FAQ
Common questions
What is agentic AEO?
Agentic AEO means AI agents do the tracking and analysis work, not just dashboards. With EarShots, an agent connected over MCP, the REST API or the CLI can build your prompt universe, read every engine's answers and citations, and tell you which prompts to fix first. Recommendations and drafts stay drafts until a person approves them.
What is an AEO platform for dev tools?
An AEO (answer engine optimization) platform for dev tools tracks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name and cite your library, API or CLI for the prompts developers and coding agents ask, and shows which docs, repos and threads those answers rely on.
How should a startup approach AEO?
Start with 20 to 50 prompts taken from real customer questions, track them on every engine, and work on the ones where no product is named consistently. Then get cited in the articles engines already quote, which is what Ears Cite does.
Which AI engines does Prompt Universe track?
ChatGPT with web search, Claude with web search, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
What is query fan-out and why does it matter for AEO?
When someone asks an AI engine one question, the engine often fans it out into several related searches before answering. EarShots shows you the fan-out queries behind each prompt, so you can see the full set of questions an engine researches and make sure your docs and sources cover them, not just the headline prompt.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) is about getting named in AI answers. GEO (generative engine optimization) is about getting your sources cited inside the generated answer itself. EarShots tracks both: mention rate tells you if you are named, citation share tells you if your pages are the source.
How do I get my product cited by ChatGPT and Claude?
Engines cite pages that already answer the question clearly: documentation, comparison articles and community threads. EarShots shows which sources each engine trusts for your prompts, and Ears Cite reaches out to the authors of the articles engines already quote to include your product where it fits.
How do I measure share of voice in AI answers?
Track a fixed set of prompts over time and compare how often each competitor is named and cited per engine. EarShots computes this automatically across your prompt universe, with trendlines per engine, so you can see whether your share is growing or a competitor is taking it.
How often do prompts refresh?
You choose daily or weekly for each prompt.
What is the difference between a mention and a citation?
A mention means the answer mentions your product. A citation means the answer links your site as a source. Both are tracked separately.
How many prompts can I track?
Starter tracks 100 and Growth tracks 250. Enterprise tracks prompts on credits, sized with the EarShots team for your volume.
Does EarShots publish anything to my docs?
No. EarShots never edits your site. It drafts replies on X, LinkedIn and Reddit for your approval, and gives recommendations for your docs.
