Common questions.
Is AEO different from SEO?
It builds on SEO. The difference is that AI answers quote a handful of sources, so being one of them matters more than ranking tenth.
Does this check live AI results?
No. It suggests questions and source types from the description. Live checks of who AI search cites are part of gtm.help.
Does this cost anything?
No. It's free, no account needed, and you can run it as many times as you like.
