Answer Engine Optimization for Brands

The Problem

A CEO asks ChatGPT who the best tool is in their category and the answer is the competitor. Traditional SEO tools track Google organic rank but ignore the engines users actually ask. Brand teams have no dashboard, no alerting, and no way to tell whether their content strategy is moving the needle inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.

The Scavio Solution

Scavio's ask endpoint runs prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude and returns the answers as structured JSON. Pipe your category prompts through daily, track whether your brand appears, and build an AEO dashboard that shows trend over time. Combine with Scavio search to check whether the pages cited by each engine are the same pages Google ranks.

Who It Is For

Brand marketers, SEO leads, and founders who care whether ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend their product.

Key Benefits

• Daily tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude
• Prompt-level granularity for category research queries
• Alert when a new competitor enters the answer
• Correlates citation changes to content pushes
• Integrates into existing SEO dashboards with a thin adapter

import requests, os
r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/ask',
