Glotier tells you whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name your product when buyers ask what to use in your category. It puts your buyers' real questions to all three as live web queries, records whether you were named and by which of them, which competitors were named instead, and which pages each answer was built from.

How does Glotier check AI visibility?

It runs one live web search per question. ChatGPT and Gemini read the identical results, and Perplexity runs its own retrieval because it does not accept results handed to it. Whether your product is named is decided by a literal presence check on the answer text rather than by asking a model for its opinion, so the number cannot be inflated by a model being agreeable. You can also connect your own ChatGPT or Claude key and have the questions run through your account instead.

Why ask three assistants instead of one?

Because they disagree. In our own study, across the 39 of 40 buying questions where all three answered, all three named the same product only 30% of the time and 47% of products were named by exactly one assistant. Checking a single assistant shows you 58% to 65% of the products named across the three, so a founder who checks ChatGPT, sees their name and relaxes has measured one engine on one phrasing.

Is Glotier free to use?

The check is free with no signup. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month (Fast, one product), then Solo at $39, Studio at $99 and Agency at $249. Every paid plan covers the daily check and the content the agent writes.

Does Glotier make up data about my product?

No. Every result comes from observed data: the live search results, the answers the assistants actually returned, and the sources they cited. It does not invent metrics, ratings or engine claims, and when a measurement has not run it says so rather than printing a zero.

Anyone selling something buyers research before choosing, where the category has enough alternatives that an assistant has to pick a shortlist: software, tools, e-commerce, and services. Founders, marketers and agencies all use it, and the work is the same at any size. It is not useful for local or in-person businesses, where maps and reviews decide the outcome instead.

What are the best answer engine optimization tools?

The ones that measure the real answer, not just score your page. A tool that checks whether ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity name you and shows the sources behind the answer gives you something to act on. Glotier does this from a free check up to $9.99 a month for daily tracking.

Is AEO the same as GEO?

They overlap heavily and are often used for the same job: getting named by AI answers. AEO leans toward being the direct answer to a question, including in featured snippets and AI overviews. GEO is the broader term for optimizing for generative engines. The measurement that matters is the same for both.

Is there a free AEO checker?

Yes. Glotier's check is free and needs no account. It reads your pages for how quotable they are and gives you a first read on the answers and the sources behind them. Daily measurement is the paid part, from $9.99 a month.

Answer engine optimization

Answer engine optimization (AEO) tools, and the free way to check yours

Answer engine optimization is getting picked as the answer an assistant gives, not just a link it shows. The tools that help fall into two camps: checklist scorers, and ones that actually measure the answer. Here is the difference, and a free way to see where you stand right now.

What AEO tools actually do

Some AEO tools grade your page against a rubric: does it answer a question directly, is it structured, does it carry schema. Those things help a page be quoted correctly once it is retrieved, and they are worth doing. They do not tell you whether you are being retrieved at all.

The other kind measures the answer itself: it runs the buying question, checks whether you are named, and reads the sources. That is the one that turns AEO from a feeling into a task, because it hands you the specific pages to get into.

The part every AEO tool should surface

The FAQ pattern is the clearest example of AEO in practice: a plain question with a plain answer is exactly the shape an assistant lifts straight into its response. But writing FAQs on your own site does nothing if the assistant is building its answer from a roundup you are not in.

So the measurement has to come first. Glotier's free check reads your pages and gives you a first look at the answers and their sources. Fast tracks it daily, so you can see AEO work land or fail to.
