        "text": "To evaluate AEO platforms, compare how many answer engines they monitor, how well they detect citations and mentions, and how actionable their recommendations are for content and technical teams. Don’t just look at dashboards; assess whether the tool helps you decide what to change on your site next week.\n\nIntegration with your SEO stack and clear workflows are more important than flashy visualizations.\n\nKey factors:\n- Coverage of AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, voice assistants)\n- Depth and accuracy of citation/mention tracking\n- Quality of content and schema recommendations\n- Usability for non-technical marketers and collaboration features\n\nRun vendor trials with 2–3 competing platforms, feeding them the same domains and topic sets, then compare insights and ease of acting on them. Involve SEO, content, and analytics in the evaluation.\n\nPosition AEO tool selection as a cross-team decision, since multiple disciplines will rely on the data.",
