What Does AEO Spotlight Check?

AEO Spotlight monitors your brand presence across AI platforms and evaluates content structure, AI visibility factors, and competitive positioning. The platform checks how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Brave AI responses — tracking every mention, citation, and competitor that AI systems surface alongside your brand.

Key Insight: According to industry research, brands that appear on 3+ AI platforms have significantly higher overall AI visibility than those on just one. AEO Spotlight's 5-factor AEO Score measures Platform Diversity (30%), Citation Frequency (15%), Query Breadth (20%), Content Quality (20%), and Trend Direction (15%) to give you a complete visibility picture.
