Question 1

What is AEO (Agent Experience Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

AEO means making your brand visible to AI engines and usable by AI agents. SitePulsar scores three pillars: FIND (how agents discover you — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok visibility plus on-site discoverability), READ (how agents comprehend your site — structured data, schema, trust signals), and USE (how agents can act — llms.txt, APIs, MCP, agent task surfaces). The goal: when people ask AI, your brand gets mentioned and when agents try to transact, they can.

Question 2

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO targets Google search results — the blue links. AEO targets AI answers and autonomous agents. AI engines pick one brand and recommend it; they don't show a ranked list. AI engines care about brand authority, structured data, and content quality. Backlinks and keywords matter less. Agents also need machine-readable surfaces (llms.txt, schema, APIs) to act on.

Question 3

What does the USE pillar check?

Accepted Answer

The USE pillar prepares your site for AI agents — bots that browse and act without human help. SitePulsar checks 20+ factors for agent readiness. We look at llms.txt (an AI instructions file), robots.txt, structured data, API access, and page navigation.

Question 4

Which AI engines does SitePulsar check?

Accepted Answer

SitePulsar asks five major AI engines in real time: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity. We also check Google's Knowledge Graph, Places, and Search APIs. Together, these give you a clear view of how AI understands your brand.

Question 5

How long does an audit take?

Accepted Answer

Most audits finish in 3 to 4 minutes. We scan your site and ask all five AI engines at the same time. We gather Google data and build your full report. Your report includes scores, a competitor map, and a clear action plan.

Question 6

What do I get in the audit report?

Accepted Answer

You get an AEO score from 0 to 100, broken down into three pillars: FIND, READ, and USE. Your report shows which AI engines know your brand. It also lists your top competitors and your Google Knowledge Graph status. You get a step-by-step action plan to improve.

Question 7

Why should I care about AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

70–75% of Google searches end without a click. Users get the answer from the AI directly. When an AI summary appears, organic clicks drop from 15% to just 8% (Pew, 2025). Organic traffic has already fallen 15–25% since AI-driven results became common (Noventa, JIEM 2026). AI-referred visitors convert 4.4× better than regular search (Omnius, 2025). AEO can boost your AI visibility by up to 40% (Aggarwal et al., KDD 2024).
