Frequently Asked Questions
What is SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on improving rankings in traditional search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on appearing in featured snippets and AI-generated answers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on making your content citable by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE.
How does SAG analyze content?
You paste a URL or text. We extract key content signals (headings, schema, meta tags, body text) and run an AI-powered analysis across 16 metrics spanning SEO, AEO, and GEO. You get an overall score, per-dimension scores, a prioritized action plan, and AI optimization suggestions.
What makes SAG different from other SEO tools?
Most SEO tools only analyze traditional ranking factors. SAG adds AEO and GEO analysis — evaluating how your content performs not just for search crawlers, but also for answer engines and generative AI platforms.
Is SAG free to use?
Yes. Free accounts get 5 analyses in total so you can see what the reports look like, and the visibility check stays free and unlimited. Pro at $59/month unlocks unlimited analyses plus AI optimization suggestions, one-click fix code, competitor benchmarking, weekly monitoring with AI brand visibility, the Content Studio, and API access.
How can I improve my content's AEO and GEO scores?
For AEO: add structured data (JSON-LD), use clear question-and-answer formatting, and directly answer common queries. For GEO: demonstrate expertise (E-E-A-T), cite authoritative sources, increase content depth, and cover topics comprehensively. The action plan in each report gives you specific steps.
How do I increase my content's chances of being cited by ChatGPT or Perplexity?
AI platforms prioritize content with strong authority signals (expert authorship, original data, cited sources), comprehensive topic coverage, and clear factual statements. Use specific numbers, define frameworks, and structure content so key claims are easily extractable. GEO analysis in SAG measures exactly these factors.
What is the difference between a Featured Snippet and an AI-generated answer?
A Featured Snippet is a highlighted excerpt from a webpage shown at the top of Google search results — it links back to your page. An AI-generated answer (from ChatGPT, Google SGE, Perplexity) synthesizes information from multiple sources and may or may not cite your content. AEO optimizes for snippets; GEO optimizes for AI citations.
How long does it take to see results from GEO optimization?
GEO improvements take effect as AI platforms re-crawl and re-index your content, which can range from days to weeks depending on the platform. Unlike traditional SEO which follows predictable crawl schedules, AI citation patterns depend on content authority, freshness, and topical relevance. Regular monitoring with SAG helps track your progress across all three dimensions.
Does SAG monitor my site continuously?
Yes. Pro users can monitor up to 5 URLs. Every week we automatically re-analyze each page, track score trends, detect dead links, and check whether AI models genuinely recognize your brand — so you can see progress, catch regressions, and track AI visibility over time.
Can SAG generate content, not just analyze it?
Yes. The Content Studio batch-generates up to 5 pieces at a time across four formats: SEO articles, brand FAQs phrased the way users ask AI assistants, entity explainer pages, and short AI-citable answers. Everything is grounded in the facts you provide — details it cannot verify are left as fill-in placeholders for you to complete before publishing.
