Frequently Asked Questions

Aiden is an AI-powered SEO and AEO (AI Engine Optimization) manager. It uses autonomous AI agents to analyze your website, track how AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview reference your content, and generate actionable optimization plans you can execute with one click.

AEO stands for AI Engine Optimization. It is the practice of optimizing your website so that AI-powered search engines — such as ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overview, and Claude — cite, recommend, or reference your brand when users ask relevant questions. AEO is the next evolution of SEO, focused on visibility inside AI-generated answers rather than traditional blue-link rankings.

Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking in Google's blue-link results. AEO optimizes for being cited inside AI-generated responses. The key differences: AI engines prioritize structured, authoritative, and frequently-referenced content; they pull from sources differently than Google's PageRank; and visibility is measured by citation rate rather than click-through rate. Aiden handles both SEO and AEO together because they reinforce each other.

Aiden is designed for marketing teams, founders, and SEO professionals who want to stay visible as search shifts to AI. Whether you run an e-commerce store, a SaaS product, a local business, or a media site, Aiden helps you understand and improve how AI search engines present your brand.

When you enter your domain, Aiden's AI agents crawl your publicly accessible pages and run a multi-layered analysis: technical SEO audit, content quality assessment, schema markup evaluation, AI citation tracking across major AI engines, and competitive benchmarking. The entire diagnosis takes about 60 seconds and produces an AEO Health Score with detailed findings.

Aiden tracks citations and visibility across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Google AI Overview (SGE), Claude (Anthropic), and Microsoft Copilot. The number of engines depends on your plan — the Free tier covers 2 engines, Starter covers 4, and Growth covers 6.

Aiden uses 10 specialized AI agents that work autonomously: Domain Analyzer, Keyword Discovery, Technical Fixes, Content Optimizer, GEO Booster (schema and structured data), Freshness Check, Community Scout, Outreach Agent, Competitor Intel, and Monitor. Each agent handles a specific aspect of SEO and AEO optimization. On paid plans, these agents generate ready-to-implement deliverables.

After diagnosing your site, Aiden generates an Action Plan — a prioritized list of specific changes to improve your AI search visibility. This includes technical fixes (meta tags, schema markup, page speed), content recommendations (topics to write, pages to update), and AEO-specific optimizations (FAQ schema, citation-friendly formatting). On the Growth plan, many of these actions can auto-execute via CMS integration.

On the Growth plan, Aiden can connect directly to your CMS (WordPress, Webflow, and more) and automatically implement certain optimizations — like adding schema markup, updating meta descriptions, or publishing content drafts — without you needing to copy-paste. You review and approve each change before it goes live.
