The AI visibility index
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity what to choose. The answer names a few companies and leaves out the rest. We measure which companies AI can see, which ones it reads, and which ones it names.
License it as a dataset, or as a live feed.
81M+
companies tracked worldwide
66M+
carry an AI visibility score
64
columns on every record
37x
how much more likely a brand ChatGPT recommends is to score 6 or higher
Why this matters now
A company is in the answer or it is not. We score every company before the question is asked, then check the score against what the engines go on to say.
74%
74% of the brands ChatGPT recommended score 6 or higher. Across every scored company, 2% do.
3%
An AI answer has room for a handful of names. Only about 3 in 100 companies score high enough to be one of them.
0-10
An engine recommends the companies it can find, read and trust. The score measures exactly that, one company at a time.
“The goal of SEO is shifting: it's less about getting millions of casual web clicks and more about ensuring the LLM mentions your brand name when it outputs its final answer.”
What you can license

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring your site so AI engines can find, understand, and cite your brand. A free AEO score from Engagemii checks twelve signals - six on-page, six off-page - and gives you an instant 0-10 rating - the same scale the engines weight when deciding whom to cite.
You get a free AEO score in under a minute. No account, no card, no install. Want to go deeper? The Customized Fix Kit ships AI-written JSON-LD, llms.txt, and robots.txt fixes plus the full audit PDF, free, emailed after a one-click verification. And free AI bot monitoring shows you which engines visit your site. Everything for your own brand is free, every time.

When Google launched AI Overviews, direct traffic to many websites dropped 30–40% almost overnight. Perplexity doesn't show ten blue links - it shows one answer with a citation. ChatGPT doesn't send traffic at all. It is the destination.

SEO is the practice of ranking in Google search result links. AEO is the practice of being cited as the answer inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. They share fundamentals - structured data, content quality, entity clarity - but the signals AI engines weight are different from the ones Google's 10-blue-links algorithm weights.
| Dimension | SEO | AEO |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in the 10 blue links | Be cited inside the AI answer |
| Target surface | Google, Bing search results | ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini |
| Primary signal | Backlinks + on-page keywords | Structured data + entity clarity + AI crawler access |
| Key file | robots.txt + sitemap.xml | llms.txt + ai.txt + JSON-LD schema |
| Crawler | Googlebot, Bingbot | GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended |
| Content format | Long-form pages, keyword density | Question-answer pairs, FAQ schema, clear definitions |
| Authority signal | Domain rating, link velocity | E-E-A-T markers, named author/founder, sameAs links |
| Citation surface | Click-through to your site | Direct mention in the AI's generated answer |
| Time to results | Months for new content to rank | Days to weeks once schema deploys |
| Measurement | Position, impressions, CTR (Search Console) | Citation rate per query, AEO score across on-page + off-page signals |
Bottom line: SEO and AEO are complementary, not competing. SEO gets you to the search results. AEO gets you cited inside the AI answer. Brands that win in 2026 do both - the same site infrastructure (schema, llms.txt, robots.txt) compounds across every AI engine and every search engine.
Six on-page signals plus six off-page authority signals - everything that separates a cited brand from one that doesn't exist
On-page - what your site says
{ }
JSON-LD schema: Product, Organization, FAQPage, BlogPosting, Person, and more. This is the single biggest factor in AI citation.
H1
Heading hierarchy, FAQ presence, descriptive page titles - the signals AI engines use to understand what a page is about.
🏢
Is your brand name, address, phone, and mission clear and consistent? AI engines need to anchor your business to a real entity.
★
Founder credentials, awards, certifications, testimonials, and press - structured so AI engines can use them as authority signals.
🤖
AI crawler access, sitemap, meta descriptions, page speed signals - the infrastructure that lets AI engines reach your content.
llm
llms.txt presence, social graph links, brand entity anchoring - signals that help AI models recognize and cite your brand.
Off-page - what the web says about you
🔗
Who links to you and how much weight those links carry. AI engines lean on the same authority the web has already voted on.
🛡
How established and credible your domain looks from the outside - the baseline trust AI engines assign before reading a single page.
🌐
Whether the wider web recognizes your brand as a real, distinct entity - not just a website with a name on it.
📰
Third-party coverage of your brand. Independent reporting is evidence AI engines treat very differently from your own claims.
💬
Where your brand comes up in real discussions across the web. Organic mentions tell AI engines people actually talk about you.
✓
Outside validation AI engines can verify - reviews, ratings, and public signals that back up what your site says about itself.
01
We run an automated scan across twelve signals, six on-page and six off-page. Your overall score and verdict appear on screen instantly.
02
Enter your email and confirm it with one click. We analyze your site and build your personalized fix files plus a branded PDF report, then email you the download link. Free.
03
Hand the PDF to your developer, or let Engagemii AEO/GEO implement the fixes.
Every scored brand now carries three numbers, and each answers a different question.
0 to 10
How readable and citable your site is to AI answer engines when people ask what to buy. This is the score above, and the free fix kit is built from it.
0 to 100
Agent readiness. When an AI agent shops on someone's behalf, can it read your identity, products, prices, and availability well enough to act? Most sites fail this without knowing. Check your Muse Index
0 to 100
Whether your own site runs AI: native chat, AI search, AI tooling that engines and buyers can detect. A read on how far along you are, not just how visible.
AI crawlers do not run JavaScript, so your analytics has never recorded them. Connect Google Analytics in your free portal and AI bot visits stream in live, named by the bot and the page it read: GPTBot arrives as ai_crawler_gptbot, ClaudeBot as ai_crawler_claudebot. They show up in the reports you already use, with nothing to configure. Free, like the rest of it.
These are the most common findings across every site we've audited. Chances are your site has at least three of them.
No JSON-LD schema on any page
AI crawlers blocked in robots.txt or by Cloudflare
FAQ content exists but has no FAQPage schema
H1 is a tagline or brand name, not descriptive
No meta description on the homepage
About page returns 404 - no founder or brand story
Trust signals (awards, certs, customer count) not in schema
No llms.txt - AI models have no plain-language brand summary
No plans, no card, no subscription. One free tier with everything in it.

Answer Engine Optimization / Generative Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO) is the practice of structuring your website so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude can read, understand, and cite your business. Traditional SEO gets you into search results. AEO/GEO gets you into AI answers.
SEO is about ranking in a list of links. AEO/GEO is about being the answer. When someone asks ChatGPT 'what's the best supplement for endurance athletes?' - the brands that get cited are the ones with structured data, clear entity signals, and AI-accessible content. That's what we audit.
A branded PDF with your AEO score out of 10, broken down across twelve signals: six on-page and six off-page. Each issue is tagged Critical / High / Medium with a plain-language explanation of what's wrong and why it matters. Plus a complete fix list specific to your site.
Your score shows on screen in seconds. The full kit with the PDF report is built after you confirm your email with one click, and the download link is emailed to you, usually within a few minutes.
You can - and we'd encourage it. The audit is yours. What Engagemii AEO/GEO does is implement the fixes so you don't need to manage a developer at all.
After a one-click email verification, we analyze your site and generate ready-to-deploy files: JSON-LD structured data for your HTML head, FAQ schema, a meta description, an llms.txt file for your site root, a robots.txt patch to allow AI crawlers, Wikidata and Google Business guides, plus a branded PDF audit. All free, emailed to you.
Install the free Engagemii tracker on your site and your dashboard shows which AI engines visit you: every bot, every day. It's how you see AI discovering your content in real time. Free with your account.
