    Source retrieved 2026-09-11

  • Bttr. Yes

    Schema work is itemised down to the specific types and to @id cross-linking so the engines resolve one entity, and the studio publishes its own field guide on llms.txt; this is the strongest-evidenced half of the offer.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-02

  • SEObot Qualified

    The vendor publishes free standalone utilities that emit JSON-LD structured data for FAQPage, QAPage and Article, plus a robots.txt generator and canonical checker, but these are browser tools a person runs by hand; no help-centre article describes the paid agent adding schema, llms.txt or crawler directives to your site automatically.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-09

    AutoFix writes schema, metadata, alt text, headings and canonicals without a developer, and the crawler scores AI citation eligibility; the published fix list stops short of llms.txt and robots.txt edits.

The population

115 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-09-14. 114 of the 115 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “Technical AEO fixes”. That row asks: Does it handle schema, llms.txt or crawler directives? One other listing has no recognised stored answer on this row and is left out of every figure below rather than counted as a no.

Findings

  1. 63 of the 114 settled listings answer “Yes” for “Technical AEO fixes”. That is 55% of the settled set.

  2. 35 of the 114 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “Technical AEO fixes”. That is 31% of the settled set.

  3. 15 of the 114 settled listings answer “No” for “Technical AEO fixes”. That is 13% of the settled set.

  4. 1 of the 114 settled listings answer “Not established” for “Technical AEO fixes”. That is 1% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is LLMClicks.ai AI Visibility Tracker, which still answers yes for “Technical AEO fixes”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “Technical AEO fixes” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 114 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. It is not the 115 in the index, because a missing answer is not evidence of absence. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
