AE Competitive Intelligence Report

Traditional search optimization still drives most web traffic. There are roughly 14 billion Google searches every day compared with 37.5 million ChatGPT prompts.

Your existing SEO investment isn’t wasted (it remains the breadwinner), but search is evolving.

Consumers increasingly expect AI assistants to deliver a single, definitive answer. Over 400 million people use ChatGPT every week, and AI Overviews appear in 16% of all Google desktop searches in the U.S. One in ten Americans now turns to generative AI first when looking for information. If your business isn’t cited in AI results, potential customers may never hear about you.

AEO is the practice of optimizing your content and brand to be cited in AI‑generated responses, whether on ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overview or Perplexity.

Unlike SEO, which aims to rank pages in search results, AEO prioritizes discoverability within AI answers, many of which don’t include clickable links.

The more your brand is mentioned across reputable, topic‑relevant sites, the more likely it is to be “the next word” in an AI response.

Winning mentions, even without links, increase the probability of being cited.

AEO isn’t a replacement for SEO; it’s the next chapter.

Smart companies that track LLM visibility are already seeing month‑over‑month growth in traffic from AI platforms.

As a local business, word of mouth and reputation have always been critical. AI answers simply scale that dynamic. When a customer asks, “Who is the best [service] in [city]?” these systems synthesize information from across the web and mention a handful of businesses. If your business isn’t among them, you’re invisible.

With your existing SEO foundation, you’re already ahead. Many AEO tactics overlap with SEO fundamentals like crawlability, high‑quality content and brand mentions. However, AI platforms interpret content differently and often look beyond your website to verify your expertise. That’s where our AE Competitive Intelligence Report comes in.

We ran a report for a client, and that is what he actually said: “Mind Blown.“

Another client said: “Oh my god, I can see exactly what people are typing into Chat… and Chat is mentioning my competitors but not me. Wow.“

The insights and intelligence are game-changing and will affect your website, content strategies, and digital marketing efforts.

Internet marketing has just taken a 180.
