The answer engine optimization tool for owning the answer
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of making your brand the answer AI assistants give when buyers ask a question. Classic SEO competes for a click on a results page; AEO competes for the recommendation inside the answer itself. Citlyze measures who wins that answer, prompt by prompt.

See who answer engines recommend, and who they skip
Every buyer question has a winner. Citlyze tracks your prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and Google's AI surfaces, and shows which brands make the recommendation, in what order, and with what sentiment.
- Answer position and sentiment per prompt
- Share of Voice against named competitors
- Weekly checks on Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
Become the source answer engines quote
Answer engines assemble answers from a small set of trusted sources. Citlyze shows which domains those are for your prompts, how often your pages are quoted, and which third-party sources are worth pitching so the next answer includes you.
- Owned vs competitor citation share
- Review sites, forums, and guides that shape answers
- Source gaps ranked by prompt value
AEO and SEO are one roadmap, measured separately
You do not need a second team, you need a second scoreboard. Keep ranking pages for search; Citlyze adds the answer-side view, so you can see which optimizations moved citations and mentions, not just clicks, and report both together.
- Citations and clicks, side by side
- Evidence for every optimization shipped
- Fits beside your existing SERP rank tracker
Close the gaps that keep you out of answers
Citlyze turns missed answers into ranked recommendations: pages to update, sources to pitch, and questions your site never addresses. Content briefs carry the prompt, the winning sources, and the angle, so writers start from evidence.
- Recommendations ranked by lost visibility
- Briefs built from the sources engines cite
- GEO audits confirm AI crawlers can read the fix
