Platform Access Overview

平台接入概述

Each AI platform requires different access approaches.
PlatformRecommended ApproachAPI AvailableMonthly CostCitation Support
PerplexitySonar APIYes (citations native)$15-30Native
GeminiFree API tierYes (1,500/day free)$0Extract from response
ClaudeClaude APIYes$75-150Extract from response
ChatGPT / OpenAIOfficial API (use web search tools if available) OR commercial vendorYes (varies)$60-500+Varies (official tools or vendor)
Google AI OverviewsCommercial tools onlyNo (typically)N/ACommercial tools only
Key insight: Perplexity Sonar API is the most AEO-friendly - it returns citations natively in the response.
See: references/platform-access-methods.md
每个AI平台需要不同的接入方式。
平台推荐方案是否提供API月成本引用支持
PerplexitySonar API是（原生支持引用）$15-30原生支持
Gemini免费API层级是（每日1500次免费）$0从响应中提取
ClaudeClaude API是$75-150从响应中提取
ChatGPT / OpenAI官方API（如有可用的网页搜索工具则使用）或商用供应商是（因服务而异）$60-500+因服务而异（官方工具或供应商提供）
Google AI Overviews仅商用工具否（通常）无仅商用工具支持
核心洞察：Perplexity Sonar API是最适合AEO的方案——它会在响应中原生返回引用内容。

Architecture Tiers

架构层级

Tier 1: API-First (Recommended)

层级1：优先使用API（推荐）

Use official APIs where available. Lowest risk, most maintainable.
Query Bank -> API Orchestrator -> Response Store -> Analysis Layer
   (250-500     (rate limiting,    (PostgreSQL/    (citation extraction,
    queries)     retry logic)       BigQuery)       brand detection)
Platforms covered: Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, OpenAI (baseline; use official web-search tooling if available) Cost: $15-300/mo depending on volume Risk: Low
在可用的情况下使用官方API，风险最低，可维护性最强。
Query Bank -> API Orchestrator -> Response Store -> Analysis Layer
   (250-500     (rate limiting,    (PostgreSQL/    (citation extraction,
    queries)     retry logic)       BigQuery)       brand detection)
覆盖平台：Perplexity、Gemini、Claude、OpenAI（基础版；如有可用的官方网页搜索工具则使用） 成本：$15-300/月（取决于查询量） 风险：低

Tier 2: Hybrid (API + Commercial Scraping)

层级2：混合方案（API + 商用爬虫）

Add commercial scraping services for platforms without good APIs.
Additional coverage: ChatGPT web interface, Google AI Overviews Cost: $500-1,500/mo (adds commercial scraper fees) Risk: Medium (dependent on scraper provider)
为没有优质API的平台添加商用爬虫服务。
额外覆盖：ChatGPT网页界面、Google AI Overviews 成本：$500-1500/月（增加商用爬虫费用） 风险：中等（依赖爬虫供应商）

Tier 3: Full Custom Scraping (Not Recommended)

层级3：全自定义爬虫（不推荐）

DIY web scraping of AI platforms.
Why to avoid:
  • High ToS violation risk
  • Aggressive bot detection (especially Google, ChatGPT)
  • Maintenance burden (UI changes break scrapers)
  • Potential legal liability
See: assets/technical/architecture-diagrams.md
自行开发AI平台的网页爬虫。
不推荐的原因：
  • 违反服务条款的风险高
  • 反机器人检测严格（尤其是Google、ChatGPT）
  • 维护负担重（UI变更会导致爬虫失效）
  • 潜在法律责任
查看：assets/technical/architecture-diagrams.md

需关注的法律动态：
  • 出版商诉讼与数据来源纠纷（示例：Reddit v. Perplexity AI (2024)）
  • 平台服务条款执行与违约赔偿政策（示例：X服务条款变更）
  • 爬虫拦截与WAF规则的广泛应用（GPTBot、ClaudeBot等）

Key Metrics

核心指标

Primary metric: Share of Model (SoM)
SoM = (Your brand mentions / Total responses) * 100
Track SoM:
  • Per platform (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude)
  • Per query intent (informational, commercial, transactional)
  • Over time (weekly/monthly trends)
  • vs. competitors
Secondary metrics:
  • Citation rate (% of responses with your URL)
  • Position in citations (1st, 2nd, 3rd mention)
  • Sentiment of brand mentions
  • Query coverage (% of target queries where you appear)
主要指标：模型份额（Share of Model, SoM）
SoM = (你的品牌提及次数 / 总响应数) * 100
跟踪SoM：
  • 按平台（ChatGPT、Perplexity、Gemini、Claude）
  • 按查询意图（信息类、商业类、交易类）
  • 随时间变化（周/月趋势）
  • 与竞品对比
次要指标：
  • 引用率（包含你的URL的响应占比）
  • 在引用中的位置（第1、2、3次提及）
  • 品牌提及的情感倾向
  • 查询覆盖率（目标查询中你的品牌出现的占比）
