The proof
Does a higher AEO score mean more AI citations?
We measure it directly. Every number on this page comes from real answer-engine observations recorded in our evidence ledger — not from search rankings, and not from invented case studies.
Early / directional — no published rate yet
We are still gathering measured citation observations across enough assets and niches to publish a defensible rate. We deliberately do not show a headline percentage until the sample clears our gate (20+ measured assets across 2+ niches). When it does, the score-vs-citation correlation will appear here, frozen at publish time.
How we keep this honest
- Measured, not proxy: observations are direct answer-engine checks (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot), including negative "not cited" results — never a Brave-search rank proxy.
- Gated: we only headline a rate once the sample clears at least 20 measured assets spread across 2+ niches. Below that we show a directional state with no headline percentage.
- Reproducible: the underlying aggregation is rebuildable from our evidence ledger with
