Skillaeo measures and improves how brands appear in AI-driven search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It calls this discipline AI Engine Tuning (AEO), also known as GEO (Generative Engine Tuning), and it’s fundamentally different from traditional Google SEO.
The core problem Skillaeo addresses: AI models recommend your competitors, not you, and you’ve no way to know until you check.
The Visibility Score System
Skillaeo assigns each brand a visibility score from 0 to 100 for every audited LLM. The scoring is transparent — every report details the inputs and calculation methods used to derive the score. This is a measurable metric you can track over time, unlike the opacity of how ChatGPT or Gemini decide what to recommend.
The platform tracks four categories of data:
| Metric | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Citation tracking | Which AI queries cite your brand vs. competitors |
| Competitor insights | Who AI recommends instead of you — and why |
| Visibility score | 0-100 score per LLM, with methodology disclosed |
| Priority fixes | Evidence-based fixes ranked by expected impact |
Skills Pack: Structured Data for AI Models
The actionable output of a Skillaeo audit is a Skills Pack — a set of three files designed to help LLMs understand your business accurately:
- llms.txt — Similar to robots.txt, this file tells AI crawlers which content to prioritize or avoid on your site.
- agent.json — Structured data about your business: purpose, services, key attributes. Gives AI agents a concise overview.
- FAQ Schema Markup — Schema.org markup for frequently asked questions, so AI models can extract accurate answers about your brand.
The premise is that traditional website content alone isn’t enough for optimal AI comprehension. These structured files fill the gap.

What Could Be Better
- Not for traditional SEO: Skillaeo won’t help you rank on Google. If your primary traffic source is traditional search, this tool addresses a different problem entirely.
- Limited to four AI engines: Coverage is ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It doesn’t track Bing Copilot, Apple Intelligence, or smaller AI search tools like You.com or Phind.
- No content generation: Skillaeo diagnoses visibility problems and generates structured files, but it doesn’t write blog posts, landing pages, or other content that might improve your AI presence.
- Unverified impact: The correlation between setting up a Skills Pack and actually improving AI visibility isn’t backed by independent research or case studies on the website. The effectiveness of llms.txt and agent.json files depends on whether AI crawlers actually read and respect them — which varies by provider.
- Credit-based limits: With only 3 free reports per month, meaningful A/B testing of fixes requires a paid plan. The Starter plan’s Perplexity + Claude coverage omits the two most popular engines (ChatGPT and Gemini), which are locked behind the $49.90 Pro tier.
