AEO for CMOs

Your brand is being described by AI engines every day. Do you know what they are saying?

Quick answer
As a CMO, you are responsible for how the market perceives your brand. Traditionally that meant controlling messaging through advertising, PR, and owned media channels. But AI engines have introduced a new, uncontrolled layer of brand perception: when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini about your category, the AI's response shapes their understanding of your brand before they ever visit your website. This AI-generated brand narrative is now the first touchpoint for a growing share of your audience, and most CMOs have little visibility into it.

Pain points

Challenges cmos face with AI visibility

  • No executive-level view of how AI engines describe and position your brand
  • Difficulty spotting when AI engines make inaccurate claims about your products, pricing, or company
  • Competitor brands appearing more prominently in AI responses for your core category queries
  • Board and investor questions about AI visibility strategy that you cannot answer with data
  • Marketing spend on content and PR with no measurement of impact on AI engine perception
  • Fragmented view across AI engines: what ChatGPT says about your brand may differ from Perplexity or Gemini
The solution

How cmos can approach AI visibility

1

Ask your team to run a fixed list of brand and category prompts in each major AI engine every month and keep the answers in one shared sheet

2

Estimate Share of Model by counting how often your brand and each competitor appear across those answers, and report it as a directional figure

3

Review accuracy by comparing AI answers with a verified fact sheet for your products, pricing, and company claims

4

Review sentiment by collecting the descriptive phrases engines use for your brand and tagging them as positive, neutral, or negative

5

Prepare a one-page board summary with the method, the trend, the competitive comparison, and the top three actions

6

For multi-brand portfolios, use the same prompt template and sheet layout for each brand so results can be compared

Day in the life

A typical AI visibility routine

A CMO who runs this workflow starts the month by opening the shared prompt-review sheet. The marketing team has run the standard prompt list in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. The sheet shows that the brand appears in more answers than last month on two engines and fewer on a third. One engine describes a discontinued pricing tier as current. The CMO forwards the finding to the content team as a priority fix.

During the leadership meeting, the CMO presents a short summary: the method, the share of mentions for the brand against its main competitors, and three new competitor brands that now appear in answers. The summary labels the figures as directional, because AI answers vary between runs.

Before the end of the day, the CMO reads the sentiment notes. Recent product launch coverage has moved the phrases engines use from neutral to positive. This is evidence the CMO can show the board, with the caveat that it comes from a sample of prompts. For the technical side, the team ran the free AEO Platform AI-readiness check on the main domain and confirmed that AI crawlers are not blocked. That check covers technical signals only and does not read live AI answers.
