Discover how your brand performs across answer engines and uncover opportunities to improve your AI visibility.
“The team at Cognizo has been a true partner. Their platform delivers meaningful insights, and they go above and beyond to pair the technology with hands-on guidance to help us get maximum value from their solution.”
AEO is a digital marketing strategy focused on optimizing content so that AI‑powered answer engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Perplexity, etc.) can directly surface it as concise, authoritative responses rather than merely showing links in traditional search results. The main purpose of AEO is to get mentioned and cited in AI answers when potential buyers are looking for solutions.
Why is AEO important now?
With increasing reliance on generative AI chatbots for information, AEO shifts optimization from click-driven SEO to being featured directly in AI-generated answers. High-intent buyers are replacing traditional search with AI for product discovery. With rising organic traffic declines and 60%+ zero-click searches, companies risk becoming invisible if they don’t adapt.
What is the difference between Cognizo Platform and Done-for-You?
Cognizo Platform is an all-in-one AI visibility solution for marketing teams that want to stay in control and have a hands-on approach to executing their AI search strategy. Cognizo Done-for-You uses the same system but executes the work autonomously, used by companies without a dedicated marketing team or whose team is already at capacity.
How does Cognizo measure AI visibility?
We run prompts on each AI platform continuously to collect millions of responses daily, tracking where and how your brand appears in AI-generated answers, analyzing citations, sentiment and rankings.
How does Cognizo generate leads from AI search?
Cognizo identifies the questions your buyers ask AI platforms, creates and publishes content that answers them, fixes the structural issues that keep AI engines from citing you, and constantly improves pages to build authority signals and generate the maximum number of leads over time.
Which AI platforms can I track?
You can track a wide range of leading AI platforms and generative engines with Cognizo, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Claude, Meta AI, Grok and more. We continuously update our platform coverage, ensuring you always have visibility into the most relevant and impactful AI search channels.
How fast can I see results?
On average, we target 2 months to realize substantial increases in visibility. The timing differs for each customer based on industry competitiveness and resource allocation. In contrast to SEO, AEO doesn’t take 6 months to see results. Most customers see upticks within the first month of using Cognizo.
What does onboarding look like?
Instant. You’ll have a premade prompt set to start with and we’ll kick off the analysis immediately. Your customer success partner will set up an onboarding call to ensure you have a robust AI search strategy and all your questions are answered.
Can I customize the prompts?
Absolutely. Our prompt generation engine will give you endless suggestions and you can edit, disable, or add your own any time. You can also provide topics and keywords to customize your suggestions to tailor it to your marketing strategy.
