Answer Engine Optimisation

The announcement by Conductor marks an evolution in how brands compete for share in AI-generated responses, setting a new standard for enterprise AEO measurement and action.

You get cited for what others say about you as much as for what you say as a brand. Answer engines lean on the same authority signals but draw from a narrower set of sources they already trust. “I’d resist treating AEO as an independently dialable lever: citation frequency is now a lagging consequence of authority,” says Jason Huan, CMO at Endowus.

Getfluence and OtterlyAI help brands turn AI search insights into targeted editorial placements and stronger visibility.

AppsFlyer’s new AEO measurement covers 8 AI and 13 search engines, helping marketers compare organic and paid AI traffic across mobile, desktop, app and web.

The AI Visibility suite turns TikTok, Instagram, and UGC videos into structured, hyper-optimised content that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini can cite.

Creator-First AEO puts creators at the centre of how brands win in AI search, turning trusted creator experiences, recommendations, and content into signals.

The AEO Visibility Dashboard joins Agent Readiness, the existing tool in the suite that checks whether AI agents can find and read a site in the first place.
