The neutral index of AI-visibility & GEO tools

Summary

Aethon AI is an AI visibility platform built on "life moments" (the situations buyers describe to assistants) rather than keyword prompts. It pairs simulated answer tracking with a managed execution layer that drafts and ships the content and schema fixes.

From
$199/month$199 monthly · $159 billed annually
Free tier
PartlyNo free or trial tier of the platform: the vendor states plainly that it does not offer one. What is free is the GEO Grader baseline tool (no signup, no credit card, repeatable) and a one-off manual AI visibility audit across the four assistants, emailed within 2 business days and walked through on a 30-minute call.

What it does

Monitors AI answers
YesRuns mapped buyer moments as simulated conversations on all four assistants on a schedule, logging whether the brand is named, its position and the framing.We continuously simulate moment-driven conversations and capture exactly how each platform answers.aiaethon.com/product
Optimises your content
PartlyDiagnoses why an answer skipped you (missing page, contradicted fact, citation gap) and returns ranked fixes, but the Action Engine only starts on the $399 Pro plan; Starter is monitoring alone.when tracking finds a moment where assistants skip you, it traces the cause, a missing answer page, a contradicted fact, a citation gap, and…aiaethon.com/action-engine
Generates content
PartlyThe vendor will draft the content itself, but only through the Action Engine: Pro is capped at 12 briefs a month and unlimited drafting arrives on the $799 Business plan.Aethon can write the content too, behind brand and legal review queues.aiaethon.com/product
Publishes to your site
PartlyAethon will publish and distribute approved drafts on your behalf, but nothing ships until you approve it and no CMS integration or connector is named anywhere on the site.Publishes the fixes: content, schema, citations and coverageaiaethon.com/product
Technical AEO
PartlySchema generation is an Action Engine capability, so it needs Pro or above; a free llms.txt generator and a robots.txt crawler-access check in the free audit sit outside the plans.JSON-LD, FAQPage, HowTo, Product. The signals models parse.aiaethon.com/product
Done-for-you service
YesExecution by Aethon's own people is part of the subscription rather than a separate retainer, with a strategist, monthly working review and quarterly business review on the upper plans.Teams without capacity let us ship the work as part of the plan.aiaethon.com/action-engine

Google AI Mode
PartlyGoogle AI Mode is described as tracked "signals" alongside the four assistants on its own landing page, yet it appears in no plan feature list and the vendor's coverage answer elsewhere names only four platforms.Aethon tracks AI Mode signals alongside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.aiaethon.com/ai-mode-tracking

Grok

What it reports

AI crawler analytics
NoNo plan includes AI bot log or crawl analytics; the free audit checks whether crawlers are blocked in robots.txt, and the vendor tells readers to build the AI traffic view in their own GA4 and Search Console.Your existing stack covers it: analytics segments, Search Console, a form field, and CRM tags. The missing piece is usually the upstream…aiaethon.com/ai-traffic-analytics
Wrong answers about you
YesTracking flags a wrong fact appearing in an answer as movement worth alerting on, and the Action Engine routes contradicted facts and misdescribing profiles into entity corrections.it flags real movement: a competitor entering your moments, a wrong fact appearing, a citation you relied on going staleaiaethon.com/ai-visibility-tracking

Plans and signing up

Pro is $399: 250 moments plus the Action Engine and drift alerts.…aiaethon.com/faq
Projects or brands

Card required to start
NoThe free GEO Grader takes no card and no signup, and the free audit asks only for a name, work email and website; there is no paid trial to card-gate.Yes, and it does not require a credit card.

Self-serve signup
NoEvery plan button books a demo or a sales conversation, subscriptions start from an order form, and onboarding is a two-week founder-led process, so there is no way to buy unaided.Each subscription has an initial term of twelve (12) months from the start date set on the order form.aiaethon.com/terms
