# AEOlens — AEO/GEO platform: 48-check site audit, ranked code fixes and weekly buyer-question tracking across AI engines. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/aeolens (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-19 AEOlens is an AEO and GEO platform that scores how ready a page is to be cited by AI assistants, then re-asks buyer questions of those assistants. The same workspace generates optimised articles and logs AI crawler visits server-side. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://aeolens.ai/ | | Price | from $59/month billed monthly, $50/month billed annually | | Free tier | Yes | Standing $0 plan: 1 scan per month with the top 3 fixes and a shareable report, plus a public quick-scan that needs no signup (rate-limited to 10 scans per hour per IP). AI crawler analytics is free on all plans, limited to 3 bot families and 7 days of crawl history on Free. Separately, each paid plan opens with a 3-day trial that does require a card. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Paid 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 sentiment per engine > — https://aeolens.ai/ · AI Buyer Simulation section, 'Ask AI the questions your buyers are asking' **Optimises your content** · Yes — It 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. > — https://aeolens.ai/docs · Introduction section, first paragraph **Generates content** · Yes — Both 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 month > — https://aeolens.ai/pricing · Solo plan card, Includes list **Publishes to your site** · Partly — Pushing an article to a CMS is a Growth-tier capability;

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. > — https://aeolens.ai/for-agencies · Hero paragraph under 'Resell AI visibility audits to your clients' ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT 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 search engines used by buyers today. > — https://aeolens.ai/geo · FAQ, 'Which AI engines does AEOlens track for GEO?' **Perplexity** · Yes — Perplexity 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 search engines used by buyers today. > — https://aeolens.ai/geo · FAQ, 'Which AI engines does AEOlens track for GEO?' **Gemini** · Yes — Gemini 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 search engines used by buyers today. > — https://aeolens.ai/geo · FAQ, 'Which AI engines does AEOlens track for GEO?' **Google AI Overviews** · Yes — Google 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 Overviews > — https://aeolens.ai/pricing · Solo plan card, Includes list, second bullet **Google AI Mode** · Yes — Google 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 Overviews > — https://aeolens.ai/pricing · Solo plan card, Includes list, second bullet **Claude** · Yes — Claude 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 search engines used by buyers today. > — https://aeolens.ai/geo · FAQ, 'Which AI engines does AEOlens track for GEO?' **Microsoft Copilot** · No — Copilot 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 Copilot/Bing and Meta AI. > — https://aeolens.ai/ · FAQ, 'Which AI models do you check against?' **Grok** · Yes — Grok 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 search engines used by buyers today. > — https://aeolens.ai/geo · FAQ, 'Which AI engines does AEOlens track for GEO?' **DeepSeek** · No — The vendor states plainly on its own competitor comparison that DeepSeek is not covered, while a rival sells it as an add-on;
