What you walk away with

Citation baseline. Current status across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for your 10 highest-intent target prompts. Real screenshots.

On-page AEO score per URL. Your top 10 pages scored against the signals that actually correlate with AI citations. Question H2s, FAQ schema, external link density, visible last-updated dates.

Prioritized fix list. Ranked by expected lift, not busywork. Each fix has an estimated impact tied to real correlation data.

Off-site authority plan. Which of Reddit, LinkedIn, or YouTube you should own next, and the content angle to test first.

30-day AEO sprint plan. Day-by-day. You can hand it to a writer and run it without me.

How it works

  1. Day 0. You send your URL, your top 3 competitors, and the 10 prompts you want to be cited for. If you don't know the prompts, I help you find them.
  2. Days 1-3, the deep dive. Citation tests across three engines, on-page audits of your top 10 pages, off-site presence review, competitor citation gap analysis.
  3. Days 4-5, the delivery. You get a written audit, a scored spreadsheet, and a 30-day sprint plan. Shared doc plus PDF.

No calls. No 60-minute discovery. Async around your timezone. If you want a walkthrough, book the optional scoping call.

Why AEO is not just SEO with a new name

Recent research on 10,000 URLs across 8 AI engines found the SEO playbook does not transfer. If your team is still running an SEO audit and calling it AEO, you are optimizing for signals that don't matter and missing the ones that do.

FAQ

What is an AEO audit?
A URL-by-URL review of your site's ability to get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI engines. You get citation status per target prompt, a prioritized fix list with expected lift, and a 30-day sprint plan.
How is this different from an SEO audit?
SEO audits look at backlinks, rankings, and crawlability. AEO audits look at question-style headings, FAQ schema, external link density, visible last-updated dates, and off-site presence on Reddit, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Recent data shows backlinks have near-zero correlation with AI citations. An SEO audit will miss the signals that matter most.
What do you actually deliver?
A written audit plus a scored spreadsheet plus a 30-day sprint plan. Shared doc plus PDF. Delivered async in 5 days.
Do you fix the pages, or do I?
The $297 audit is diagnosis plus prescription. You (or your team) implement the fixes. If you want done-for-you implementation, ask about the AEO Sprint retainer at the end of the audit.
How long until AEO starts working?
Perplexity picks up changes in 2 to 4 weeks. Gemini takes 1 to 3 months. ChatGPT base model takes longer but browse mode is faster. Plan for partial wins in month one and compounding gains after that.
Do you audit any industry?
SaaS is the focus. If you are a services business or e-commerce site, the framework still applies but the target prompts and platform priorities shift. Ask before buying.

Why this works

Most SaaS teams are still auditing for backlinks and rankings. The data says both are collapsing signals. The audit forces you to look at what AI engines actually reward: question-led structure, schema, freshness, off-site presence. Less thrash, more citations.
