AI Search Engine & LLM Coverage

The AI search landscape is fragmented. Your customers get answers from a variety of platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AIO, and more, each with its own unique algorithm and user base.

To get a complete picture, you need visibility across this diverse ecosystem. However, a winning strategy isn't about tracking the most engines—it's about tracking the right engines with the most depth.

Your AEO strategy must account for the market leaders where your audience is most active, from conversational platforms like ChatGPT to the generative experiences transforming the world's largest search engine, Google (AIO and AI Mode).

Why a One-Size-Fits-All AEO Strategy Fails

Each AI search engine has a unique "digital brain." Platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini use different algorithms, are trained on different data sets, and serve different user needs. Content that is highly visible on a research-focused engine like Perplexity may not perform the same way in a broad conversational model like ChatGPT.

Because of this, a generic, one-size-fits-all approach to Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is ineffective. A winning strategy requires visibility into these platform-specific nuances so you can tailor your content to perform best where your audience is most active.

How Conductor Provides Deeper, More Actionable Insights

Conductor is built to provide the strategic depth you need to navigate the multi-engine AI landscape.

Comprehensive Coverage, Unmatched Depth

To get a complete picture of your visibility, you need comprehensive coverage across the entire AI ecosystem. Conductor provides this by supporting the platforms that define the market today—from Google AIO and AI Mode to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

But true AEO leadership requires more than just a long list of supported engines. While other tools may offer shallow, surface-level tracking, Conductor provides unmatched strategic depth.

We empower you with the granular, actionable insights—like our unique ability to track ChatGPT's 'Auto' vs. 'Search' modes—that you can't find anywhere else. With Conductor, you get the best of both worlds: the breadth to see the whole market and the depth to win it.

The Critical Difference: Tracking ChatGPT "Auto" vs. "Search" Mode

A truly advanced AEO strategy requires understanding how an AI engine uses different data sources. Conductor has the unique ability to track your visibility across both ChatGPT modes:

• "Search" Mode: In this mode, ChatGPT always uses a live web search to formulate its answer. Your strategy should be to focus on real-time relevance by optimizing content for live web discovery, much like traditional SEO.
• "Auto" Mode: In its default mode, ChatGPT intelligently decides whether to perform a live web search or rely on its vast, foundational training data. Your strategy should aim to build long-term authority to influence its training data and diagnose which topics currently trigger a live web search.

This unique, dual-pronged insight allows you to build a sophisticated AEO strategy that balances long-term authority building with short-term tactical relevance.
