Bot AEO Monthly — AI citation retainer

Measure whether you're cited when AI recommends your category

Your prospects ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for software recommendations. Bot AEO Monthly is the monthly retainer for that check: an audit, answer-shaped pages, an entity plan, and a scoreboard for month-over-month movement. No promised citations.

Monitoring, every month

The shift

While competitors fight over blue links, your buyers are asking an AI what to purchase — and trusting the answer.

Prospects ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for recommendations, get Gemini to compare solutions, and let Google AI Overviews shortlist vendors before they ever reach your site. If an engine doesn't cite you on that question, the answer doesn't mention you — the monthly audit is how you see whether it does.

Process

How Bot AEO Monthly works

A monthly cycle: measure where AI engines mention you, ship content shaped for citation, then measure again.

  1. 01

    Check the 4 engines on your buyer questions

    We run the questions your prospects ask when they're ready to buy through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, and note which vendors each answer names.

  2. 02

    Screenshot and date every answer

    Each answer is captured with the engine, the question, and the date, so month-over-month comparisons rest on evidence you can open, not on memory.

  3. 03

    Build answer pages and citation plan

    We draft pages shaped for how AI engines parse a category answer, plus an entity & citation plan to work from. Pages and a plan — not a claim that engines will cite them.

  4. 04

    Monthly scoreboard

    A query × engine matrix of named / not named, set next to last month, so you can read movement and we can adjust the work as engines change.

Deliverables

What you get each month

Concrete artifacts, delivered monthly — not vague "optimization."

10 money-query AI citation audit

Comprehensive testing of how AI engines answer your prospects' buying questions — delivered as a detailed report with competitor analysis and opportunity gaps.

Up to 4 answer-shaped pages

Answer-shaped pages for your category, structured for how AI engines parse an answer. Delivered as markdown for your CMS, a GitHub PR, or a Notion pack — ready to publish.

Entity & citation plan

A written plan covering entity relationships, authority markers, and citation patterns for your category.

Monthly scoreboard

A query × engine matrix for whether you're cited on buyer questions. Read month-over-month movement — not a promise that a cell will flip.

Measurement

A scoreboard, not a vibe

Every month you see the same matrix: your money queries down the side, the AI engines across the top, and whether you're cited on each one. No fuzzy dashboards — a record of month-over-month movement, not proof that engines will cite you.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who is Bot AEO Monthly for?
Bot AEO Monthly is for B2B SaaS founders, Heads of Growth, and B2B commerce leaders who want a monthly read on whether AI assistants mention them when prospects research solutions. You should have a live product and paying customers.
How is this different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO targets Google search rankings. Bot AEO is the monthly process for AI answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews: pages shaped for how those engines parse a category answer, plus a scoreboard that records whether you were cited. Not a promised citation.
Do you guarantee citations or rankings?
No, we do not guarantee specific citations or rankings in AI systems. Results vary by industry, competition, and content quality. We run the process and record month-over-month movement, but AI engine behavior is ultimately controlled by the platforms themselves.
What's included in the Pilot?
The Pilot includes a limited version of our full audit and one answer-shaped page. It is a one-time purchase, and the fee is credited in full toward month 1 of any ongoing retainer. Pilot Plus offers extended coverage for US-funded SaaS companies.
Can I cancel? Is there a lock-in?
No lock-in. You may cancel a monthly subscription at any time before the next billing cycle. Pilot purchases are one-time and receive 100% credit toward an ongoing retainer if you continue. Monthly fees already billed are non-refundable (see Terms).
How do you measure?
We record whether you're cited on buyer questions across AI engines, using a monthly scoreboard — a query × engine matrix. We read month-over-month movement as engines change. Movement is a measurement, not a promised citation.
