Visibility scores, messaging gaps, competitive rankings, and a content plan, delivered as a downloadable PDF.
Your brand through the eyes of AI.
Each report sets out how four major platforms represent the brand when consumers ask for a recommendation.
AI Visibility Score
A single measure of how prominently the models feature your brand in recommendation responses, across all four platforms and benchmarked against competitors.
- Platform-by-platform brand analysis
- Competitive share of voice rankings
- Full AI response transcripts
- Messaging and sentiment gap analysis
- Content plan tied to the gaps
The report measures how often each model names your brand in recommendation answers. It returns the verbatim responses, the competitors ranked ahead of you, and the messaging gaps behind that ranking, then closes with a prioritized content plan. It arrives as a downloadable PDF your marketing team can work from directly.
The first report is free. Applaude plans start at $199/mo for ongoing tracking.

One report is a snapshot. Tracking is the system.
Visibility moves as content ships and as competitors publish. Tracking is what turns a single reading into a trend line.
Biweekly AI intelligence
Automated tracking across all four models. Trend lines, competitive shifts, content recommendations, and source attribution, on a recurring cadence.
- Automated biweekly or monthly monitoring runs
- Competitive intelligence and alerting
- Content gap prioritization
- Clickstream correlation to site traffic
- Google search volume cross-referencing
From visibility data to a content plan.
Tracking establishes the position. Changing it is the harder work, and it takes strategy and content produced against the specific gaps the data surfaces.
AEO Strategy & Consulting
Strategists audit the digital footprint, identify why the models rank competitors above you, and build a multi-quarter roadmap to close the gap. Includes executive reporting and quarterly business reviews.
AEO Content Engine
Production of the content assets the models draw on: authoritative long-form articles, structured FAQ pages, comparison content, and expert-sourced material, written for answer engine retrieval.
Competitive Intelligence
Track competitors across every platform, with alerts when a brand gains or loses visibility, and analysis of the content and signals behind the change.
Multi-Brand & Portfolio
Dashboards for organizations managing multiple brands, sub-brands, or product lines. Consolidated scoring, cross-brand benchmarking, and a central content strategy.
SEO got you to page one. AEO gets you recommended.
The buying journey is moving from search bars into chat windows. Brands that appear in AI recommendations reach demand that never sees a results page.
Rank on page one
Optimize for the search algorithm. Compete for ten blue links. Wait for the click.
Get recommended
Be the brand the model names when someone asks what to buy. No click required. You are the answer.
The compounding edge
Models learn from what they recommend. Positions established early tend to hold.
Managed AEO. Strategy, content, and reporting.
For enterprise brands that want more than a dashboard: a team that runs the AEO program from audit through published content to measured visibility change.
AEO Strategic Audit
An analysis of the digital presence through the lens of AI recommendation engines. Structured interviews with your team, competitive review, and a gap analysis showing where and why the models overlook the brand, with a prioritized roadmap.
AI-Optimized Content Production
Production of the assets the models draw on: authoritative pillar pages, structured comparison content, expert Q&A, and data-backed thought leadership, engineered for answer engine retrieval rather than search alone.
Ongoing Visibility Management
Biweekly tracking with a strategist who interprets shifts, adjusts content priorities, and provides executive-ready reporting. The AEO score becomes a tracked measure, and we carry it alongside you.
Executive Reporting & QBRs
Quarterly reviews connecting AEO visibility to pipeline, site traffic, and brand perception. Built for CMOs and board-level stakeholders who need the return, not the dashboard.
The first report is free.
