AI engines included

AI Visibility,
measured across 8 engines.

Because every AI engine retrieves, ranks, cites, and recommends information differently — a brand cited consistently in ChatGPT may be completely absent from Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude. Every AEO Owl audit measures your visibility across all 8.

Why multi-engine

AI search is no longer one platform.

Customers use multiple AI systems to research, compare, and choose. Each engine uses different retrieval, ranking, citation, and source preferences — so your visibility can vary dramatically from one to the next.

AEO Owl shows you the full picture: which engines mention your brand, which competitors dominate responses, and where you're missing entirely.

Customers now use AI to…
Research products and services
Compare vendors and solutions
Ask for recommendations
Discover brands and competitors
Generate buying shortlists
Each engine differs in…
Retrieval & ranking methodologies
Citation behavior & source preferences
Context windows & search integration
Underlying training models
What we measure on every engine

Six signals, eight engines, one audit.

The same measurement framework runs against every engine — so you can compare your visibility apples-to-apples and identify exactly where to fix what.

Visibility Score

How visible your brand is across AI-generated answers, scored 1–10 with a 4-pillar diagnostic breakdown that shows you where the gap lives.

Citation Heatmap

Every target question against every engine. See where you're cited, partial, or missing.

Share of Voice

How frequently your brand appears in AI responses vs. every competitor in your category.

Competitor Benchmark

Same queries, side-by-side scoring against up to 5 competitors on every pillar.

Visibility Improvement Areas

Prioritized technical, content, and authority issues impacting AI discoverability.

Action Plan

A prioritized action plan covering immediate fixes, ongoing practices, and longer structural plays — each task tagged by impact.

The 8 engines

Every engine, audited.

The lineup of AI platforms where your brand discoverability is being decided right now — from massive consumer assistants to enterprise productivity tools to AI-native search.

The eight fall into three camps that pick what they cite differently: training-data engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek) recite trusted sources from their training corpus; retrieval engines (Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) fetch live web pages at answer time; and ecosystem & social engines (Gemini, Grok) lean on the Knowledge Graph and real-time social signals.

The fragmentation problem

AI visibility is fragmented.
Single-engine snapshots lie.

A brand that looks dominant on one platform can be completely absent on another. Auditing only ChatGPT — or only Perplexity — gives you a false picture. AEO Owl audits every engine in parallel so you see the truth.

📈
Rank highly in ChatGPT
…but cited inconsistently in Gemini and Claude
📉
Missing from Perplexity
…while competitors capture every research query
🎯
Dominate in Grok
…but invisible in consumer-facing engines
⚠️

…by a competitor you didn't know was investing in AEO

AI-generated answers are becoming the new discovery layer for the internet. The brands that measure across every engine will own their category in AI search.
