AI Search · AEO

Get Found in the Answers, Not Just the Search Results.

More of your customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot before they ever open Google. Every Sites site is built so those assistants can read it, understand your business and send people to you. And you can see when they do.

GET STARTED HOW IT WORKS
01 Built in
Answer Engine Optimization

Ready for AI Search from the Day You Launch.

AEO means making your site easy for AI assistants to find, read and quote. On Sites, nothing needs to be added or set up for that. It's part of how every site is built and served.

22
AI Crawlers Recognized

From OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Google, Apple, Meta and more. Each one is handled according to why it reads your site.

0
Scripts Needed to Read a Page

Every page is pre-built HTML, so assistants that never run JavaScript still read all of it.

Every
Publish Announced

When you publish, the pages you changed are sent to Bing right away. ChatGPT search and Copilot both draw on Bing's results.

30days
Of AI Activity

Your dashboard shows the visits AI answers sent you and which AI tools read which pages.

02 What Sites does
Readable, Understood, Measured

Six Things Working for You Behind Every Page

An AI assistant can only recommend what it can reach and understand. Here's what Sites does so it can do both.

01
Open to Answer Engines

The assistants that cite you are let in.

Some hosts and networks now block AI crawlers by default without saying so. Sites lets ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot read every page, so your site can be the source they quote.

02
Your Call on Training

Being cited and being trained on are separate.

Choose whether AI companies may train their models on your content, with one switch. Training is off unless you turn it on, and either way you still appear in AI answers.

03
Structured Data

Your facts, in the format machines read.

Your business details, location, hours, FAQs and page structure are marked up automatically on every page, so assistants get them straight from the source instead of guessing.

04
Clean, Fast Pages

Nothing in the way of the words.

Pre-built pages served from a global edge network load in milliseconds and read cleanly, whether the visitor is a person or a crawler on a short time budget.

05
Instant Announcements

Changes don't wait weeks to be noticed.

Each publish tells Bing and other IndexNow search engines exactly which pages changed, so a new service or updated price is picked up in hours, not whenever a crawler comes back.

06
See the Results

Know when AI is sending you customers.

Your analytics show visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude as their own channel, plus which AI crawlers read which pages. Included from the Starter plan up.

03 How it works
From Page to Answer

How Your Site Ends Up in an AI Answer

The platform handles the technical side. The other half is what your pages say, and Paige helps with that part.

  1. Reached
    Answer engines are allowed in and find every page through your sitemap. Changes are announced on publish.
  2. Understood
    Fast, plain HTML and structured data tell them who you are, where you are and what you do.
  3. Quoted
    Clear, specific answers to real customer questions are what assistants repeat. Ask Paige to write them.
  4. Measured
    See the visits AI answers send you, and which pages the assistants read most.

Write the pages assistants quote.

AI answers favor pages that answer a question directly, with specifics: prices, service areas, hours, steps. Ask Paige, your AI webmaster, to add an FAQ, rewrite a services page around the questions customers ask, or keep a price list current. She makes the change and you publish it.

GET STARTED
  • “Add an FAQ to the services page from our top 8 customer questions”
  • “Put our service areas and hours on the contact page”
  • “Start the pricing page with what a typical project costs”
  • “Update the price list. Labor is now $95 an hour”

05 Questions
AI Search FAQ

Common Questions About AI Search

Short answers to what people ask us most about AI search and AEO.

What is AEO?

AEO (answer engine optimization) is making your website easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot to find, read and cite when someone asks them a question. It builds on SEO: the same clear, well-structured pages that rank in search are the ones assistants quote.

Does AEO replace SEO?

No. Most AI assistants look things up through a search index, Bing's or Google's, before they answer. Good SEO is still the foundation. Sites handles both: the same pages, structured data and sitemaps serve search engines and answer engines.

Will AI companies train their models on my website?

Not unless you allow it. Sites keeps AI training crawlers such as GPTBot and Google-Extended out by default, and you can change that with one switch in your SEO settings. Answer engines that cite your site are allowed either way.

Can I see if ChatGPT is sending me visitors?

Yes. On plans with analytics (Starter and up), visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude show up as their own “AI assistants” channel, and the SEO tab shows which AI crawlers read your pages and how often.

Can I find out whether ChatGPT recommends my business?

Yes. AI visibility tracking (Growth plan and up) asks the questions your customers ask, up to 20 of them, to ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude every week, and shows whether each one mentions your business, cites your website, or recommends someone else. The searches use your plan's credits.

How do I make my pages easier for AI to quote?

Run the AI readiness audit in your SEO tab. It checks every page for what assistants quote, such as a direct answer up front, questions as headings, an FAQ and specific facts, and lists the fixes. Paige can make most of them for you.

Do I need to set anything up?

No. Crawler access, structured data, sitemaps and publish announcements are built into every Sites plan. The only choice to make is whether to allow AI training, and the default is no.
