The AEO tool that fixes what it finds
Measure, diagnose and deploy in one place
Answer engine optimization means getting your site cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overview a question. Citerank measures where you are cited, finds the reasons you are skipped, and ships the fixes to your site.
Updated
Three jobs, and most tools only do the first
An answer engine optimization tool has three jobs. Tracking tells you that you are losing. Diagnosis tells you why. Deployment is the part that changes the result. Here is what Citerank uses for each.
| Job | The question it answers | Citerank tools |
|---|---|---|
| Measure | Which AI engines cite me, for which questions, and who do they cite instead? | Citation Checker, AI Rank Tracker, AI Overview Checker |
| Diagnose | Why does an engine skip my page for this question? | Why Not Cited, Page Auditor, View as AI Crawler, Site Crawler |
| Fix and deploy | What exactly do I change, and how does it get onto the site? | Schema and llms.txt generators, passage rewrites, Citerank Deploy for WordPress or Cloudflare |
How teams use Citerank for AEO
Audit the site for free
The Citerank Score checks AI crawler access, schema, entity clarity and passage structure on any page. Ten free scans a month, no card.
Track the questions that matter
Add the questions your buyers ask. See which engines cite you and which domains they cite instead.
Ship the fixes
Why Not Cited names the cause for each lost question. Deploy pushes schema, meta descriptions, passage rewrites, llms.txt and robots rules to WordPress, with an exact revert for every change.
Fixes that reach the site, with an undo
On WordPress, the Citerank plugin deploys schema, speakable markup, meta descriptions, passage rewrites, llms.txt, robots rules and WebMCP. It adds to the schema graph Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress already prints instead of duplicating it, and every change can be reverted exactly.
On any other site, a Cloudflare Worker serves llms.txt, robots rules, your agent card and WebMCP manifest without touching your server. Deploy is included on every paid plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AEO tool?
An AEO (answer engine optimization) tool helps you get cited in answers from AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. A complete one measures where you are cited, explains why you are skipped, and helps you change the site. Many tools in the category only measure.
Is AEO the same as GEO?
Mostly. Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are two names for the same work: making your content easy for AI systems to find, trust and quote. AEO is the older term and leans toward direct answers; GEO is used more for generative engines like ChatGPT. The tactics overlap almost entirely.
Which AI engines does Citerank track?
The Citation Checker covers ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The AI Rank Tracker adds Grok. The AI Overview Checker reads Google's live results for AI Overviews.
Is there a free AEO tool?
Yes. Citerank's free plan includes 10 scans a month across the Citerank Score, the Page Auditor, the schema generator and the llms.txt generator, with no credit card. Citation tracking starts on Starter at $29.99 a month.
How long does AEO take to work?
Fixes to crawler access and schema can be picked up as soon as engines recrawl the page, which is often days to a few weeks. Gains that depend on authority, such as being mentioned on the sites engines trust, take months. Track a fixed set of questions so you can see which changes moved.
Do I need AEO if I already do SEO?
The two share most of their foundations, and good SEO makes AEO easier. The differences are in the details AI engines care about: whether AI crawlers can fetch the page, whether the answer sits in a clean passage under a matching heading, and whether your company is described consistently across the web.
