Answer Engine Optimization for agencies
Know when AI answers recommend your clients, and what they cite instead.
EllipseSearch measures how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode mention and cite your client brands, shows which sources and competitors appear instead, and flags claims it can check against confirmed facts.
ChatGPT
Perplexity
Gemini
Google AI ModeBuyers now ask, they don't search.
A growing share of product and vendor research happens inside AI assistants. The answer is one paragraph — either your client is in it, or a competitor is.
Rankings don't explain selection.
SEO tooling tells you where a page ranks. It cannot tell you whether an answer engine mentioned the brand, cited the site, or invented a price that loses the deal.
Agencies need evidence, not opinions.
To sell and defend AEO work you need measurable baselines, trends and findings a client stakeholder can understand in one meeting.
Measure
Visibility you can put a number on
Every monitored prompt is run against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode on a schedule. You get a visibility score per brand, per engine, per region — and the trend over time, not a one-off snapshot.
- Scheduled monitoring across four answer engines
- Per-engine, per-region and per-prompt breakdowns
- 90-day trends with daily granularity
Diagnose
Mentioned is not the same as cited
A brand can be named in an answer while the linked source is a competitor or a directory. EllipseSearch records mentions and links separately, shows which sources the answers cite instead, and scores content characteristics (structure, data density, directness) that may help explain the pattern. Those scores are our analysis, not the engines' ranking factors.
- Mention and citation status per prompt and engine
- Competitors named in the same answers
- Content-characteristic scores, labelled as inferred
Protect
Catch AI misinformation before clients do
The Hallucination Watchdog crawls the client's site to build a ground-truth dataset, then checks answer-engine claims about pricing, features and availability against it. Wrong claims are flagged with evidence and a recommended fix.
- Claims verified against crawled site content
- Pricing, feature and availability error detection
- Specific content fixes for each finding
Report
Run every client from one portfolio
Agencies manage all client brands in one workspace: a portfolio view ranks every client, flags the ones losing visibility or missing data, and each brand workspace produces the evidence you need for the monthly client conversation.
- Portfolio ranking with attention flags
- Per-client workspaces with full drill-down
- Exportable evidence for client reporting
Arabic Intelligence
Arabic-native measurement, not translated prompts
Arabic buyers ask in dialect, in Modern Standard Arabic, in English and in mixed code-switched queries — and answer engines respond differently to each. EllipseSearch generates dialect-aware prompt variants per market, detects brand mentions through Arabic orthography and transliteration, and records the requested and reported egress country for each run, verified where the provider reports it.
- Dialect-aware prompt variants across 20 Arabic varieties and 20+ markets
- Arabic-aware mention detection that handles orthographic variants and brand transliterations
- Requested country on every run; in-country execution verified where available
- Citation language analysis showing whether Arabic or English content wins the answer

Monitoring runs on schedule
Paid plans run each tracked prompt daily on the engines you enable. Coverage is shown per brand, and results accumulate into trends, not anecdotes.
- 4
Act and report
Recommendations show the observed evidence, the likely explanation and a suggested change separately; the workspace gives you client-ready evidence.
