METHODOLOGY · WHAT WE MEASURE AND HOW
Straight answers about our data
Where answers come from. AEOHIT queries the official APIs of OpenAI (ChatGPT models with web search), Anthropic (Claude with web search), Google (Gemini with search grounding) and Perplexity (Sonar), plus Google AI Overviews and AI Mode results via professional SERP data providers. This is the same measurement methodology used across the AI-visibility industry.
What we do not claim.We do not scrape consumer apps, and we do not claim to reproduce any individual user's personalized results. AI answers vary by user, session and day — that is exactly why we measure on a schedule and score the trend, not a single answer.
The score.Your AI Visibility Score combines presence (how often you appear), prominence (how early), share of voice (you vs competitors), sentiment, and citations (whether engines cite your site as a source), weighted by each engine's real-world referral share. Engine weights are published in-app and recalibrated as the market shifts.
No ranking guarantees. Nobody controls AI engines. We measure honestly, generate every fix that correlates with getting cited, and show you the trend. That is the whole promise — and it is enough.
