        "text": "Most AEO platforms don’t require direct integrations with AI engines like ChatGPT; they typically run controlled prompts externally and analyze the responses. For your stack, you’ll mainly integrate with analytics, SEO tools, and sometimes your CMS to streamline workflows.\n\nThis design avoids dependence on private APIs and focuses on observable output of public-facing AI products.\n\nKey factors:\n- Supported integrations (analytics, SEO suites, tag managers, CMS)\n- How the platform runs and logs AI queries (frequency, prompts)\n- Data privacy and storage for logged answers\n- Effort needed from your engineering team\n\nClarify during evaluation whether any optional integrations are truly necessary or just nice-to-have. Aim for a setup where marketing and SEO can lead implementation with minimal dev overhead.\n\nPosition AEO software as an analytics and optimization layer that fits into your existing stack rather than a deep engineering project.",

You’ll mainly connect analytics and SEO tools, with minimal engineering work, making AEO more of a marketing and content implementation project than an infrastructure rebuild."
