Your users have started asking ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of Google. So here is the uncomfortable question: when someone asks an AI engine "what is the best tool for <your category>", does your product show up in the answer? Most founders have no idea. I didn't either, until I measured it — and the gap was nowhere near where I expected.
So we built a CLI to measure it. It's called aeo-platform, it's MIT-licensed, it has zero runtime dependencies, and it runs entirely on your machine. This post is the five-minute version: install it, point it at your domain, and read the gap. I'll show you the exact commands and the real before/after numbers from running it on one of our own products.
Quick framing on terms: AEO (answer engine optimization) is just SEO's younger sibling for AI answers — getting cited inside the AI's response instead of ranking on a SERP. Some people call it GEO. Same field.
TL;DR — three commands
npm install -g aeo-platform
