Of 46 retained checks, 31 pass, 2 have critical failures, 3 have important failures and 4 are unverified. Comparison set: 5 other domains. Original page captures are not retained with this snapshot. The calculation checks saved scores and counts, not the underlying crawl or today’s website. It does not measure how often AI answers mention or cite the site. [Discuss availability](mailto:info@prompeteer.com?subject=AI%20Discovery%20availability) ## What is answer engine optimization? Answer engine optimization (AEO) helps AI search systems find, understand and cite information about your business. Answer engine marketing (AEM) turns those findings into content and distribution priorities. Prompeteer brings website readiness, sampled AI visibility and a practical action plan into one workflow, with agentic commerce checks where relevant. ## What the website audit covers - **Crawler access**: Whether AI crawlers can reach your website and receive its content. - **Content readability**: Whether the page delivers readable content without relying on browser interaction. - **Answer clarity**: Whether readers can find clear, useful answers to relevant questions. - **Business identity**: Whether the website clearly identifies the company, its authors and its published information. - **Agent readiness**: Whether relevant discovery endpoints and product information are available to automated systems. Review website findings alongside available AI answer samples. Every report displays measurement dates and identifies evidence that still needs verification. Create an AEM action plan to turn the findings into prioritised work. ## Questions ### What does the preview assess? Administrator-only Beacon workspaces combine website readiness, priority findings, competitor context and available AI answer measurements. Each report identifies its measurement dates and any evidence still missing. ### Who can access AI Discovery? Beacon’s website overview is public. Its workspaces, reports, samples and paid operations are currently available only to administrators. Free Prompeteer and Prompeteer Pro do not grant Beacon workspace access. Contact info@prompeteer.com to discuss availability. ### How long does the report take? The website audit usually takes 10–20 seconds. A slow run can take up to 90 seconds, with progress shown on the page. AI answer samples are collected separately and display their own status and measurement date. ### What is the difference between the AEO report and the AEM action plan? The AEO report shows the website findings and available visibility measurements. The AEM action plan turns them into prioritised work, suggested owners and verification steps. Review the plan before publishing changes, then audit the updated website. ### Does a higher score guarantee more AI traffic or sales? No. The readiness score reflects the audited website. Mentions and citations depend on the engine, question, market and date. Use answer measurements and your own traffic or conversion data to assess business outcomes. ### Are my reports public? Full reports are currently available only to administrators in authorized Beacon workspaces with the appropriate report permissions. The public page shows a dated excerpt from an audit of Prompeteer’s own website, without access to the full report. --- ## How AI shapes discovery and buying decisions - **42% Search for information**: of U.S. adults say they have used AI chatbots to search for information.
