Question 1

What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

AEO stands for AI Engine Optimization. It's the practice of optimizing your brand's visibility in AI-powered search engines and assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Just like SEO helps you rank in Google, AEO helps your brand get mentioned and recommended by AI platforms.

Question 2

Why is AEO important for my business?

Accepted Answer

AI assistants are increasingly becoming the first point of contact for people seeking information. ChatGPT alone has over 200 million weekly users. When someone asks an AI for a product recommendation and your brand isn't mentioned, you're invisible to that potential customer. AEO ensures you're part of the conversation.

Question 3

Is AEO the same as SEO?

Accepted Answer

No, they're different but complementary. SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search engines like Google, aiming to get clicks to your website. AEO focuses on getting your brand mentioned in AI responses, where users often get their answer without clicking any link. The best strategy includes both.

Question 4

Which AI platforms should I focus on?

Accepted Answer

The major AI platforms to optimize for are ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overview. Each has different training data and patterns, so comprehensive AEO addresses all of them. Vetrics tracks all 6 platforms.

Question 5

What does Vetrics do?

Question 6

How does Vetrics track AI visibility?

Question 7

What are 'prompts' in Vetrics?

Accepted Answer

Question 14

How long until I see my first results?

Accepted Answer

You'll see your first visibility report within 24 hours of adding your brand. Vetrics provides daily updates, so you'll have fresh data every day. Improving your actual AI visibility takes longer—typically 30-90 days of consistent effort.

Question 15

Yes! You can add unlimited competitors to track alongside your brand. Vetrics shows side-by-side comparisons of mention rates, sentiment scores, and ranking positions, helping you understand your competitive position and identify opportunities.

Question 17

How can I improve my AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Key strategies include: 1) Create clear, factual content that AI can easily cite. 2) Get mentioned across reputable websites, forums, and review platforms. 3) Use structured data and schema markup on your website. 4) Maintain consistent brand messaging everywhere. 5) Keep your content fresh and updated. Vetrics provides specific insights based on your data.

Question 18

How long does it take to improve AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Typically 30-90 days to see meaningful improvements. AI models update their knowledge periodically, and your changes need time to be indexed and incorporated. Consistency is key—one-time efforts don't work. Vetrics tracks your progress over time so you can see what's working.

Question 19

Does my website SEO affect AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's overlap. Good SEO practices like quality content, structured data, and clear site architecture also help AI understand your brand. However, AEO also depends on off-site factors like mentions in forums, reviews, and publications that traditional SEO doesn't fully address.

Question 20

What content works best for AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

AI favors content that is: clear and factual (not vague marketing speak), well-structured with headers and lists, specific about what you do and for whom, and from authoritative sources. FAQ pages, comparison content, and how-to guides perform particularly well.
