How to compare AEO agencies
- Ask for the prompt universe method. Each buyer prompt is close to unique, so ask how prompts are found and not how many are capped.
- Ask which engines are covered. ChatGPT alone is not enough.
- Ask for unprompted mention rate, which means prompts that do not contain your brand name.
- Ask whether results are reported as position and traffic or as mention counts.
- Ask what is billed outside the fee: placements, tools and API credits.
- Ask for the term and the notice period.
