Quick Scan workflow

The homepage is where you run the scan. This page explains the operating order.

Keep the runnable experience on the homepage. Use this guide when the team needs the narrow playbook for what to do after the first ranking answer comes back.

Use this guide to decide the next move
Run the live scan on the homepage when you need the first real answer.
Open AEO Audit only when one landing page or docs page should already be winning.
Use Citation Gap when repeated competitor citations point to an authority or proof deficit.
How the workflow works

The public workflow should answer one question fast.

This page explains the narrow operating order behind the scan. Start with the first read, then open the deeper tools only when the evidence says you should.

1

Type the buyer keyword buyers actually ask AI.

Keep the first check narrow. One brand and one keyword is easier to read than a full campaign setup.

2

Run the starter pack across the default three models.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI give a fast first-pass view of whether your brand is recommended at all.

3

Only go deeper when the first answer says you should.

Carry the same context into page audits or citation comparisons instead of guessing the next step.

What the first answer should give you
Average rank across the default three-model pack.
Which competitor shows up above your brand most often.
Whether to stay on the scan, audit a page, or compare citations next.
Keep it simple

Optional domain and competitor inputs stay hidden until they are useful. That keeps the first run closer to a tool site than a product setup flow.

Proof library

Published reports should be part of the product story.

The tool flow gives you a live answer. The report library gives you durable proof: category benchmarks, repeatable methodology, and a public page you can share with stakeholders without replaying the scan every time.

Start from evidence
Browse canonical report pages for tracked software and data-collection categories.
Use them to compare providers, recurring blockers, and the next tool handoff.
FAQ

Questions teams ask before they start scanning.

What is AI keyword ranking tracking?

AI keyword ranking tracking monitors where your brand appears in AI-generated recommendations for a category keyword. It shows whether your brand is ranked, which competitors are above it, which URLs are cited, and how results vary across providers like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Google AI, and Grok.

Which AI models does AITracking.io monitor?

AITracking.io monitors 6 major AI models: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI, and Grok. Each model is queried simultaneously to provide a comprehensive visibility picture.

What is an AI Visibility Score?

An AI Visibility Score is a supporting metric that summarizes how strongly your brand appears in AI-generated responses. For keyword ranking workflows, rank position, competitors above you, and cited URLs are the primary signals.

How does AEO differ from SEO?

AEO focuses on optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated answers, while traditional SEO targets search engine result pages. AEO considers factors like structured data, authoritative citations, and content that AI models prefer to reference.
