Introduction

AnswerixAI is a cloud platform for AI search visibility, answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO). It tracks how AI answer engines mention, cite and rank your brand when people ask them questions, compares you with your competitors, and turns the gaps into content work. These docs are for marketing, SEO and content teams who use the AnswerixAI dashboard.

What is AnswerixAI?#

AnswerixAI sends the questions your customers ask (called prompts) to AI answer engines once a day and records every answer. For each answer, AnswerixAI detects whether your brand is mentioned, whether your website is cited as a source, where you are named relative to your competitors, and the sentiment of the answer. The results roll up into a 0–100 Visibility score and reports you can filter by date, topic, platform and region.

Which AI engines does AnswerixAI track?#

The AI engines AnswerixAI tracks depend on your plan. Starter tracks ChatGPT and Perplexity; Growth and Business track seven engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, and Grok (currently paused). Enterprise adds Claude on request.

What can you do with AnswerixAI?#

With AnswerixAI you can measure your AI visibility, track prompts and topics, analyze citations, benchmark competitors, close content gaps, improve your site for AI, measure AI traffic, and use your data in reports, Looker Studio, the REST API or an AI assistant.

• Measure AI visibility: see your Visibility score, mentions, citations, sentiment and share of voice on the Visibility page, with a leaderboard of you against your tracked competitors.
• Track prompts and topics: group the prompts you track into topics, see estimated monthly AI search volume for each prompt, and get new prompt suggestions.
• Analyze citations: see which domains and URLs AI engines cite, grouped into source types (You, Competitor, Editorial, Forum, Social, Review, Institutional, Other).
• Benchmark competitors: compare your AI visibility head to head with each competitor you add.
• Close content gaps: review content opportunities for your weakest prompts, generate content briefs and drafts, and send them to your own tools with a webhook.
• Improve your site for AI: run site audits and generate AI readability files such as llms.txt for your domain.
• Measure AI traffic: see visits that reach your site from AI answer engines.
• Use your data elsewhere: build reports, connect Looker Studio, call the REST API, or query your data from an AI assistant through the MCP server.
