Common questions about AI search.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It helps AI tools understand your business and include it in their answers. We clarify business details, write useful content, add structured data, and keep your brand information consistent across the web. AEO builds on SEO, which helps people find you in search.
Are AEO and GEO the same thing?
AEO means Answer Engine Optimization, and GEO means Generative Engine Optimization. Both describe work that helps brands appear in AI answers. The terms overlap, so we use AI search unless the distinction matters.
How does AEO differ from SEO?
SEO helps your pages appear in search results. AEO helps AI tools mention your brand or cite your pages in answers. Both need useful, trustworthy content. AEO adds structured data, consistent business details across sites, and answers that AI can use. We test repeatedly because results can change from one run to the next.
How does AI choose which brands to name?
In our tests, AI mentions brands with clear business details backed by several sources. Your name, location, and services should match across sites, and your pages should answer buyers' questions. AI tools draw on live search, stored results, and other sources. Their weight can change with the question, and we cannot see the exact mix.
What should my site get right?
Start with clear answers, current facts, and consistent business details across the web. Use valid JSON-LD structured data for your business, services, FAQs, and page links. Check bot access in robots.txt and keep profiles such as Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and Wikipedia accurate. Our 16 checks cover the parts on your own site.
Do llms.txt files help?
We do not know for sure. These files give AI a plain-text copy of site facts. Google says it does not use llms.txt. We have seen signs that some other bots read these files. They cost little to add, so we keep them as an extra way to read the site. Clear web pages and real content still matter most.
Which AI tools do you track?
We focus on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot, and also track Grok, Meta AI, and DeepSeek. We review sources they may use: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Google Business Profile, news, and reviews. Each AI tool works differently, so we look for improvements that help across them.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We track both site traffic and AI answers. Server logs show visits from AI bots and people who follow AI links. Scheduled checks record whether each AI tool mentions your brand, cites your site, or leaves you out, along with the competitors it names. Repeated runs help us find trends.
Is AEO just adding schema to my site?
No. Schema markup is one part of AEO. You also need good SEO, useful content, bot access, and independent sources that support your claims. Valid markup alone will not make a thin page worth citing.
Can we use Canonry for our clients?
Yes. Canonry Embedded puts each client's AI visibility report in your portal. Canonry Custom tracks each market under one client domain, with separate questions, pages, competitors, and results in one shared view. Managed provides the full AEO service under your agency's brand.
Can our own marketing team use Canonry?
Yes. Canonry Managed handles AEO for your team. Canonry Custom tracks each market under one domain, keeping local questions, pages, competitors, and results separate within a shared view. Your team can also run the open-source Canonry platform on its own server.
Can you work with our SEO agency?
Yes. We can measure results while your agency makes changes, or handle work outside its scope, such as technical fixes, business details, and AI answer tracking. Your agency can also hire us to deliver AEO under its brand.
Does Canonry support ChatGPT Ads?
Yes. Canonry Ads is in private beta for agencies and individual advertisers. It shows buyer questions, competing brands, and ideas for paid tests. You keep control of strategy, approvals, and ad accounts. Request access on the Canonry Ads page.
Which Canonry product should I use?
Embedded adds client AI visibility reports to your portal. Custom tracks each market under one domain, with local questions, pages, competitors, and results in a shared view. Managed delivers AEO for businesses, marketing teams, or agencies under their own brand. Ads is a private beta for reviewing ChatGPT Ads test ideas.
What does the name Canonry mean?
The name comes from "canon," a set of facts people trust. We help brands show up in AI answers. The word canonry also has an old church meaning: the post held by a cathedral canon. That meaning is not part of our company.
How long until I see results?
It depends on your site, market, and competitors. AI answers can shift as models and search sources change. We cannot promise a set date. We first check where you stand. Then we track each AI tool over time.
What does AEO cost?
The site check is free within fair-use limits. Embedded has a price per client. We help you get started and give you an estimate based on your client count. Prices for Custom, Managed, and the full AI Visibility Report depend on the work you need.
