Proving AEO works means showing that your brand is named more often in AI answers than it was, and pointing at the specific pages and placements that caused the change.
AEO budget gets approved on a hunch and reviewed on evidence. Somewhere around month three, someone senior asks whether it is working, and "we feel more visible" is not an answer that survives that meeting.
The honest difficulty is that AI answers leave no rank report and no click data. Without tracking from day one there is no before to compare against, which is why this gets uncomfortable fast.
Track your prompts daily from the start. The baseline is the asset; you cannot reconstruct it later, and a month of history is worth more than any single report.
Visibility across the same prompts over time, per engine and per country, so a single good day cannot be mistaken for progress.
Citation Impact ranks the individual pages carrying your presence, so the story becomes "this page moved these prompts" rather than a number with no explanation.
The summary scorecard emails to whoever needs it, so leadership reads it without a seat and you stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet.
Who it's for. Whoever owns the AEO budget and has to defend it to someone who does not use the product.
This job leans on these parts of the platform.
A leadership scorecard you can email, and alerts when something actually changes.
The handful of pages carrying your presence in AI answers, so effort goes where it counts.
See whether AI answers name your brand, every day, across six engines and seven countries.
You can show a baseline immediately and movement once there is enough history to separate signal from daily noise. Start tracking before the work, not after: the baseline is the part you cannot recreate.
How often your brand is named across your tracked prompts, ideally alongside competitor share of voice. A visibility number on its own is hard to judge.
Yes. The summary scorecard is emailed to any recipients you name.
You can show which pages are cited for which prompts and rank them by the presence they carry. That is strong evidence, though AI answers do not expose attribution the way a click does, so treat it as evidence rather than proof.
