Welcome to MaxAEO

Search behavior is shifting. Instead of scanning ten blue links, more and more people simply ask an AI: “What’s the best CRM for a small team?” or “Is brand X worth buying?” On ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity, the answer the AI generates is often the entire research a buyer does — whether your brand appears in that answer, or a competitor takes your spot, is the new competitive battleground.

The discipline of winning that battleground is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): getting AI engines to mention your brand more often, earlier in the answer, and in a more positive light.

MaxAEO does two things for you: it continuously monitors how your brand actually performs in AI answers across platforms, and it guides your optimization — showing you where the gaps are, which sources shape what AI says, and what content to publish next.

What MaxAEO can answer

• Does AI mention my brand? The Dashboard and Mentions pages show what share of monitored AI answers include your brand (Mention Rate) and, when you are mentioned, where you land on average among the recommendations (Avg Position).
• What does AI say about me? Sentiment analysis classifies the tone of every AI answer — positive recommendation, neutral description, or negative warning — and the AI Understanding view surfaces information gaps where AI statements contradict your brand’s real facts.
• How do competitors compare? Competitive Rank shows where your Mention Rate stands among all monitored brands, and Brand Compare puts you and your competitors on the same trend chart, platform heatmap, and influence bubble chart.
• Which sources influence AI? Citations analysis reveals which websites and articles AI engines cite when composing answers — these sources are exactly where GEO efforts pay off.
• What should I do about it? Optimization (BETA) generates a weekly, priority-ranked list of content actions from your monitoring data, each with a ready-to-publish AI-drafted article; Search Prompts helps you mine additional prompts worth monitoring, starting from your website.

How it works

MaxAEO runs a three-step monitoring loop:

1. Configure your brand and monitoring prompts. In your project, you define the brand profile (name, website, name and domain variants), a competitor list, and a set of monitoring prompts — the questions real users would ask an AI, such as “What’s the best project management tool for startups?”.
2. Run daily monitoring across AI platforms. Every day, MaxAEO submits those prompts to the AI platforms you selected (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity) and records each answer in full, including the sources it cites.
3. Analyze mentions, sentiment, and citations. The system extracts brand and competitor mentions, positions, sentiment, and cited sources from every answer, and aggregates them into the Dashboard, Mentions, Brand Compare, Sentiment, and Citations views.

AI answers naturally fluctuate

Ask an AI the same question twice and you may get two different answers — the brands mentioned, their order, and the wording all vary. This is inherent to large language models, not a monitoring error. That’s why a single monitoring run tells you little on its own; MaxAEO’s value comes from daily, continuous monitoring that reveals trends. A Mention Rate climbing steadily from 20% to 35% says far more than any single day’s number.

One more mental model worth internalizing: any change you make in Products — brand profile, competitors, prompts, or platforms — takes effect on the next monitoring run. It never rewrites historical data.
