From FreeWhy it's on this listTechnical AEO · YesStructured data is written and repaired per page type, and robots.txt is checked against AI answer crawlers, though robots.txt edits are staged for the buyer to paste.Source ↗
Where it improves on Distribb

- 04

Weekly AI answer measurement plus the articles, placements and technical fixes to close the gaps it finds.
From $49/monthWhy it's on this listTechnical AEO · YesCrawler access, robots.txt, sitemaps, structured data and thin or duplicate pages are monitored and fixed, and the same audit is exposed as an MCP tool.Source ↗
Where it improves on Distribb
- +Microsoft Copilot · YesCopilot is in the engine list on the pricing page, though the homepage FAQ and the measurement pages call the same engine Bing, which is the sixth slot either way.Source ↗
- +Names the cited sources · YesEvery source an engine cited to build an answer is recorded, and the backlink pillar ranks domains by what the engines already quote for the category.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Distribb
- −Publishes to your site · PartlyDrafts can be pushed into a connected CMS, but nothing goes live without a human approving it, so publishing is gated on approval rather than automatic.Source ↗

Trade-offs against Distribb
