Answer Engine Optimization

Answer Engine Optimization is a free AI visibility checker that shows whether AI assistants mention your brand and which sources they cite.

Answer Engine Optimization helps businesses understand how their websites and brands appear inside AI-generated answers. By entering a domain, marketers, founders, business owners, and SEO professionals can receive a free visibility report showing how frequently their brand is mentioned across major AI platforms. The report covers brand mentions, share of voice, visibility trends, relevant topics, competitor positioning, cited domains, and the specific sources that influence AI-generated responses. The platform monitors leading answer engines and AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. This cross-platform coverage helps users identify where their brand is visible, where competitors may be gaining attention, and which websites or content sources AI systems rely on when answering relevant questions. Unlike estimates based only on traditional search rankings, Answer Engine Optimization uses a live index of real AI answers recorded over time. This allows businesses to examine changes in visibility, discover the topics associated with their brand, and better understand the relationship between online content and AI citations. Reports are available without creating an account, starting a subscription, or entering credit-card information. The tool is designed to make AI visibility analysis accessible to organizations of any size. Whether a company is developing an Answer Engine Optimization strategy, measuring brand authority, improving content, or researching competitors, the report provides practical data for improving visibility within the rapidly growing AI search ecosystem.
