple AI platforms with industry-relevant questions and analyze how often and how accurately your company is mentioned.
Additional platforms (Perplexity, Claude, Mistral) may be added in future updates.
We continuously monitor AI platforms and update scores regularly. Each startup page shows the last health check and mentions check timestamps. Scores may fluctuate as AI models are updated and retrained.
