AEO — Answer Engine Optimization

Clarity in the AI fog.

When your customers ask AI who to trust, will it name you? We help make you easier for it to name — scored by machine, planned by Andrew — and we track it: your visibility in AI answers over time, and the visits AI sends you, in your own analytics.

What the name means

EMARATION

GreekHémera — the dawn of clarity.

SpanishEmanar — the relentless flow.

Where the light breaks. Where the current begins.

AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — is Emaration's craft: helping AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok) see your business and describe it accurately, and helping make you easier for them to name when customers ask — then tracking it: your visibility in AI answers over time, and the visits AI sends you.

It doesn't replace SEO — it extends it. Same fundamentals, higher stakes.Read the full story →

How we work to improve your AI visibility.

We run a five-layer audit, then fix what it finds: structured data and llms.txt so AI engines can read you, answer-led content so you can become the answer, and GA4 and Search Console measurement so you can see the results. Every AI-assisted step is metered and disclosed, and Andrew writes the plan from your findings.

The Light · Hémera

The Audit: Dispelling the Fog.

Before we build, we illuminate. No vanity metrics, no bloated busywork lists — just a sharp audit of how AI and Google see your business.

One deterministic 0–100 score and A–F grade — a critical finding in a foundational category caps it outright, so the number never lies by averaging.

The Flow · Emanar

Monitoring: Engineering the Current.

Once the fog is cleared, the current keeps moving: weekly monitoring re-reads your site and flags what actually moved — score drops, new critical findings. One audited AI pipeline drafts the fixes, every call metered, and a human approves each piece before it ships.

We generate the fix, not just the finding: ready-to-ship schema, question H2s, and answer-led copy you download or we ship as a pull request.

We query the engines your customers use: ChatGPT · Claude · Perplexity · Gemini · Grok — how we measure.

Inside the report

We ran the scan on ourselves. This is the report.

The same free scan you can run on your homepage, run on ours. Shown as it stood on 2026-10-12; with scripts on, a newer live result replaces it while you read, when one is ready. Every number below is the scan's own output: what it read, what it could not, and what it would hand a member next.

Scope of this scan

Text contrast was measured on part of the rendered page; most of its text could not be judged. Reflow, orientation and keyboard focus are checked there for problems a browser can see, and a person still needs to confirm them. The other 12 WCAG AA criteria need a human review; this scan does not attempt them.

Our score across three recorded scansAug 10: 86 out of 100, grade B; Aug 10: 97 out of 100, grade A; Sep 14: 100 out of 100, grade A.
  1. 86/B Aug 10 First honest read of our own homepage.
  2. 97/A Aug 10 Title 73→44 characters, meta description 183→154, an Answers band with FAQPage JSON-LD generated from the visible questions, a third owned profile linked.
  3. 100/A Sep 14 A named founder entity, a HowTo of the method, a hero that opens with a question, and the notes that report a healthy result stopped costing a point.

What membership adds to that

  • Recommended changes with the files attached.JSON-LD blocks and an llms.txt written for your site, ready to paste, each tied to the finding it closes.
  • Fixes as pull requests.Through the Emaration GitHub App, a site fix arrives as a pull request you approve. Nothing publishes itself.
  • Weekly re-checks that say only what they saw.Each change comes back as verified live, not yet observed, or our check could not run — never a guess from silence.
  • Your AI share of voice, over time.What ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Grok answer about your category, and how often the answer is you.
  • Andrew writes the plan.The scan is deterministic; the plan is a person reading your findings and putting them in order.

The short version

Key takeaways

  • AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — means helping AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok) and Google see your business and describe it accurately, and helping make you easier for them to name.
  • The audit is five layers deep: the scan is automated — the same rubric for every site, so month-over-month changes mean something — and Andrew writes the plan for what to fix.
  • Membership is $9 the first month, then $99/month, month-to-month, and you start it yourself at checkout — no sales call.
  • Onboarding (our automated audit and setup) comes with membership and is not sold separately.
  • The free door is a scored scan of your home page — no card.
  • And we track it: your visibility in AI answers over time, and the visits AI sends you — in your own analytics.

What buyers ask before they sign.

What exactly is an AI audit?

An automated crawl of your site, scored by five analyzers, plus two site-wide checks. The scan finishes in minutes; the written audit comes back within three business days — we aim for the same day. We look at five things.

First, the technical and indexing problems pulling your Google rank down. Second, the content and keyword gaps on your pages. Third, whether your pages are built to be quoted by an AI answer engine: schema, author identity, a direct answer near the top. Fourth, your public presence: social profiles, Google Business Profile signals, and whether your name, address, and phone agree across your own pages. Fifth, an accessibility read for common WCAG Level A barriers, plus further checks that lower the score when they find something (each one's cost to the score is on the methodology page). The two site-wide checks are a crawl-health pass (broken and unreachable internal pages) and an AI-crawler pass: whether your robots.txt lets AI crawlers read your site at all, and whether an llms.txt is present.

You get a written report, a dashboard view, and a plan. The scan finds the problems; Andrew writes the plan from your findings — the scanner ranks and explains, it doesn't write your plan. Membership is one flat price, with one free consulting hour each month; anything beyond that hour is scoped with you before it starts.

What the audit itself does not do: it doesn't query ChatGPT or Gemini live to see whether they name you today, and it doesn't read your analytics or ad accounts. Live citation tracking is a separate membership tool that runs your buyer questions against Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok every week. If you connect Google Analytics and Search Console in your portal, the Visibility page reads back the visits AI sends you. We'd rather name the boundary than let you assume a scan saw something it can't.

What does onboarding cost?

It has no price of its own: onboarding (our automated audit and setup) comes with membership and is not sold separately.

We can include it because onboarding is automated: near-zero marginal cost to run, full value to you. Membership is $9 the first month, then $99/month, month-to-month, and you can start it yourself at checkout — no sales call. If you want to look before you buy, a $0 homepage scan takes no card.

What do I get with membership?

Onboarding (our automated audit and setup — it comes with membership and is not sold separately). Weekly monitoring, one deep scan a day, AI-visibility tracking across five engines, the generated fixes attached to every released report, and one free consulting hour each month. The senior people do your work — no junior account-manager hand-off. A voice in the methodology: your audit findings shape its next version. Membership is $9 the first month, then $99/month, month-to-month, and you start it yourself at checkout. A $0 homepage scan, if you'd rather look first, takes no card.

How is this different from Semrush, Ahrefs, or a free SEO tool?

Those tools hand you a 200-item checklist and leave you to guess which five items actually move money. Our audit ranks findings by severity, checks whether your robots.txt allows the AI answer engines' crawlers and whether your pages are structured to be quoted, and ends with a plan Andrew wrote from the findings.

The tool gives you data. The audit gives you a decision, with Andrew's name on it.

Can I see a sample audit before I pay?

Better than a sample: run the $0 homepage scan, no card, on your own site. You see the real thing on your real pages rather than a demo built on someone else's.

If you'd rather read one first, email human@emaration.ai and we'll send an illustrative walkthrough built on a composite, anonymized business profile (we have no published clients yet, so it isn't a real client) — we aim to send it within one business day.
