Frequently asked questions about AI visibility.

Updated 29 Jul 2026

What is Prefer?

Prefer is an answer engine optimisation (AEO) platform that shows how AI assistants describe your brand and helps you improve it. It tracks the prompts buyers ask, records which sources each engine cites, scores your visibility, and drafts the content changes needed to get recommended.

What is answer engine optimisation (AEO)?

Answer engine optimisation is the practice of getting a brand named, cited and recommended inside AI-generated answers. Where SEO competes for a position in a list of links, AEO competes for a mention in the single answer an assistant gives, which means optimising the sources those assistants read rather than the ranking of a page.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO optimises for ranked links on a results page; AEO optimises for being the answer itself. The signals differ too: AI engines lean on citable, well-structured sources such as documentation, comparison pages, listicles and review sites, so a page that ranks well can still be invisible in AI answers, and vice versa.

Which AI engines does Prefer track?

Prefer tracks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and Google AI Overviews. Each engine is monitored separately, because the same prompt often produces a different answer and a different set of citations on each one.

How does Prefer measure AI visibility?

Prefer runs your tracked prompts against every engine on a schedule and scores three things: how often your brand is mentioned, the share of voice you hold against named competitors, and the sentiment of each mention. Every score links back to the exact answer and the sources it cited, so the number is always auditable.

How long does it take to see results?

The first Prefer report takes about ten minutes to generate. Measurable movement in AI answers usually appears two to six weeks after the recommended content changes ship, because each engine has to re-crawl the source and refresh its index.

Does Prefer work with the tools we already use?

Yes. Prefer publishes optimised pages and schema into CMS platforms including Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Framer, Ghost and Contentful, reads analytics from Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Semrush, and pushes citations and alerts into Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion and Zapier.

What does it cost to get started?

The Prefer AEO report is free and needs only your website URL, no card, no sales call. Paid plans add continuous prompt tracking, competitor benchmarking, agent analytics and the content agents, and are priced per tracked brand.
