In 2026, ranking well on Google is no longer enough. A growing number of your prospects no longer click on links. They ask questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini and expect a direct answer.
If AI doesn't cite you, you don't exist for these users.
The problem? Unlike traditional SEO where you can track your positions in Google Search Console, measuring your visibility in AI is still unclear for many companies. Traditional tools aren't designed for this.
This is where AEO tools (Answer Engine Optimization) come in. They allow you to track your mentions in AI responses, analyze your share of voice against competitors, and identify levers to improve your presence.
In this article, we present the 10 best AEO tools in 2026, classified by use case. With our honest opinion on each one.
How to choose your AEO tool?
Before diving into the ranking, here are the 4 essential criteria for choosing a tool adapted to your needs.
1. LLM Coverage
Not all tools track the same platforms. Check that the tool covers the AI that your audience uses:
- ChatGPT (the most used)
- Google AI Overviews / AI Mode
- Perplexity
- Gemini
- Claude
- Microsoft Copilot
2. Type of Metrics
Depending on your objectives, you'll need different metrics:
- Visibility: are you mentioned in the responses?
- Position: at what rank do you appear?
- Sentiment: does the AI speak positively about you?
- Citations: what sources are used to talk about you?
- Share of Voice: what is your share of voice vs competitors?
3. Optimization Features
Some tools are limited to monitoring. Others offer actionable recommendations to improve your visibility: content audit, prompt suggestions, source identification to target.
4. Budget and Scalability
Prices range from $29/month for entry-level solutions to several thousand euros for enterprise offers. Choose based on your volume of prompts to track and the number of brands/clients to manage.

Structured Data: A Complementary Lever
Tracking your AI visibility is good. But improving that visibility also requires optimizing your site.
One of the most effective levers: structured data. They allow LLMs to precisely understand your page content and increase your chances of being cited.

Conclusion
AEO is no longer an option in 2026. With the rise of generative AI, tracking your visibility in AI responses becomes as important as tracking your Google positions.
To choose the right tool, ask yourself the right questions:
- Which LLMs does your audience use?
- Do you need simple monitoring or actionable recommendations?
- What is your budget?
To get started: Nightwatch or the Basic version of Meteoria offer excellent value for money.
To go further: Otterly, Peec AI, or Meteoria Pro provide deeper insights.
For large companies: Authoritas, Profound, or Scrunch meet scalability and governance needs.
An AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) tool allows you to track your visibility in responses generated by AI like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO tools that track your positions in Google, AEO tools measure whether your brand is mentioned, cited, or recommended by AI assistants. They also analyze sentiment, sources used, and your share of voice against competitors.
For beginners, Nightwatch ($39/month) or Meteoria Basic (€75/month) offer the best value for money. Nightwatch combines traditional SEO and AI tracking in a simple interface. Meteoria offers an intuitive dashboard with actionable recommendations. If you already use Semrush or Ahrefs, their integrated modules (AI Visibility Toolkit and Brand Radar) allow you to start without changing tools.
The main AEO tools cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode. Some like Otterly and Authoritas also track Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and DeepSeek. Check coverage before choosing: not all tools support the same platforms. ChatGPT remains the most widely used LLM, but Google AI Mode is gaining importance.
Prices vary depending on features and prompt volume. Entry-level: €29-75/month (Nightwatch, Otterly Lite, Meteoria Basic). Mid-range: €100-500/month (Otterly Standard, Peec AI, Meteoria Pro). Enterprise: €500 to several thousand euros/month (Profound, Scrunch, Authoritas). Integrated solutions like Semrush AI ($99/domain) or Ahrefs Brand Radar (included) are added to existing subscriptions.
Yes, but it's difficult to measure without a dedicated tool. To improve your AI visibility, focus on: structured data (Organization, Article, FAQPage), quality content that answers your audience's questions, a presence on sources cited by AI (Wikipedia, review sites, media). The AEO tool then allows you to measure the impact of these actions and identify missed opportunities.
