Search is changing. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews now answer questions directly — pulling from websites that meet specific technical standards. If your site isn't structured correctly, it won't be mentioned.
When an AI tool answers a question, it often links to the websites it pulled the answer from. This is called a citation — and the sites that get cited most are the ones AI platforms trust.
Pixl AEO is the only platform that audits your site against the technical standards AI uses — then verifies you're actually showing up in their answers. One loop: audit, fix, prove.

Pixl automatically detects whether your site runs on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, or custom code — then gives you step-by-step fix instructions specific to your platform. No guessing. No generic advice.
Fix: Missing H1 in main landmark
1. Open Webflow Designer
2. Select your main content section
3. Add a Heading element → set Tag to H1
4. Republish your site
Getting mentioned by AI isn't a one-time audit — it's a continuous loop. Pixl does both halves in one platform.
Scan any site for the technical signals AI platforms use to understand content: semantic HTML, schema markup, heading hierarchy, E-E-A-T, and content readability. Every violation comes with a step-by-step fix guide for your exact CMS — plus a dedicated AI chat to walk you through it.
Used by content teams, SEO agencies, and developers.
Send probe questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Grok — then track whether your brand actually appears in the answers. Watch your citation rate climb as fixes land. Get a single AI Visibility Score that combines everything into one number.
Proves your AEO work is actually working.
A comprehensive audit of the technical foundations that determine whether AI platforms can understand, reference, and accurately represent your content.
Detects duplicate H1s, skipped heading levels, and headings used for decoration instead of structure — the #1 issue that prevents AI from understanding page content.
Validates main, nav, header, footer, article, section, and aside elements so AI crawlers can map your page architecture.
Validates JSON-LD for Organization, Article, FAQPage, Product, and BreadcrumbList. Checks required fields and flags invalid configurations.
Checks author attribution, publication dates, contact info, about pages, privacy policy, and citations — the trust signals AI platforms rank highest.
Identifies lists rendered as plain paragraphs or divs that should use proper ul/ol/li markup for machine readability.
Analyzes paragraph length, content depth, thin sections, question-format headings, and direct-answer paragraphs for AI comprehensibility.
Checks HTTPS, viewport meta, mobile responsiveness, images without alt text, and core accessibility fundamentals.
Executive-summary AEO reports and AI Visibility reports with prioritized findings, code examples, and platform-specific guidance for your team or clients.
Every violation comes with a dedicated AI chat. Paste a screenshot of your CMS, describe what you're seeing, and Pixl AI walks you through the exact fix — step by step.
Each chat is pre-loaded with the violation details, your platform, the affected element's HTML, and the fix guide. The AI knows exactly what's broken.
Not sure where to find the setting? Paste a screenshot of your CMS admin into the chat. Pixl AI can see it and guide you to the right panel.
When CMS documentation changes, Pixl AI searches the web for the latest platform-specific guidance instead of relying on outdated training data.
Ask "Did I fix it?" and Pixl AI opens a headless browser, inspects your live site, and confirms whether the violation is resolved.

Everything you need to know about AEO, AI citations, and Pixl.
AEO is the practice of structuring your website so AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can read, understand, and confidently reference your content. It focuses on semantic HTML, schema markup, heading hierarchy, and trust signals — the technical foundations AI uses to evaluate content quality. Think of it as the modern successor to traditional SEO.
When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or another AI tool answers a user's question, it often pulls information from websites and links to them as sources. Those links are called citations — they're the AI's way of telling users "this is where I got this answer." For website owners, getting cited by AI is the new version of ranking on Google. The more often your site gets cited, the more AI-driven traffic you'll earn, and the more authoritative your brand will appear in AI-generated answers.
Traditional SEO optimizes for keyword ranking in Google's blue-link search results. AEO optimizes for being mentioned inside AI-generated answers. The technical requirements overlap but differ — AEO prioritizes structured data, semantic clarity, and E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) signals over backlinks and page authority. Both matter in 2026, but AEO addresses the rapidly growing AI search channel that traditional SEO tools ignore.
Most audits complete in under 60 seconds. Pixl uses a real cloud browser (not an HTTP scraper), so JavaScript-rendered content, single-page applications, and dynamically loaded pages are fully analyzed. Multi-page audits on higher plans take slightly longer since we crawl up to 5 pages per site.
Pixl automatically detects and provides platform-specific fix instructions for WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, and custom-coded sites. Every fix guide is tailored to your exact CMS interface — with step-by-step menu paths, not generic advice. If you're on a less common platform, Pixl AI can still walk you through the fix in chat.
No. Pixl AI explains every violation in plain English and walks you through the fix step by step, tailored to your CMS. You can paste screenshots of your admin panel into the chat and get exact guidance. For developers and agencies, detailed code examples, DOM paths, and copyable schema snippets are also provided.
Pixl monitors six major AI platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Grok (xAI). For every audit, Pixl checks the technical standards these platforms use to decide which websites to cite. For every probe prompt you set up, Pixl sends the question to all six platforms and tracks whether your brand appears in the answer.
You define probe prompts — the real questions your customers ask AI tools. Pixl sends those questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Grok on a schedule (weekly on Pro, daily on Agency and Enterprise), checks the responses for mentions of your brand or links to your domain, and tracks citation rates over time. You can also track competitor brand keywords to measure share of voice against your competitors.
A single 0-100 number that combines four signals: your AEO technical score, how AI crawlers access your site, how often they actually visit, and your real citation rates across all 6 AI platforms. It's the clearest signal of whether your site is actually showing up in AI search. Pixl also generates a branded PDF report of your AI Visibility Score that you can share with clients or stakeholders.
Probe prompts are the real-world questions you'd want AI platforms to mention your brand in. For example, if you run an event ticketing platform, a probe might be "What's the best way to sell tickets online?" Pixl sends this question to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Grok, and checks whether your brand appears in their answers. Pixl can also auto-generate relevant probes by analyzing your site — so you don't have to write them from scratch.
Yes — Pixl AEO offers a free plan with no credit card required. You can audit one website, run one audit per month, and see your full AEO score and violation list. Paid plans (Pro, Agency, Enterprise) unlock multi-page audits, multiple sites, AI chat with Pixl AI, fix guides, citation monitoring, and the AI Visibility Dashboard.
The free plan includes one full AEO audit per month on one website, a scored audit with every violation categorized by severity, platform detection (WordPress, Webflow, etc.), and a basic report. Paid plans add multi-page crawling, unlimited rerun tracking, Pixl AI chat support for every violation, AI citation monitoring across 6 platforms, and the AI Visibility Dashboard with PDF exports.
Yes. Pixl's free plan is designed for exactly this — run a real audit on your real website, see the violations, read the score, and decide for yourself whether the product is worth paying for. AEO results take weeks to show up in AI platforms, so we'd rather you use the free tier until you're confident Pixl delivers value. When you're ready for multi-page crawling, citation monitoring, and Pixl AI chat, upgrade from the dashboard in a few clicks.
Technical fixes (schema markup, heading hierarchy, semantic HTML) take effect the moment AI crawlers re-visit your site — usually within a few days to a few weeks. Citation rate improvements take longer, because AI platforms need to re-index your content and update their retrieval systems. Most Pixl users see citation rate improvements within 4–8 weeks of consistent AEO work. That's why we offer a free plan: try it, run your baseline audit, come back in a month, and see the difference.
Yes — the Agency plan is built specifically for client work. You get 25 sites, 150 audits per month, multi-page crawling, citation monitoring, the AI Visibility Dashboard with branded PDF exports, and Pixl AI chat. Agencies use Pixl to deliver monthly AEO reports to clients, track citation improvements over time, and demonstrate measurable ROI on content work.
Pixl shows you a friendly upgrade prompt when you approach or hit any limit — sites, audits per month, AI chat messages, or probe prompts. Your existing data stays intact. You can upgrade instantly from any limit prompt, and the new limits apply immediately. Paid plans never auto-upgrade without your approval.
The technical issues that block AI citation are invisible to users — but not to AI. Run a free audit, fix what's broken, and start showing up in AI answers.
