A free scan gives you a useful baseline. Paid monitoring is for teams that need to see what changes, when it changes, and whether their AEO work is improving visibility across the answer layer.
Why not just use free AEO tools?
Free tools are useful for a one-time baseline, but they do not show whether your visibility is changing week to week. AEO monitoring adds recurring scans across your tracked prompts, historical AIS scores, citation alerts, email digests, and reports, so you can connect content changes to movement in AI answers. Start with a free scan, then pay when an ongoing record is worth more than another manual check.
How is AEO monitoring different from SEO?
SEO measures how pages rank in traditional search results; AEO monitoring measures whether AI engines mention, recommend, cite, and accurately describe your brand in generated answers. SEO data can tell you which keywords and pages win clicks, but it cannot tell you what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini says about you. AEO complements SEO by creating a recurring visibility record for the answer layer.
What AI engines do you track?
AISearchStackHub currently tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, covering the four engines in the free scan and paid monitoring workflow. We run consistent prompts across each engine and record brand mentions, positions, recommendations, and citations so you can compare visibility by engine and follow the trend over time. Results can differ because each engine has its own retrieval and response behavior.
How quickly will I see results from AEO work?
There is no fixed promise because results depend on the engine, query, and type of change. Live retrieval systems can reflect strong new pages in days to weeks, while changes that depend on model training data may take 3–6 months or longer as new model versions propagate. Monitoring separates these timelines by showing when your visibility and citations actually move instead of relying on guesswork.
Can I cancel the paid monitoring plan anytime?
Yes. Paid monitoring is month to month with no annual contract, so you can cancel anytime before your next renewal. Your plan remains available through the current billing period, and you can keep the visibility history you collected while subscribed. That makes it practical to monitor through a campaign, content launch, or reporting cycle without committing to a long-term contract.
