Answer

How do I track AEO results?

Short answer

Track AEO with a mix of citation monitoring (manual prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude), branded-search lift in Google Search Console, referrer traffic from chat.openai.com / perplexity.ai, and assisted conversions inside your CRM.

  • Weekly: run a fixed prompt list across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude - log citations
  • Monthly: branded-search volume from Search Console as leading indicator
  • Always-on: referrer report filtered to chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com
  • CRM: add a 'How did you hear about us?' field with LLM options

More detail

There is no single dashboard yet. The practical AEO measurement stack is: weekly prompt audits (ask each major LLM 10-20 buyer questions and log who gets cited), Search Console branded-search growth (LLM exposure drives downstream branded queries), referrer-level analytics for direct LLM traffic, and CRM-side attribution that catches leads who say 'ChatGPT told me about you'.
