The problem

Search is turning into a conversation.

AI assistants don't show ten blue links. They name a handful of businesses and move on. If you're not one of them, you're invisible, and most businesses have no idea which one they are.

1

You can't see it

There's no "AI Search Console". You don't know which questions you appear for, or what AI says about you.

2

Competitors get named

AI tends to repeat the businesses that are best described on the sites it trusts: directories, reviews, press, Reddit.

3

Small fixes, big difference

Blocked crawlers, JavaScript-only pages and missing business details quietly stop AI from recommending you.

Track

See your share of the AI conversation.

We ask every major AI engine the questions your customers ask, every day, and record who gets mentioned, in what order and with which sources.

  • Questions generated from your services and locations, editable by you
  • Mentions, ranking position and sentiment for you and your competitors
  • Trends over time, so you can see what's working

FAQ

Questions about AI search.

What is answer engine optimisation (AEO)?

AEO is the work of making your business easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to find, understand, trust and recommend. It overlaps with SEO but focuses on being mentioned and cited inside AI answers. You'll also hear it called GEO (generative engine optimisation).

Is AEO different from SEO?

They share foundations: crawlable pages, clear content, structured data and a good reputation. AEO adds tracking what AI assistants actually say about you, which sources they cite, and filling the gaps that make them recommend competitors instead.

What does the free check test?

Whether AI crawlers can access your site, whether your content is readable without JavaScript, and whether you have the structured data and files that help AI tools understand your business. It doesn't yet measure how often you're mentioned. That's what the full platform does.

Should I block AI crawlers?

It's your choice, but know which ones you're blocking. Training crawlers (like GPTBot or ClaudeBot) collect data for training models, and blocking them doesn't remove you from AI search. Search crawlers (like OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and PerplexityBot) decide whether you can appear in answers, so blocking those makes you invisible.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend us?

No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. AI answers change constantly. What we do is measure your visibility honestly, show you what drives it, and track whether your changes make a difference.

Is my data safe?

We're a UK-focused service with data hosted in the EU. We only track public AI answers about the questions you choose, and connections like Search Console are read-only.
