# AI visibility ## What this is for Search used to rank pages; assistants recommend brands. When someone asks ChatGPT "which is the best X for Y", they get three to five names and pick from that list. There is no second page. If the brand is not in the list, it does not exist for that buyer. Three facts shape everything below: - **Answers vary by model.** Overlap between the domains ChatGPT and Perplexity cite is roughly 11%. Checking one assistant tells you almost nothing. - **The description matters as much as the mention.** When a model names a brand, it also characterises it in one sentence the brand did not write. That sentence is the positioning buyers act on. - **Most of the signal is off-site.** Around 85% of brand mentions in AI answers trace back to third-party sources, not the brand's own pages. Rewriting the homepage alone rarely moves the number. This skill measures the current state, then produces a ranked list of fixes. It runs locally on plain files — no account, no database, no API key required. ## Workflow Work through these in order. Steps 1-5 are the measurement; 6-8 are the fix. Announce which step you are on so the user can follow along. Everything lives in a **workspace directory** — create it inside the user's project (or wherever they ask), never in a temp folder they will lose. All scripts are `python3` with the standard library only. Invoke them as `python <skill>/scripts/aeo.py -w <workspace> <command>`. ### 1. Set up the brand
