AEO tracker: a daily record of who the AI engines name.

An AEO tracker asks the AI engines the questions your buyers ask, on a schedule, and keeps every answer: whether your business was named, whether your site was linked, and who was named instead. Ours asks every day on paid plans. The form above is the free first reading: 10 questions on 3 engines, one time.

A reading and a record are different things

A check tells you where you stood on the day you ran it. That is worth having, and it is where everyone should start. It is also one sample from a system that does not hold still. Ask an assistant the same question twice and the wording changes; ask it a month apart and the sources behind the answer may have changed too.

A tracker turns the sample into a record. It asks the same questions again tomorrow and the day after, stores what came back, and lets you see three things a single reading cannot: how steady your place in an answer is, when it changed, and what else changed on the same day.

What a tracker records for every answer

The unit of tracking is one answer: one question, asked of one engine, on one day. For each of those, our tracker stores:

• The answer, word for word. Not a summary of it. If a number on your dashboard looks wrong, you can open the text it was counted from.
• Whether you were named, and how. Named as a main recommendation, named in passing, or not named. An answer found to be about a different business with a similar name is labeled as confusion and is not counted as a mention.
• Whether your site was linked. The links in the answer that point to your own domain.
• Who else was named. The other businesses in the answer, each one checked against the text.
• Where in the answer you appear. First in a list and last in a list are both a mention, and they are not worth the same.
• Every source the answer cited.Your pages and everyone else's, so you can see which sites the engines lean on for your questions.
• The tone, on the higher plans. On Solo Pro and Agency, each answer that names you is also classified as positive, neutral, negative, or hostile.

One rule makes the record comparable. The question list is written once for your business and then kept, so each day is measured on the same questions as the day before. If you change what the business does or where it is, the list is rebuilt and a new baseline starts; the old numbers are not stretched across the change.

What ours tracks on each plan

Every paid plan tracks daily. The plans differ in how many questions are asked and on how many engines.

Solo: $149 a month

100 questions a day on 3 engines you pick from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. That is 300 answers a day for one business.

Solo Pro: $299 a month

200 questions a day on 4 engines you pick from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews: 800 answers a day for one business, with the tone of each mention classified.

Agency: from $249 a month

For each client, 25 questions a day on all 5 engines, which is 125 answers a day per client. It is sold for 3, 10, 25 clients at $249, $549, $1,199 a month.

Annual billing lowers each of those; the pricing page has the full list of what each plan includes besides tracking.

How each engine is read

• ChatGPT: scanned through the live consumer interface, daily.
• Gemini: scanned through the live consumer interface, daily.
• Perplexity: answers captured daily through its API.
• Google AI Overviews: read from live Google results.
• Claude: model mode: how the model understands your brand long-term (labeled, never counted as a live capture).

Those five are the whole list. An engine that is not on it is not tracked, and we would rather say so than imply coverage.

How the first week runs

1. Day one. You describe the business and pick your engines. The question list is written, and the first scan runs while you watch. A scan started by hand asks up to 50 of your questions so that it finishes in minutes.
2. Every morning after. The daily scan asks the full list on your engines. Nothing needs to be clicked.
3. From the second scan on. The answers from the latest scan sit beside the ones from the scan before it, question by question and engine by engine: newly named, still named, dropped, still absent. With only one scan on record the product shows the answers and says a comparison is not yet possible. It does not invent an earlier one.

What a tracker cannot tell you

This part is our own reasoning, and it applies to any tracker, ours included.

• How many people asked. The engines publish no question volumes. A tracker knows what was answered, not how often it was asked.
• What a particular person saw.Assistants adjust answers to the conversation, the account, and the place. A tracker asks without your buyer's history, so its record is a benchmark and not a copy of every buyer's screen.
• Why the engine chose who it chose.The record shows the sources an answer cited. It does not show the engine's reasoning, and nobody outside the engine has that.
• Whether a mention became a customer. Being named and being visited are separate measurements. Visits from AI assistants are counted on your own site, which is a different tool; see how to track AI traffic in GA4.
• Questions that are not on the list. A tracker measures the questions it asks. If the list misses how your buyers really phrase things, the record is accurate and beside the point. Read the list before you trust the trend.

And tracking by itself changes nothing. A record that shows you missing on forty questions is a to-do list, not a result. What to do with it is covered in how to get mentioned by AI.

The free first reading, and what it is not

The form at the top of this page runs our free audit. To be exact about it: it asks 10 buyer questions on 3 fixed engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity), one time, and shows you all 30 answers in about three minutes. It needs a website and an email. There is no account to create and no card to enter.

It is a reading, not tracking. It does not repeat tomorrow, it does not cover Claude or Google AI Overviews, and it asks 10 questions where the smallest paid plan asks 100. Its job is to show you whether there is anything worth tracking before you spend anything.

Daily tracking starts with the trial: 7 days on the Solo plan, with no card asked for. Agencies who sign up from the agency page trial the Agency workspace instead. A week of daily scans is enough to see how much your answers move from one day to the next, which is the thing a single reading cannot show.
