AI search optimization (GEO + AEO)

Get cited by ChatGPT, not just ranked by Google.

People now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity instead of searching. The answer names a few businesses. If yours is missing, you never knew you lost.

VuloPilot checks whether AI can reach, understand and quote your site, then ranks the fixes.

Google ranks pages. AI quotes them.

To be in an AI answer, your site must clear three hurdles: AI has to reach it, understand it and trust it. Miss one and you are left out.

Honest about the odds

No tool can promise a citation. This improves what you control.

Built on what you have

Most fixes are clearer writing on existing pages.

No AI account needed

Scans run in WordPress. Engine tests use credits.

Step 1 · Reach

One wrong line locks out every AI crawler.

GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read your pages so AI can use them. One leftover robots.txt rule turns them all away, silently.

VuloPilot shows every AI crawler visit. If they drop to zero, you know why.

Try it: make the common mistake and watch the visits disappear.

Your llms.txt, the reading list for AI, is editable from the same screen.

Step 2 · Understand

GEO: six checks for content AI can use.

Generative engine optimization means writing so AI can lift one clear paragraph, know who it is about and trust it is current. VuloPilot scores every page on six signals.

Try it: tick off the checks and watch the score climb.

VuloPilot checks all six on every page and shows a “Fix these first” card for the weakest.

Step 3 · Pick

AEO and brand trust: become the answer.

Answer engine optimization makes your words the ones AI picks. Brand scores show whether you look trustworthy enough to cite.

Questions you might have

Still have a question?

GEO (generative engine optimization) makes content easy for AI to use. AEO (answer engine optimization) makes it the answer to a specific question. VuloPilot checks both.

Let AI crawlers in, put a clear answer near the top of each page, and make your business details consistent. No tool can guarantee a citation; VuloPilot improves the signals you control.

A plain text file that points AI tools to your most important pages, like a reading list. Edit yours from the VuloPilot dashboard.

No. The checks run inside WordPress. Testing pages against AI engines uses credits via VuloCloud; the free plan includes 100.

Yes. GEO and AEO checks, engine testing, brand scores, AI crawler traffic, llms.txt and schema coverage are free. Paid plans add citation coverage, crawler alerts and deeper brand findings.
