Why I built Beacon — and what AEO actually means

Building Beacon because I kept seeing SEO tools that had no idea AI search engines existed.

AEO Answer Engine Optimization - is optimizing your content to be cited by AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Traditional SEO gets you on page 1. AEO gets you quoted as the answer.

Beacon - Audit your content for Google SEO and AI engine citations

Most SEO tools were built before AI engines existed. They tell you if your title tag is present — not whether ChatGPT would cite you. Beacon scores your content on both: traditional Google ranking signals and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — how likely Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews are to cite you. Seven modes: full audit, content brief, schema generator, FAQ generator, AI-citation rewrite, competitor analysis, and App Store Optimization. 3 free analyses on signup.
