AEO Spotlight Launches to Help Brands See Where They Show Up in AI Answers

Published April 14, 2026 · Adam Rock

AEO Spotlight launched today as a dedicated AI visibility monitoring platform. Brands can now see, in one dashboard, how often they are mentioned across ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and whether those mentions actually lead to recommendations.

What the Platform Does

After signing up, a brand enters its website URL and AEO Spotlight automatically detects the brand name and its variations. The platform then generates monitoring queries that mirror how customers actually ask about the business, grouped into industry discovery, problem and solution, and competitor defense.

Each query runs against the major AI answer engines and the platform scores the brand from 0 to 100 using five weighted factors: platform diversity, citation frequency, query breadth, content quality, and trend direction. The dashboard shows where the brand is winning, where it is missing entirely, and which competitors are being recommended in its place.

Why It Matters

More and more customers start their research in an AI assistant instead of a search engine. If a brand does not appear in those answers, it is effectively invisible to that part of the market. AEO Spotlight was built to make that gap visible and give teams a concrete list of what to fix.

Availability

AEO Spotlight is available now at aeospotlight.com. New accounts include a free tier with a daily visibility pulse check, and paid plans add continuous 24/7 monitoring across all supported platforms.
