What it does

Monitors AI answers

YesPaid plans re-ask a fixed set of buyer-intent questions of the major assistants and store the answers, citation rate, average position and per-engine sentiment.Run 25 real buyer-intent prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok simultaneously. See your citation rate, average position, and…aeolens.ai ↗

Optimises your content

YesIt crawls pages you already own and scores 48 weighted structural signals, returning a ranked implementation list rather than only a verdict on each page.It runs 48 structural checks on any URL and returns a 0–100 score plus a ranked implementation list.aeolens.ai/docs ↗

Generates content

YesBoth paid plans include a monthly allowance of optimised articles, and the API documents an LLM-backed content brief generator built from simulation content gaps.3 optimised articles per monthaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Publishes to your site

PartlyPushing an article to a CMS is a Growth-tier capability; the comparison table marks CMS publishing with a dash on the cheaper Solo plan.15 optimised articles per month + CMS publishingaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Technical AEO

YesThe audit covers robots.txt directives for AI user agents, llms.txt presence, canonical tags, sitemaps, soft-404s and FAQPage/Organization schema, each with copy-paste fix code.AI crawler access for 11 bots, static HTML visibility, HTTPS, canonical tags, sitemap, response speed, soft-404 handling.aeolens.ai/docs ↗

Done-for-you service

NoThe Agency tier is white-label software an agency operates itself and resells; the vendor supplies tooling and onboarding, not people who do the optimisation work.AEOlens Agency runs the 48-check structural audit, the 5-model AI buyer simulation, and the multi-domain crawler analytics — under your brand.aeolens.ai/for-agencies ↗

Answer engines

ChatGPT

YesChatGPT is queried in every description of the buyer simulation and is one of the five platforms the plan cards say tracked questions are asked on.AEOlens tracks GEO visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) — the five major generative AI…aeolens.ai/geo ↗

Perplexity

YesPerplexity appears in the simulated model set on every product page and in the plan cards' list of platforms tracked questions are asked on.AEOlens tracks GEO visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) — the five major generative AI…aeolens.ai/geo ↗

Gemini

YesGemini is queried in the buyer simulation and the audit scores Google-Extended access separately because Gemini uses different access signals from Googlebot.AEOlens tracks GEO visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) — the five major generative AI…aeolens.ai/geo ↗

Google AI Overviews

YesGoogle AI Overviews is one of the five surfaces both paid plan cards say the tracked questions are asked on, and it carries its own logo in the plan header.All 5 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviewsaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Google AI Mode

YesGoogle AI Mode is listed beside AI Overviews as a platform the tracked questions are asked on, on both the Solo and Growth plan cards.All 5 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviewsaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Claude

YesClaude is one of the five simulated models on the product, docs and GEO pages, though the pricing cards' own list of five platforms names AI Mode and AI Overviews instead of it.AEOlens tracks GEO visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) — the five major generative AI…aeolens.ai/geo ↗

Microsoft Copilot

NoCopilot is never asked a question: the vendor names the five models it checks against and places Microsoft Copilot/Bing under crawler observability, meaning bot-visit logging only.ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI) and Claude (Anthropic), plus crawler observability for Google AI Overviews, Microsoft…aeolens.ai ↗

Grok

YesGrok is queried in the buyer simulation and the audit weights X/Twitter card markup specifically because X mentions are a Grok citation signal.AEOlens tracks GEO visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), and Grok (xAI) — the five major generative AI…aeolens.ai/geo ↗

DeepSeek

NoThe vendor states plainly on its own competitor comparison that DeepSeek is not covered, while a rival sells it as an add-on; no other page mentions DeepSeek.Peec also offers DeepSeek as an add-on; AEOlens does not cover DeepSeek today.aeolens.ai/vs/peec ↗

Meta AI

NoMeta AI is covered only as a crawler family whose visits are logged server-side; it is excluded from the five models the vendor says it queries for answers.ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI) and Claude (Anthropic), plus crawler observability for Google AI Overviews, Microsoft…aeolens.ai ↗

Coverage in the vendor’s words

YesCoverage is stated as five engines on both paid tiers with no per-tier engine gating, but the two published lists differ: plan cards name AI Mode and AI Overviews, product pages name Claude and Grok.All 5 AI platforms — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviewsaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

What it reports

Names the cited sources

YesIt records the cited sources behind each answer and breaks them out by domain, naming the competing pages that were cited when your brand was not.For every query you lose, AEOLens names the domains the model cited, diagnoses why they win, and turns it into a ranked, copy-paste fix list —…aeolens.ai ↗

Competitor tracking

YesRivals appear alongside your brand from the entry plan, capped at three competitors on Solo and ten on Growth; the brand-by-platform heatmap and citation gap analysis need Growth.Answers, cited sources and competitor share of voiceaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Brand sentiment

YesEach simulated answer is classified positive, neutral or negative per engine, and daily community monitoring adds sentiment signals from X, Reddit, Hacker News and Product Hunt.Whether AI citations describe your brand positively, neutrally, or negatively. Negative sentiment can be more damaging than no citation at all.aeolens.ai/ai-citation-tracking ↗

Recommendations

YesEvery failing check ships with the exact change to make, ordered by projected score lift, and the product tracks fixes through a mark-done and re-score loop.Get a prioritized, copy-paste fix list ordered by the score lift each change unlocks.aeolens.ai ↗

AI crawler analytics

YesServer-side capture logs AI bot hits with ASN and reverse-DNS verification; the free tier sees three bot families and seven days, paid tiers all eight families and longer history.AEOlens tracks 8 AI bot families covering 25+ individual user-agent stringsaeolens.ai/ai-crawler-analytics ↗

Plans and signing up

Prompt or credit allowance

YesVolume is metered in tracked questions per plan — 25 on Solo, 100 on Growth — with the Agency page quoting 40 buyer simulations a month instead.25 tracked questions, re-asked on a weekly rotationaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Projects or brands

PartlyBoth published plans include exactly one project, so a second brand or client domain is a paid add-on rather than something the tier covers.1 project · add more at $49/mo eachaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

Countries

PartlyTracking answers in languages other than English is a Growth-only line and the audit checks hreflang, but no country or market selector is published anywhere on the site.Non-English answer trackingaeolens.ai/pricing ↗

How often it checks

YesTracked questions are re-asked on a weekly rotation on both plans, dashboards refresh daily, and one-off scans can be run on demand from the dashboard or CI.Re-scan weekly, track citations climbing, and get alerted the moment your visibility drops.aeolens.ai ↗

Card required to start

PartlyThe free audit and free crawler analytics take no card, but the three-day trial that precedes either paid plan does demand payment details up front.No. Run your first audit free and get a full score in under 60 seconds — no card, no setup.aeolens.ai ↗

Self-serve signup

YesBoth tiers are bought from the site with public prices and a sign-up link; only the custom Enterprise option routes through a sales conversation.AEOlens fits the gap: self-serve, multi-client, $149/mo public pricing, with additional client domains at $49/mo each.aeolens.ai/for-agencies ↗

Access and integrations

API

PartlyAnyone can hit the unauthenticated quick-scan endpoints, but the keyed REST API and the CI scan gate are withheld from Solo and need Growth or above.Requires Growth or Agency plan.aeolens.ai/api ↗

MCP server

NoAn MCP server is queued on the public roadmap with no committed date, so no agent can query a workspace today.Expose AEOlens scans and KPIs over the Model Context Protocol so AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) can query a workspace directly.aeolens.ai/roadmap ↗

BI export

PartlyData leaves via PDF, Markdown and the JSON API on Growth, but there is no warehouse or BI connector: Looker Studio is unshipped and Power BI is only listed as planned.Not today — Looker Studio export is on the AEOlens roadmap but not shipped yet.aeolens.ai/vs/peec ↗
