AuditAE

AuditAE is a brand monitoring tool that checks if AI search engines mention or cite your company when users ask questions relevant to your product category. Instead of guessing, you pick the prompts your buyers actually type — like "best project management software" or "AuditAE vs Otterly" — and AuditAE fires them against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini simultaneously. It then reports back: cited with a URL, mentioned without a link, or absent entirely. It also captures your Google keyword rankings and Core Web Vitals, so you see the full picture in one place.

The tool works on a simple pay-per-check model: $0.05 per prompt × engine combination, with $5 in free credits to start (no credit card required). You can run a one-off audit or schedule weekly tracking. AuditAE also offers a WordPress plugin that helps you add FAQ and Article schema, monitor which AI bots crawl your site, and manage your /llms.txt file. The interface is straightforward — define up to 10 prompts per run, and results appear in under two minutes.

This is most useful for SEO professionals, brand managers, and marketing teams who want to know whether their content strategy is actually influencing AI-generated answers. Traditional SEO tools show where you rank in blue links, but AI visibility tracking reveals whether you appear in the answer above those links — and who appears instead. AuditAE fills that gap with a transparent, affordable approach that doesn't require an enterprise subscription.
