Training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) are reported separately. They are not scored, and your choice for them is kept.

AI answers are part of search now. They also change from one run to the next.

Ask ChatGPT for a med spa in Austin and you get a short answer with a few names, not a page of links. If your business isn’t in that answer, the person asking may never see you.

How AEO Pro works

Measure, connect, fix and verify, then report. Anything that changes what your business says waits for your approval.

01

Measure

You approve a locked set of questions that don’t name your business, like “best med spa in Austin.” Every week AEO Pro asks them on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with web search on, plus Google AI Overviews when available. Runs are repeated and shown with 95% intervals.

Mentions on locked questions12 questions × 5 runsExample
  • ChatGPT13%95% interval 7–24%
  • Perplexity22%95% interval 13–34%
  • Gemini8%95% interval 4–18%
  • Claude5%95% interval 2–14%
  • Google AI OverviewsNot measuredNot shown for these questions this week
2 failed runs were left out, not counted as zero. API answers are samples, not what every user sees.
02

Connect

No passwords. Point one CNAME record at our edge, then add our service account to Search Console and GA4. On WordPress, an optional plugin can also update meta descriptions on pages you allow.

Revoke any of these anytime from your own admin screens.
03

Fix and verify

The agent applies technical fixes, then loads the live URL to confirm each one. If a check fails, the change rolls back on its own.

Activityexample-medspa.comExample
  1. 09:02robots.txtLet the ChatGPT and Perplexity search crawlers in. Kept /portal/ private and left your GPTBot setting as is.Verified live
  2. 09:04Structured dataAdded opening hours to your business details, using the hours shown on /contact.Verified live
  3. 09:06Meta description/about, built from a sentence already on the page. The live check still showed the old version.Rolled back to v13
  4. 09:31Meta descriptionRe-applied and checked again.Verified live
  5. 09:40FAQ copy3 new answers drafted for the practitioner to review.Needs approval

No cloaking. Every change versioned.

People and crawlers get the same HTML. Turn the edge off and your original site is served byte for byte.

  • Each version is checked on the live URL
  • A failed live check rolls back automatically
  • Your private paths and training-bot choices stay as you set them

Day-60 results report

At day 60, we measure four numbers and show you each one.

Each number is compared with your baseline from your first 3 days and shown next to a reference point. The report shows what changed. It is not a promise of results: nobody controls what AI engines answer.

  1. AI-readiness score

    Your score out of 100 on the 11 weighted checks.

    Reference point: up 20 points, or 80/100

  2. AI crawler visits

    Daily average of AI crawler visits logged at our edge.

    Reference point: up 30%

  3. AI answer mention rate

    How often answers to your locked questions mention your business.

    Reference point: up 5 percentage points (from 0%: mentioned at least twice in at least one engine)

  4. Citations of your site

    Links to your own site in AI answers.

    Reference point: 1 more

Questions owners ask

Still deciding? Start with the free AI check. We’ll recommend a plan.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel online in one click, anytime. Every plan is free for 30 days, then $19 or $49 a month (depending on the plan, plus tax where it applies) until you cancel. We email you 7 days before the trial ends.

What is your refund policy?

30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. Request a refund within 30 days of your payment for a full refund. This applies to every payment. Use the link in your Paddle receipt email, look up your order at paddle.net, or email us.

What access does AEO Pro need? Do you need my passwords?

No passwords. You point one CNAME record at our edge. Then you add our service account to Google Search Console as a Restricted user and to GA4 as a Viewer. On WordPress you can also install our plugin, which only updates meta descriptions on pages you allow. You can revoke each one anytime from your own admin screens.

My site isn’t on WordPress. Will it work?

Yes. The CNAME connection works with custom-built sites and takes about 5 minutes. Every site uses the CNAME; the WordPress plugin is an optional extra for meta descriptions.

Is a person doing this work?

AEO Pro is software. The agent makes the changes, checks them and writes the reports. You approve anything that needs a human decision, like new FAQ answers or medical wording.

Is there an account manager I can call?

No. AEO Pro is self-serve on purpose, and that is how it stays this cheap: no sales calls, demos, onboarding sessions or account managers. Setup, approvals, reports and billing all happen in your dashboard and inbox, and the agent explains every change it makes. Questions go to our help address, where an AI assistant answers first. Billing questions are always handled by email, and refunds can be requested through Paddle or by email.

Is this cloaking?

No. People and crawlers get the same HTML. AEO Pro never shows AI crawlers a different page. If you turn the edge off, your original site is served byte for byte.

Do you guarantee rankings in ChatGPT or Google?

No. Nobody controls what AI engines answer, and answers change over time and vary by user. What we do offer is a 30-day money-back guarantee on every payment, no questions asked. Separately, at day 60 we send you a results report that measures four things against your baseline: your AI-readiness score, AI crawler visits logged at our edge, your mention rate on your locked questions and citations of your own site. It comes with the formula and the raw data.

We are a medical practice. What will the agent write about us?

On its own, the agent only makes technical fixes. New FAQ copy waits for your approval, and anything medical goes live only after the practitioner approves it. It never writes claims about how well a treatment works, prices or legal matters. Some AI engines also limit answers in medical categories.

Will it touch my booking or payment pages?

No. The agent never edits login, booking or payment code. It never hides pages from search in bulk and never moves URLs. Every change is checked on the live URL and rolled back automatically if the check fails.

What happens to my site if I cancel?

Changes made in your CMS stay. Edge features stop, and we hand over your changes as a patch you can apply yourself.

Which AI engines do you measure?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, through their APIs with web search on, plus Google AI Overviews when available. API answers are samples, not exactly what every user sees, so runs are repeated and reported with 95% intervals. Failed runs are left out, not counted as zero.

What happens with AI training bots like GPTBot?

Training bots such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Google-Extended are reported separately and don’t count toward your AI-readiness score. When the agent opens access for AI search crawlers, it keeps your existing choices about training bots.

I run an HVAC or plumbing company. Does this replace Google Maps or ads?

No. Keep your Google Business Profile and your ads. AEO Pro is an add-on that covers the questions people now ask AI assistants.
