What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization) and how does it differ from SEO?
AEO optimizes your website for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Claude, ensuring your brand is cited accurately in AI-generated answers. Unlike SEO, which focuses on traditional search engine rankings, AEO emphasizes clear content structure, factual accuracy, and machine-readable formats like llms.txt and FAQ schema for AI models.
What is included in Skillaeo's free plan?
The free plan includes 3 full AEO audits per month for 1 domain, covering 4+ AI engines with 10 industry-specific questions. You receive a complete visibility report with a score breakdown, competitor analysis, and priority fixes. A Skills Pack preview is also available.
What are llms.txt and agent.json files?
llms.txt is a standardized file that informs AI models about your site's capabilities and how it should be described, similar to robots.txt. agent.json provides structured metadata for AI assistants to interact with your services. Together, they form a 'Skills Pack' for AEO optimization.
How does Skillaeo measure AI visibility?
Skillaeo queries multiple AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) with industry-relevant questions about your domain. It analyzes their responses for direct citations, brand mentions, and information accuracy, comparing your results to competitors to provide a comprehensive AEO visibility score from 0-100.
What is the difference between Full Reports and Quick Rechecks?
Full Reports provide a comprehensive AEO audit across multiple AI engines with detailed analysis, competitor insights, and a Skills Pack. Quick Rechecks allow for faster, more frequent checks to monitor immediate changes or specific optimizations without consuming a full audit credit.
