Live AEO Audit: Multi-Model Deep Analysis
The Live AEO Audit is Citadex's most powerful diagnostic tool. Unlike Content Scoring which focuses on structural signals, the Live AEO Audit actually queries multiple AI models in real time and synthesizes their responses into a comprehensive strategic brief.
What the Live AEO Audit Does
- Queries ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity with a structured set of prompts about your brand
- Collects and analyzes all responses
- Synthesizes findings into a 5-section structured report
This gives you a ground-truth view of how the most important AI engines currently understand and represent your brand.
The 5-Section Audit Report
Section 1: Brand Entity Understanding — How does each AI platform currently describe your brand? What facts does it cite? What does it get wrong or omit? Reveals accuracy, consistency, and common gaps.
Section 2: Category Positioning — Where do AI models place you in the competitive landscape? Your perceived market position, competitors you're grouped with, and category ownership strength.
Section 3: Content Coverage Assessment — Which topics and use cases does AI currently attribute to your brand? Which ones are absent despite you covering them? Identifies your AI content gaps.
Section 4: Trust and Authority Signals — How does AI assess the reliability and authority of your brand? Sources cited, authority associations, review platform presence.
Section 5: Strategic Recommendations — Based on all findings, the most impactful AEO actions organized by: Priority level (Critical → High → Medium) and Effort estimate (Quick Win → Long Term).
How to Use Audit Results
Immediately after an audit:
- Screenshot all 5 sections for your records
- Identify the top 3 critical actions from Section 5
- Log those as tasks in your project management system
Monthly cadence: Re-run the audit monthly to track how AI model understanding of your brand is evolving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Live AEO Audit different from Visibility checks?
Visibility checks are quantitative — they measure mention rate and position with trackable metrics. The Live AEO Audit is qualitative — it provides a rich narrative assessment of how AI models actually understand and describe your brand.
Q: How often should I run a Live AEO Audit?
Monthly for most brands. More frequently (weekly) if you've recently made significant website changes, launched new products, or experienced a reputation event.
