What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO is the practice of optimizing content so it appears in AI-generated answers. This includes adding FAQ schema, HowTo schema, Speakable markup, clear heading hierarchy, and concise factual statements that AI can extract and cite.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO optimizes content for citation by generative AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Key signals include quotable claims, entity coverage, statistics with attributions, topical authority through comprehensive coverage, and structured data.

How does XeoRank test AI citations?

XeoRank sends buyer-intent prompts to ChatGPT and Google (AI Overview) with live web grounding, then checks if each engine mentions or recommends your brand. You get a citation rate percentage and per-engine breakdown.

What is the XeoRank CLI?

The XeoRank CLI (@xyleapp/cli) is a terminal tool for developers. Install with npm install -g @xyleapp/cli, then run commands like xyle analyze, xyle queries, xyle search-console overview, and xyle seed to integrate SEO, AEO & GEO data into your workflow and AI coding agents.

How do I use XeoRank in Claude or Codex (MCP)?

Add XeoRank's MCP server at https://mcp.xyle.app/mcp to your AI client. The desktop apps work as-is — no code or CLI edition needed. Claude connects straight through OAuth (just paste the URL, no API key); Codex uses a personal API key (Authorization: Bearer xyle_...). You then get XeoRank's tools — SEO/AEO/GEO analysis, AI visibility, and WordPress editing — right inside your assistant.

What is vibe coding with XeoRank?

Vibe coding with XeoRank means seeding your AI coding agent with full SEO, AEO, and GEO context using `xyle seed`. It works with 9 AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Codex, Aider, and Augment. Your agent gets 30+ CLI commands, 10 strategic workflows, and dynamic best practices from the XeoRank API.

Every SEO tool tells you what's broken. XeoRank fixes it.

XeoRank audits your sites for Google and AI engines like ChatGPT, writes the fixes, and publishes them once you approve. Every client, one workspace.
