AEO / LLM Visibility Audit Skill
Search is moving from ten blue links to one AI answer. This skill measures the new page one: when your buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for the best tool in your category, does your brand get named — and if not, who does, and on which questions.
When to use
- To baseline and track answer-engine optimisation (AEO/GEO) — visibility inside AI-generated answers.
- To decide which content to write next: the questions where you are invisible are your highest-leverage targets.
- To benchmark share of voice against named competitors in AI answers over time.
When NOT to use
- For classic Google SEO rank tracking — that is a different surface; use an SEO tool.
- For brand sentiment — this measures presence in answers, not tone.
Method
- Take the real questions your buyers type into AI assistants.
- For each question, across each engine, capture which brands the answer names.
- Score: share of voice = the share of answers that name you; list the competitors named most; flag the questions where you appear in zero engines (true content gaps).
Inputs
brand— your brand namequestions— the buyer questions to testanswers— for each (question, engine), the brands named. In production these come from live API calls to each assistant; the demo ships a sampled set so the logic runs with no keys.
Output (JSON)
share_of_voice_pct, answers_checked, mentions, top_competitors[], and gap_questions[] — the questions to target first.
Run it
python scripts/aeo_score.py # built-in sample
python scripts/aeo_score.py in.json # your own brand + questions + answers
Zero dependencies, no API keys. To go live, replace the sampled answers with real calls to the ChatGPT / Perplexity / Gemini APIs; the scoring stays identical. A scheduled n8n version of this exact logic ships in pipeline-automation/aeo-llm-visibility-monitor.json.
