AEO, GEO, SEO: what an AEO audit is for

SEO optimizes for ranked link results. AEO, sometimes called GEO for generative engine optimization, optimizes for the synthesized answer a model gives when it does not show ten blue links at all. The buyer reads one paragraph and acts on it. An AEO audit measures your place in that paragraph.

Ron treats AEO as something measurable, not a vibe. It scores your mention rate, your recommendation position, your citation rate, and your sentiment across three engines, then hands you the specific changes that move each one.

What the audit covers

  • 36 grounded queries: 12 buyer questions across 3 engines, web search on.
  • Named competitors and category share of voice.
  • A citation source map of the domains engines trust in your category.
  • A technical pass on llms.txt, robots.txt, and AI-crawler access.
  • A prioritized, copy-paste fix list with a this-week action plan.

Built for small teams, not procurement

The enterprise AEO platforms start near ninety dollars a month and sell to teams with budget cycles. Ron is one report, $39, no contract, designed for anyone who wants a straight answer and a short list of fixes without onboarding into a platform. If you outgrow it, that is a good problem.

Questions

Is AEO the same as GEO?

Close enough to use interchangeably. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) both describe getting AI answers to represent you well. Ron covers the practical work either label points at.

Do I need an AEO audit if my SEO is already good?

Often yes. Strong Google rankings do not guarantee an AI model mentions you, and a single blocked crawler can keep you out of AI answers entirely while your SEO looks fine.

What is the deliverable?

A single report: a 0 to 100 score with subscores, the per-engine and competitor breakdown, the citation map, and 5 to 10 ranked fixes you can ship this week.
