We all love reading the "#1 Product of the Day" success stories. They are inspiring, but they often suffer from survivor bias.
Sometimes, the most brutal failures offer the best blueprints.
The day before Publora s incredible #1 launch, we launched our own product, AEO Table. Our modest target was 50+ upvotes. We ended up with 9 upvotes and 2 comments. To make it sting more, most of those 9 upvotes came from our own team.
No secondhand theories here. Here is the exact post-mortem of how we screwed up, so you don't have to.
Hey Product Hunt!
We built AEO Table because we were tired of guessing whether our content was being cited by AI search engines.
Traditional SEO tools tell you about Google rankings โ but who tells you about ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews?
With AEO Table you can:
1. ๐ Scan your domain and see your AI visibility score instantly
2. ๐ Track competitor AI citations โ who's getting cited and why
3. ๐ Get optimization playbooks โ what to create to rank in AI answers
4. ๐ Monitor growth โ watch your AI citation count climb
We're offering a special 30% discount for the PH community .
We'd LOVE your feedback on the visibility dashboard.
What would make this a daily tool for your team?

Any case studies? I'd love to see an example of a brand that improved their AI citations using AEO Table.
@jiayang_zhang1ย Great question! We are currently putting together detailed, long-term case studies, but weโve already seen some exciting early results.
For example, we noticed a brand that was completely invisible in Perplexity for their core keywords because their pricing page structure confused the LLM. By using our Optimization Playbook, they updated their schema and content layoutโand within days, they started appearing as a top citation in AI answers.
As someone whoโs always messing with AIGC prompts, this hits close to home. Itโs wild to finally see exactly where and how AI picks up on content/brands.
Thanks@weining_liao
That's exactly the feeling we had when building this โ we kept prompting ChatGPT with the same questions over and over, trying to figure out WHY some brands showed up and others didn't. The 'aha moment' for us was realizing that AI citation patterns are actually trackable (and optimizable), not just random.
