Use when AI-search visibility needs measuring: which engines mention the brand, for which buyer questions, citing which sources. Produces a visibility baseline, a trend line, and a ranked list of the sources worth influencing. Exact commands live in
.
Report per topic: visibility vs competitors, trend, top cited sources, and one concrete content action per gap.
A great AEO readout names the prompts that matter commercially, ranks the brand against named competitors per engine, and ends with a short cited-source hit-list — "these 5 URLs drive the category answers; here's where the brand can plausibly earn a mention." Mediocre tracking reports one aggregate score with no explain and no source mining. What gets overlooked: country and engine splits (visibility in one engine says nothing about another) and prompt drift — refresh seeded prompts as the buyer language evolves.
MUST seed prompts in buyer language, not brand language. NEVER report a score without its explain and its cited sources — an unexplained number invites wrong conclusions.
