Stop chasing clicks. Start being the answer.
B2B buyers are skipping Google and asking AI engines who to buy from. Generate the exact prompts you need to check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews mention your brand — or hand the deal to a competitor.
No login. No credit card. Your first prompts appear in about 20 seconds.
Your buyers changed how they search. Your analytics can't see it.
A plant manager used to type "robotic palletizer" into Google, click four websites, and fill out a form. Now she asks ChatGPT to shortlist three vendors, compare them, and draft the RFQ email. She visits one website: the winner's.
None of that shows up in Google Search Console. There's no ranking report for "what ChatGPT said about you last Tuesday." The only way to know is to ask the engines the same questions your buyers ask, and write down the answers.
That's what this tool is for. It turns your industry, audience, and product into the specific prompts worth tracking, so you can measure your AI visibility this afternoon instead of guessing at it.
What stopped working
Ranking #3 for a keyword nobody types anymore. Traffic reports that miss every buyer who got their answer inside the chat window and never clicked through.
What works now
Being the brand AI engines name when someone asks "who should I buy this from?" That takes clean entity data, third-party mentions, and structured content — and a way to measure whether it's working.
AEO Prompt Generator
Describe what you sell and who buys it. You'll get buyer-journey prompts you can paste into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google right now to see whether your brand shows up.
Turn the prompts into a monthly visibility report
This is the same process we run for consulting clients. It takes about an hour a month.
Run the prompts
Paste each prompt into ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google (for AI Overviews). Use a logged-out or incognito session so your own history doesn't skew the answers.
Log the mentions
For each answer, record whether your brand appears, where it ranks in the list, and which competitors are named. The CSV export gives you the columns; HubSpot's AEO tools can track the same prompts automatically.
Fix what's missing
No mentions usually traces back to one of three gaps: weak entity data, no third-party citations, or unstructured content. The framework shows you which one to fix first.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of making your brand the answer AI engines give when buyers ask for recommendations. Where SEO earns you a ranking on a results page, AEO earns you a mention inside the answer itself — in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO competes for ten blue links; AEO competes for one answer. AI engines build a recommendation from entity data, third-party mentions, and structured content, so AEO works on those inputs rather than backlinks and keyword rankings. Your SEO fundamentals still help — they're just no longer enough on their own.
How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my brand?
Ask it the questions your buyers ask, in their words, and record whether you appear. The generator above builds those questions for you across the awareness, consideration, and decision stages. Run them monthly and log the results — that's your AI visibility baseline.
Is the prompt generator really free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no login and no credit card. The first prompts appear instantly; an email unlocks the full set plus the CSV download. That email gets one practical AEO tip a month and nothing else.
What is a context hint?
A context hint is a short description (one or two sentences) of the buyer conversation where an advertiser wants their ChatGPT ad to appear. OpenAI matches hints to live conversations by meaning, not exact keywords. Our ChatGPT ads guide covers how to write good ones.
Does this work with HubSpot AEO tracking?
Yes. The CSV export uses columns that map to HubSpot's AEO prompt tracking, so you can import your prompt list and log brand mentions over time inside HubSpot. It works just as well in a plain spreadsheet.
