# Peak Answer — Weekly AI answer measurement plus the articles, placements and technical fixes to close the gaps it finds. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/peak-answer (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-10-07 Peak Answer is an AEO platform that asks AI engines the questions a brand's buyers ask, records who gets named, and then writes articles, outreach drafts and technical fixes against the questions being lost. It also offers a done-for-you service. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://peakanswer.com | | Price | from $49/month billed monthly, $41/month billed annually | | Free trial | Partly | Seven-day free trial on all plans, cancellable from the billing page; the pricing page says a card is required while /product/five-pillars and /for-marketing-teams say "Seven days, no card". No standing $0 plan, though the ~50 tools at /tools need no account. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Yes — Core of the product: weekly simulated browser sessions put buyer questions to six engines and record whether the brand was named. > Peak Answer runs simulated browser sessions that ask AI engines the questions your buyers ask, on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Bing, every week. > — https://peakanswer.com/product/five-pillars · Section 1. Measurement, first paragraph **Optimises your content** · Yes — Content work starts from a question the brand measurably loses and from the sources the engines cited, and overlapping briefs are merged into the existing page rather than written twice. > The input is a question you are measurably losing, the sources the engines cited when they answered it, and what those sources covered that you do not. > — https://peakanswer.com/product/five-pillars · Section 2.

Content, first paragraph **Publishes to your site** · Partly — Drafts 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. > No. Generated articles sit as drafts until you approve them. The one thing that happens on a schedule without your involvement is the measurement. > — https://peakanswer.com/product/five-pillars · FAQs, "Does it publish without asking me?" answer **Technical AEO** · Yes — Crawler 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. > Answer readiness, AI crawler access, robots.txt, sitemap, structured data, headings, meta description, readability and entities for one URL, in one call > — https://peakanswer.com/docs/mcp · Tools, Reading table, audit_site row **Done-for-you service** · Partly — A separate Done for you engagement has Peak Answer's own people run the measurement, writing, placements and fixes weekly; the self-serve plans are software only, priced from $49. > No. It is included, and you get the same dashboard, the same weekly measurement and the same action list.
