24 alternatives to betterAEO
Hi HN, I’m launching betterAEO, a tool we’ve been building to help websites understand and improve how they appear in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. The motivation came from noticing that traditional SEO metrics don’t capture how AI engines select and summarize content. Sites with strong SEO can still be invisible in AI summaries, meaning users get answers that favor competitors even when your content is high quality. betterAEO lets you: - Measure your site’s AI-readiness with a single AEO Score - Identify gaps in schema, snippets,…

AEO Tool▲5Hi HN, Over the last months, I noticed something odd: many websites that rank well on Google simply don’t appear when you ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for recommendations or explanations. At first I assumed it was just noise. But after testing dozens of sites, a pattern started to emerge: AI systems don’t reward “SEO-optimized” pages — they pick sources that are clear, structured, and easy to reuse as answers. SEO tools don’t really explain this. Manual prompt testing is inconsistent. And most advice around “AEO” is still vague or theoretical. So I built a small tool to experiment with…

ChatSEO▲56I built this after getting frustrated with digging through Google Search Console tables and exports just to decide what to work on next to do the SEO of my first project (recipe mobile app). ChatSEO connects to Google Search Console and lets you ask questions in plain language (e.g. pages close to page 1, keywords losing traction, or what actions are likely to have the biggest impact). Under the hood, it combines GSC data with external keyword and SERP data to prioritize SEO actions instead of just showing dashboards. It’s still early: onboarding is basic, recommendations can be noisy, and…
