What answer engine optimisation is

Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the work of getting your company named and cited when someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. Search engine optimisation (SEO) got you onto a results page; AEO gets you into the one answer the assistant gives. The engines pick from sources they already trust, so the work is mostly about being present, consistent and well described in those sources.

The method here has three stages, and the audit runs the first two for you. Measure whether you appear, diagnose which sources the engines are reading, then fix the gaps. Everything below is open, so you can run it yourself or ask us to.

Open skills for AEO

Skills are plain markdown files that Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Swan can load. Every one below is MIT licensed from the gtm-skills project, credited to its author. Install by copying the folder into your agent's skills directory.

Measure

Find out whether answer engines mention you, and how consistently.

AI visibility prompt research

Builds the set of buyer questions to monitor, holding the brand back until the end so prompts reflect the market rather than the marketing copy. This is stage one of Answer Audit.

AEO visibility tracking

Seeds buyer prompts, tracks brand presence per engine and country over time, and mines which citations move the score.

AI visibility sampling

Re-asks every question several times per engine and majority-votes presence, so a visibility number can be defended rather than argued about.

Local AI visibility

For businesses that serve specific towns. Measures AI answers town by town and produces a ranked gap map of where the brand is missing.

Diagnose

Work out which sources shape the answers and why competitors win them.

AEO score audit

Traces any headline visibility score down to the individual scans and the raw answer text. The audit trail behind a number a client will question.

AEO citation drill-down

Three levels down: cited domains, then the specific URLs driving citations, then the full answers. Ends in a ranked content hit list.

SEO intel

Live-data SEO research including an AI-visibility audit of how often assistants mention and cite a brand. Useful when classic search and answer engines need one view.

Brand mention monitor

Sweeps social, news and forums for brand mentions. The open-web signal that feeds prompt research and shows where sentiment forms.

Fix

Get into the sources engines already trust.

Citation gap outreach

Turns the list of sources engines already cite into a get-listed plan, with the right ask for each source type.

Reddit authority commenting

Reddit threads are among the most-cited sources in AI answers. This treats the comment as the unit of authority and works the threads engines read.

Quora authority answering

Linkless answers that survive moderation and get indexed, on the questions engines pull from when answering buyers.
