AEO is the next layer of your SEO stack.
Your clients are asking whether they show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. SEO tools don't answer that question. AIVZ does — without forcing you to abandon the workflow you already trust.
AEO is the next layer on your SEO stack: AIVZ measures whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your clients, without replacing the SEO tools and workflow you already use.
Your clients are asking new questions. SEO tools weren't built to answer them.
When a client asks "do we show up in AI Overviews?" or "does ChatGPT recommend us?" — what's your answer?
If you're like most SEO professionals, you have three options today — and none of them are good.
The structural gap: SEO tools are built to optimize for crawler-and-rank. They aren't built to measure or improve how language models cite, summarize, and recommend. Different surface, different mechanics, different optimization layer.
1 · Hand-check it yourself
Open ChatGPT, run a few prompts, screenshot the result. Manual, time-expensive, not repeatable, not defensible.
2 · Add a free AI tracker
Get a partial signal, no system of record, no execution path.
3 · Tell the client "we don't measure that yet"
And watch a competitor say they do.
What you need is a vendor-grade system that gives you a credible AI Visibility Score, an audit framework, and an execution path — all without making you abandon the SEO toolkit you already operate. That's what AIVZ does.
Three capabilities your current stack doesn't give you.
A vendor-grade AI Visibility Score
A 0–100 score across the three layers AI engines actually use: Access, Understanding, and Extractability. Not a vibe check. Not a black box. Each sub-score traces to specific factors in the 93-factor taxonomy. You can show this to a client. You can track it month over month. You can defend it.
Learn about the AI Visibility ScoreA 93-factor audit taxonomy
The structural inventory of what makes a page citable by AI engines. Nine categories. Four confidence labels per factor. Five implementation phases. This is the audit framework SEO professionals have been improvising for two years. Now it's documented, versioned, and operable.

AIVZ doesn't just recommend fixes — it executes them on supported platforms. WordPress is live today: schema generation, FAQ blocks, summary blocks, llms.txt, canonical guidance. Shopify, Wix, Webflow, BigCommerce, and headless CMS in beta. You stop being the bottleneck between "diagnose" and "deploy."
See supported platformsIn our scans, SEO ranking accounts for only 8–28% of AI citations. AEO measures the rest.
You already have tools you trust. Search Console for query data. A Yoast or RankMath build on the WordPress side. Ahrefs or Semrush for backlinks and competitive intel. A crawler for technical audits. AIVZ doesn't try to replace any of them.
ChatGPT especially draws from different sources. Most SEO professionals who run AIVZ continue running their SEO stack in parallel — different signal set, different layer of the same job.
The AEO layer sits on top. You operate both.
What we read from
- Google Search Console (query and impression data — Live)
- Google Analytics 4 (session and conversion context — Live)
- Whatever schema, meta, and content your existing CMS plugins emit — AIVZ checks them, fills the gaps, and never overwrites what you've configured
What we add on top
- An AEO-specific audit your traditional SEO tools don't run
- AI engine citation monitoring (Perplexity, AI Overviews, others where measurable)
- Schema, summary blocks, and llms.txt generation tuned for answer engines
- A defensible visibility metric to share with clients
What we never do
- Override your Yoast or RankMath title tags, meta descriptions, or canonicals
- Strip schema your existing plugins emit
- Force a workflow change on the rest of your team
The audit framework SEO professionals have been improvising. Now documented.
For two years, every SEO consultant has been hand-rolling some version of "AEO best practices" — a mix of schema patterns, structural rewrites, citation strategies, and informed guesses about what language models prefer. AIVZ's 93-factor taxonomy is the first attempt to make that framework operable.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Crawlability & Access | Can AI crawlers reach the page? |
| Structured Data | Is the page machine-readable in the formats LLMs prefer? |
| Content Structure | Is the answer extractable in a clean span? |
| Entity & Knowledge Graph | Is the brand a recognized entity in upstream graphs? |
| E-E-A-T & Trust | Are author, publisher, and source signals legible? |
| Off-Site Authority | Is there citation surface area beyond the owned site? |
| Semantic Matching | Does the content match query intent at the semantic level? |
| Platform-Specific | Are platform-native AEO mechanics covered? |
| Observability | Is there citation monitoring to close the loop? |
Each factor is labeled with a confidence tier — so you know which recommendations rest on hard evidence and which are informed bets.
If you run a practice, your brand stays on the front of it.
Independent SEO consultants and SEO-led agencies don't introduce a new vendor logo to clients lightly. AIVZ ships a full white-label option on the Agency tier.

Practitioner questions, plainly answered.
Does AIVZ replace my existing SEO tool?
No. AIVZ is companion-not-replacement. It adds the AEO layer on top of the SEO toolkit you already operate. Search Console, Yoast/RankMath, Ahrefs, Semrush — keep them. AIVZ doesn't overwrite or compete with them. It covers what they were never built to cover.
Is AEO actually measurable, or is this just hype?
Some of it is measurable directly (Perplexity citations, Google AI Overview presence on tracked queries). Some of it is inferred from upstream signals (schema validity, entity presence, structural extractability). The 93-factor taxonomy labels every factor with a confidence tier so you know which recommendations rest on hard data and which are informed bets. Nothing is presented as more certain than it is.
How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?
It's a weighted composite across the three layers AI engines use: Access (40%), Understanding (35%), and Extractability (25%). Each layer aggregates a sub-score from the 93-factor taxonomy. Specific factor weights are confidential, but the layer model and the factor list are fully published and audit-defensible.
What happens during a scan?
We crawl the domain you specify, run the 93-factor audit (or the Citation Core 11 on free tier), measure citation presence on tracked AI surfaces where measurable, and return a score with prioritized fix recommendations. A free scan completes in under 30 seconds. Pro and Agency scans run deeper and faster on schedule.
