What it does

Monitors AI answers: YesBenchmarking runs a client's buyer prompts through five named models and captures mention rate, positioning language and citation frequency, so watching AI answers is core to the engagement rather than an add-on.Then we run each prompt through five AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews). We capture the output from each model…yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework
Optimises your content: YesExisting pages are scored and sorted into action categories, and each page in a cluster gets a prescribed change, so this is analysis of the site you already have rather than only new production.Content Audit: Every existing page scored by quality, funnel stage, AEO readiness, and optimization opportunity. Shows what to keep, refresh, or…yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework
Generates content: PartlyWriting is included only on full-service engagements; the advisory retainer stops at briefs and specs the client's own team executes, so content production depends which tier you buy.Optimist offers advisory-only AEO engagements where we provide strategy and your team executes, and full-service engagements where we handle content…yesoptimist.com/aeo-agency
Technical AEO: YesSchema implementation, entity graph work and AI-crawler-accessible architecture are a named service line, and the technical foundation phase audits robots.txt access before any content work starts.Site architecture designed for AI crawlability and citationyesoptimist.com/aeo-agency
Done-for-you service: YesThis is a people-delivered agency, not software: it sells advisory retainers where clients execute and full-service retainers where Optimist's team leads execution end to end.Optimist works as both an AEO agency and a GEO agency, offering clients both organic growth (SEO + AEO) consulting and full-service execution.yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework

Answer engines

ChatGPT: YesChatGPT is first in the five-model set used for both the paid benchmark and the ongoing measurement of referred sessions and conversions.Optimist tracks AI visibility, AI-referred sessions, and conversions for all major AI surfaces — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews,…yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Perplexity: YesPerplexity appears in the same enumerated five surfaces for measurement and in the prompt-level benchmark run during the CORE Analysis.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Gemini: YesGemini is named as its own surface, separate from Google AI Overviews, in both the benchmark model list and the ongoing tracking list.AI visibility analysis across 5 models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews) using realistic buyer prompts mapped to your topic…yesoptimist.com/approach
Google AI Overviews: YesGoogle AI Overviews is one of the five benchmarked surfaces and is also broken out per channel in the free opportunity report.See how you show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and traditional SEO.yesoptimist.com/organic-revenue-opportu…
Google AI Mode: NoGoogle AI Mode is absent from an explicitly closed list of five models the vendor repeats on four pages; only AI Overviews represents Google's AI surfaces here.a custom benchmark of your AI visibility across all five major modelsyesoptimist.com/geo-services
Claude: YesClaude is one of the five models every prompt is run through, and the agency cites a retail client whose recommendations it moved in Claude specifically.Then we run each prompt through five AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews).yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework
Microsoft Copilot: NoMicrosoft Copilot is named nowhere on the site and is missing from the closed five-model list the vendor calls all major AI surfaces, so it is outside the tracked set.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Grok: NoGrok is absent from every engine list on the site, including the one the vendor presents as covering all major AI surfaces, so the default benchmark excludes it.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
DeepSeek: NoDeepSeek never appears on the site and falls outside the five surfaces the vendor enumerates as its measurement scope for AI visibility and referred conversions.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Meta AI: NoMeta AI is not among the five models benchmarked or the surfaces tracked; the vendor's own radar comparison charts six channels and Meta AI is not one of them.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Coverage in the vendor’s words: YesCoverage is a fixed set of five models for the diagnostic benchmark, though the ongoing retainer tracking is offered as open-ended rather than limited to those five.AEO Benchmarks: How visible you are across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews for real buyer prompts and how you compare to…yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework

What it reports

Names the cited sources: PartlyCitation frequency and which competitors get cited are measured and reported by model and cluster, but the vendor never claims a list of the specific domains or pages engines cite.Competitive AI intelligence — See which brands are being recommended and cited in your spaceyesoptimist.com/geo-services
Competitor tracking: YesCompetitor visibility is captured in the same benchmark run and reported as a share-of-voice comparison per model, and it appears even in the free report.Share-of-voice and recommendation rate measurement against competitorsyesoptimist.com/aeo-agency
Brand sentiment: YesThe benchmark captures the positioning language models use about the brand, and the vendor treats competitor-framed descriptions as a problem it exists to fix.We monitor share-of-voice (how often your brand appears and is recommended vs. competitors in category queries), recommendation quality, and the…yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Recommendations: YesThe diagnostic output is prescriptive, not descriptive: every page in a cluster is classified into one of six action categories and sequenced by pipeline impact.Based on the combined data sets, we can prescribe specific actions for each page within the cluster to improve performance across both search and AI.yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework
AI crawler analytics: NoThe technical phase checks whether AI crawlers are blocked, which is a directives audit; the enumerated measurement set is referred sessions and share of voice, with no bot-hit reporting.yesoptimist.com/geo-services
Wrong answers about you: YesAccuracy of the model's description is an explicitly monitored metric, and the framework names hallucinated solution mapping as a defect the MOFU work targets.Accurate solution mapping (the AI describes what you actually do, not a hallucinated version)yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework

Plans and signing up

Prompt or credit allowance: YesThe unit is buyer prompts, not credits: the analysis builds a library of over two hundred persona-derived prompts and runs each through five models.First, we generate a library of 200+ realistic buyer prompts ("the Prompt Space") from the topic clusters in our previous research.yesoptimist.com/the-core-framework
How often it checks: YesBoth retainer tiers list weekly AI visibility tracking, and the vendor's own results chart is plotted week by week, so cadence is weekly rather than on demand.yesoptimist.com
Card required to start: NoThe free entry point is a requested custom report delivered after a qualification conversation, with no payment step; the vendor states outright there is no catch.It's free. There's no catch. The report helps us understand the opportunity with real data and decide if a partnership would be a good investment.yesoptimist.com/organic-revenue-opportu…
Self-serve signup: NoThere is no sign-up path at all: even the free report is gated on qualification, and every engagement begins with a booked strategy call with the founder.About 5 business days from qualification.
