01 / QUERY TESTING
Start with a consistent sample.
Define buyer questions and capture each response, context, and cited URL. Keep branded and unbranded queries separate.
AEO / GEO AUDIT SYSTEM
Turn AI visibility into
a structured client deliverable.
A repeatable methodology for assessing what AI-search systems can access, understand, and cite—with a scoring sheet and report to make the findings usable.

FIVE WEIGHTED SECTIONS
A diagnostic framework.
Evidence behind every score.
The 0–100 score summarizes your audit rubric. The A–F grade gives the client a simple reference point. Neither is a ranking prediction.
The 82 / 100 score is illustrative. These are StemsStack methodology weights, not weights published by search or AI providers.
THE METHODOLOGY
Make the scoring inspectable.
| Section | Weight | What you assess |
|---|---|---|
| Citation presence | 35% | Brand citations in the recorded query set |
| Answer-shaped content | 20% | Clear answers supported by useful evidence |
| AI crawler access | 15% | Public pages accessible to selected search crawlers |
| Structured data & entities | 15% | Consistent organization and page information |
| Source footprint | 15% | Relevant, independent sources referencing the brand |

From the question to the recommendation.
02 / CSV SCORING
Keep observations traceable.
Log evidence in a structured scoring sheet. Distinguish unavailable data from verified absence.
03 / REPORTING
Make the next step clear.
Use the audit methodology and client report template to connect prioritized findings to implementation work.
SEO, WITH ANOTHER QUESTION
Can buyers find you?
Can answers cite you?
Traditional SEO asks whether search systems can find and rank a page. An AI-search audit also observes whether answer systems understand the brand and cite relevant information.
AEO means Answer Engine Optimization. GEO means Generative Engine Optimization. Both need careful scope and evidence.
