AEO Tracking

SearchDock AEO Tracking shows how often your brand is named and cited in AI-generated answers — with every prompt run multiple times so you see the average citation rate, not one lucky response.

Why both dashboards matter

The 12% problem

Only about 12% of the URLs ChatGPT cites rank in Google's top 10. Ranking and being cited are two different games. Most teams pay for two tools to play both. SearchDock is one.

SearchDock tracks Google rankings from Search Console and AI citations from multi-pass prompt sampling in one nav — Websites, Pages, Keywords, Competitors, GSC, and Crawl alongside your AEO Score.

Source: independent analyses of ChatGPT citation overlap with Google top-10 results (2025–2026). SearchDock measures both channels so you see the full picture.

How SearchDock aeo tracking works

Multi-pass citation sampling

Every tracked prompt runs 5+ times per engine. SearchDock reports the average mention and citation rate because AI answers change run to run.

AEO Score (0–100)

The SearchDock AEO Score is a 0–100 composite of citation frequency, passage extractability, entity clarity, and content freshness across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.

Competitor citation share

See which competitors win each prompt set side by side — citation rate, mention sentiment, and the URLs models quote.

In your dashboard

Citations and rankings on one screen

AEO Tracking lives next to Google Search Console rankings in the same workspace. Only about 12% of ChatGPT-cited URLs rank in Google's top 10 — SearchDock shows both numbers so you know which channel needs work.
