AI visibility, answer engine optimization, LLM SEO — getting mentioned and recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI search. Tool-shopper terms surging 700-1,900% YoY at KD 10-38.
I run my own AEO stack and got my site cited by name in Perplexity. Here's an honest breakdown of the AI SEO tool market — content generators, visibility monitors, and the suites — with real pricing and verdicts per use case.
LLM SEO is the practice of getting ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to mention and recommend your business. Here's what actually drives it — brand mentions (r=0.664), entity signals, structured data — from someone whose site gets cited by name.
AI search doesn't rank pages — it extracts passages. Query fan-out, 134-167-word answer chunks, and why ChatGPT search runs on Bing. The mechanical guide to optimizing for AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT, from someone who runs the stack himself.

Most 'AEO tools' are SEO tools with a new landing page. Here's the short list organized by job — monitoring, schema, content structure, indexing — including the free options and the parts I just built myself.
AI visibility is whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI mention your business when buyers ask for recommendations. 65% of consumers now research purchases with AI. Here's how the engines pick who to recommend — and how to become one of them.
Profound, Peec AI, Scrunch, Otterly, LLMrefs, plus the Semrush and Ahrefs bolt-ons — compared honestly by someone who built his own tracker instead. Prices run $29 to $2,000+/month, and none of them fix what they find.
AEO is how you become the source AI engines quote instead of the site they skip. This playbook comes from someone whose pages earn named Perplexity citations: answer blocks, entity consistency, schema, the Princeton GEO tactics, and the off-site work that predicts visibility 3x better than backlinks.
Three ways to track what AI engines say about your business: manual spot-checks (free, 1 hour/month), paid tools ($29-$499/month), or build your own checker on the Perplexity API for about a penny per query. I built mine — here's the full playbook.
