Research-grounded articles

Research the web. Ground the draft. Score what you write.

Research-grounded articles are a prescribed, sourced, scored writing loop: we research the named gap; your agent or your team writes; we score extractability; citations in the draft must match retrieved or verified primary sources.

It unlocks with Dominate at $499/mo — four publish→social cycles per month. We research and score; your agent writes. We do not become your writing desk.

An article is grounded only when inline citations point at research-retrieved URLs or live-verified primary sources. Ungrounded “finished” saves are refused. Scoring is free and does not invent sources.

After you publish a live URL, we package a distribution kit. You post. Outcomes are joined later: cited N times on a tracked question, or honestly not yet cited.

Unlocks with Dominate at $499/mo (four cycles) and includes sector intelligence. Site Care and Monitor are included.

Case study: aeoforged.com Complete AEO Audit, 2026-05-11. Score lift is not a citation guarantee. Grounding gate refuses ungrounded finished saves.

What ships

Concrete artifacts in the client room — not a slogan.

  • A prescribed topic

    Picks come from measured demand — gap battlecards, sector open ground, corroborated Search Console — not a keyword brainstorm. Already-covered clusters are excluded.

  • Grounded research

    Entities, claims, and an allow-list of source URLs. Hallucinated citations are stripped. Statistical claims can be fact-checked against those sources.

  • A score loop

    Eight AEO dimensions, page-type aware. The bar on submit-for-review is 80 unless a human records an override. Score is feedback, not the reason to wreck the prose.

  • Publish then kit

    When the live URL exists, the cycle continues into a distribution kit. Posting is your task. Dominate includes four of these cycles per month; extras are a $99 article-kit add-on.

How it works

  1. 01

    We research the named gap and retrieve sources.

  2. 02

    We score the draft for extractability.

  3. 03

    Your agent or your team writes.

  4. 04

    After you publish a live URL, we package social kits — we package, you post.

Measured data

First-party: site score 8/100 → 81/100 in one sprint; homepage 87/100.

Documented across eight AEO dimensions. Entity coverage hit 15/15 across audited pages in that run. Citations in a draft must match research-retrieved or live-verified primary sources — hallucinated footnotes are stripped. We research and score; your agent or your team writes.

  • How AEOForged operates

What we measure

Grounding gate
Finished boundaries (submit-for-review, final saves, hosted write without research) refuse ungrounded markdown. Default saves of real copy warn loudly.
Extractability score
Direct answer, structure, schema opportunities, and the rest of the eight dimensions. We will not tell you to stack FAQ mirrors just to move a number.
After publish
The live URL is watched against the same engine checks as the citation board. Zero is an outcome.

What this is not

  • Not AEOForged writing your article. Your agent or your team writes.
  • Not a citation guarantee for the published URL.
  • Not ungrounded AI copy with decorative footnotes.
  • Not posting. We never take social credentials.

Teams that already have an agent in Cursor or Claude Code and want the research and score bar done properly — and researchers testing whether “AEO content” is grounded or generated.

How to test it

For buyers and researchers. Every step is something you can do without taking our word.

  1. 01

    Read How AEOForged operates — the public article was produced on this loop.

  2. 02

    Ask a vendor where citations in the draft are allowed to come from. If the answer is “the model,” walk away.

  3. 03

    Score a URL on the free AEO Score Checker, then compare the dimensions to the ones named here. Same instrument family.

  4. 04

    Dominate is $499/mo, month-to-month, or pay 12 months upfront (2 months free). An agent connected to AEOForge is required before researched articles start. Subscribe can happen first.

Measured AEO vs rebadged SEO

Ask any vendor — including us

Ask any AEO vendor these questions — including us. Measured AEO answers with instruments and dates. Rebadged SEO answers with keyword coverage and search rank.

  1. 01

    Show me a measured citation rate from real answer-engine checks — not search rank — and the engines you checked.

  2. 02

    Show me one verified before/after: a page re-scored against a pinned baseline, with a system-granted verified status.

  3. 03

    Which entity signals changed, and where is the live evidence they resolve?

  4. 04

    Do you record the checks where the brand was not cited?

  5. 05

    Who granted “done” — a person, a model, or a re-probe of the live page?

  6. 06

    Show me your run-to-run flip rate. If the tool will not publish variance next to the headline rate, the decimals are decoration.

What it looks like

Live page — not your site.

LAYER 04 · Content & distribution

Philosophy: write for gaps the board (or strategy) already named; ground the draft in retrieved research; score for publish-readiness; ship a canonical URL; package socials for clients to post. We do not take social logins and we do not promise reach.

In product terms (Grow/Dominate): gap-tied content picks → platform web research (citations limited to retrieved URLs) → client agent or human writes → score / improve loop → publish live URL → distribution kit (LinkedIn / X / newsletter checklists). House split: we research and score; your agent writes (unless a human editor owns the draft). We package; you post. Scores are feedback, not a promise engines will cite the page.

Questions we get

Who writes the article?
Your agent or your team. We prescribe the topic, run grounded research, and score. That split is the product.
What if we do not have an agent yet?
You can subscribe. Researched-article start waits until an agent is connected to AEOForge. Strong reasoning is recommended. Codebase access is optional unless you want the agent editing the live site.
Do you guarantee the piece will be cited?
No. We measure whether the published URL later appears in engine answers for tracked questions, including when it does not.
