Question 1

How does an AI visibility audit work?

Accepted Answer

Disqora fetches your public pages the way Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity crawlers do, then evaluates more than 80 signals across SEO, AI search, video, security, and compliance. Every failing check is scored by severity and impact, so you receive a ranked, plain-English fix list with copy ready snippets in under a minute.

Question 2

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

Accepted Answer

Answer engine optimization is the practice of structuring your content so AI assistants and search features can quote it directly. Disqora audits the signals AEO depends on conversational headings, question and answer formatting, structured data, clear definitions, and crawlable markup so your pages are eligible for Google's AI Overviews and citations in ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Question 3

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO improves where your pages rank in classic search results; AEO improves whether your answers get quoted by AI engines. They overlap but are not identical, a page can rank well yet never appear in ChatGPT or an AI Overview. Disqora scores both in one report, so you can fix ranking factors and citation factors together.

Question 4

Is Disqora free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Disqora includes two free audits with no credit card required, and each scan covers all 80-plus checks across the five layers. Paid one-time and monthly plans add more credits, history, and comparison tools when you need to run audits regularly or track scores over time across client sites.

Question 5

How does Disqora check AI search visibility?

Accepted Answer

Disqora inspects the same signals AI engines rely on to choose citations: whether popular AI crawlers like GPTBot and PerplexityBot are allowed in robots.txt, how clearly your entities and structured data describe your content, whether llms.txt exists, and if your pages answer common questions directly. Each gap maps to a specific fix.

Question 6

How long does an audit take?

Accepted Answer

Most audits finish in under 60 seconds. Disqora fetches and analyzes your pages server-side, optionally rendering JavaScript for single-page apps, and runs Core Web Vitals checks when you enable them. Larger sites with hundreds of pages take longer, but you always get the prioritized checklist as soon as the crawl completes.
