Frequently asked questions

AEO is optimizing your content so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — retrieve and cite it. Where SEO targets blue links, AEO targets being the source an AI quotes.

No — and no tool honestly can. AI answer engines are third-party systems that behave non-deterministically; single-run “AI rank positions” are close to random, which is why we don’t sell them. What Seeklyn does guarantee: every score shows the evidence behind it, applying a suggested fix never lowers a comparable score, and weekly re-checks tell you honestly whether citations actually changed.

Those score pages against legacy search signals and never tell you whether AI engines cite you. Seeklyn simulates how AI retrievers read your passages, tracks real citations, and rewrites the passages that fail — closing the loop they leave open.

Seeklyn tracks the actual AI answers and the actual citations, in real time, across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and more, including Gemini and Claude. The Engines & Models page in the dashboard lists every engine your prompts run on. Passage citability analysis is engine-agnostic: it models how any retrieval-based AI engine reads content.

It is the dashboard, grouped by the job you are doing: Observe (what AI actually said), Measure (how often it names or links you, by engine and market), Compete (why rivals appear instead), Diagnose (what to change) and Impact (did it move traffic). Every number shows its raw count and opens the prompt, the AI answer and the cited URL behind it.

No — deliberately. There is no proprietary 0–100 AI score anywhere in the suite. You get plain rates with their raw counts (“mentioned in 41 of 120 answers”), the formula one click away, and every number opens the answers behind it. Third-party numbers are labelled simulated until an integration is connected.

Yes — the headline analyzer, core passage analysis and every AI Search Intelligence page are free to use. Weekly tracking, history, and white-label reports are part of the paid loop.

Seeklyn offers a free "Am I cited?" check that looks at live answer-engine results and shows whether your domain appears as a cited source, with no signup or credit card required. Weekly automated tracking, history, and email alerts when citations change are part of the paid plan.

Seeklyn is a free-to-start, sub-$30-per-month option built specifically for AI search. It analyzes how AI retrievers read your content, grades passage citability, and tracks citations weekly. Comparable AI-visibility platforms cost $29–$499+ per month, and most content optimizers in the $15–$129 range don't check AI citations at all.

An AEO (answer engine optimization) or GEO (generative engine optimization) tool helps content get retrieved and cited by AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Seeklyn's free tier includes a headline analyzer and passage citability analysis; paid features add weekly citation tracking, history, and white-label reports.

Structure pages into self-contained, evidence-backed passages that directly answer specific questions, cover the sub-questions AI engines fan out to, and lead each section with a clear, quotable answer. Then measure it: run a citability analysis, fix the weakest passages, and track whether citations actually appear. Seeklyn automates that loop.

SEO optimizes pages to rank as links in search results. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) are near-synonyms for optimizing content so AI engines retrieve, quote, and cite it — adding passage-level structure, direct answers, and citation tracking on top of SEO fundamentals.

The headline analyzer and core passage analysis are free with no signup. The paid plan — weekly "Am I cited?" tracking, project history, email alerts, and white-label PDF reports — costs under $30 per month, deliberately priced below most AI-visibility trackers and content-optimization suites.

Free covers analysis: the headline analyzer, passage citability grading, and a one-off citation check — no signup. Pro adds everything recurring: weekly “Am I cited?” tracking, project history, email alerts when citations change, and white-label PDF reports, for under $30 a month.

For AI search, Seeklyn is a free starting point: it scores your headlines, grades whether your content is citable by AI answer engines, and runs a one-off citation check — no signup or card. Startups can validate their content’s AI visibility before spending on any paid marketing stack.

Seeklyn is built for small budgets: a free tier for analysis and one paid plan under $30 a month for weekly citation tracking, history, alerts, and white-label reports. There are no seats, usage tiers, or sales calls — solo founders and small teams pay one flat, low price.

Answer engine optimization tools do this. Seeklyn analyzes how AI retrievers read your passages, grades each for citability with an auditable rubric, maps the sub-questions engines ask, and tracks whether AI answers cite you — the actual answers and citations from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and more — then guides the fixes.

The scoring engine is deterministic, so analysis and rewrite guidance cost almost nothing to run — and Seeklyn is built lean, with no enterprise sales team to fund. Comparable trackers start around $29 and climb past $499 monthly. The full loop staying under $30 is the whole point.

Yes — and most people should. Keyword tools and content editors still earn rankings; Seeklyn covers what they don’t: whether AI engines retrieve and cite your passages. Keep your SEO stack for links and add Seeklyn for citations. Nothing has to be migrated or replaced to start.

Yes. Pro includes white-label PDF citation reports today — your branding, your client’s domain, and the citation history and passage diagnosis inside. Project history keeps each client’s tracking separate. A dedicated multi-project Agency tier is on the roadmap; tell us what yours needs via the contact page.

Both, with the weight on content and AI answers. The headline analyzer scores classic SEO signals: CTR, SERP preview, Google title-rewrite risk, readability. The passage engine and the AI Search Intelligence suite add AEO: retrieval simulation, AI answers, citations and competitors. Site Health runs a light crawl (crawl issues, AI-crawler access, Core Web Vitals) and Search Performance shows where your tracked prompts rank on Google. What Seeklyn is not is a full technical-SEO suite: no keyword research, no full-site crawls, and backlink data is simulated until a backlink provider is connected.

It improves the on-page factors you control: titles scored for CTR and rewrite risk, a SERP preview, readability grading, and passage structure built on BM25 — the retrieval math classic search ranking grew from. Search Performance shows where your tracked prompts rank on Google; it won’t do keyword research or audit your backlink profile, so pair it with a dedicated SEO platform if you need those. No tool can guarantee a ranking.

For the writing layer, Seeklyn’s free tier is a strong start: a headline analyzer with dual CTR and AEO scores, a SERP preview, sentiment and readability checks, plus passage-level citability analysis — no signup or card required. For keyword research or a backlink index, you’ll still want a dedicated SEO platform.

Not for content optimization. The same qualities — clear titles, self-contained passages, concrete evidence — win both Google SERPs and AI citations, and Seeklyn scores them in one pass using shared retrieval math. Site Health covers the AI-crawler and technical basics on a light crawl, but full-site crawls, backlink indexes and keyword research still belong to dedicated SEO tools.

Yes — Seeklyn analyzes any public page, including product pages, collections, and buying guides. Score them for AI citability, check whether shopping-style queries (“best X for Y”) cite your store, and track it weekly. No app install needed — it works from your page URLs.

Yes. Pro includes white-label PDF citation reports under your own branding, a project per client with weekly tracking and email alerts when citations change, and team seats for shared workspaces — all under $30 a month.

That’s exactly who it’s built for. Every number comes with a plain-language explanation, and the Opportunities page ranks what to fix first, each item linked to its proof. Start with the free headline check: paste a title, read the fixes — no signup, no jargon required.

Seeklyn is an AI search intelligence and answer engine optimization (AEO) tool. It shows what AI answer engines say about your brand, how often they mention and cite you, and which competitors appear instead — every number traced to the AI answer and cited URL behind it — then grades your passages for citability and helps you fix the ones that fail.

Yes. The headline analyzer, core passage citability analysis, and every AI Search Intelligence page (on sample data) are free to use with no signup and no credit card. The paid Pro plan adds weekly "Am I cited?" tracking, project history, email alerts, and white-label PDF reports for under $30 a month.
