SEO-AI Gap Analysis

SEO-AI gap analysis compares your Google rankings with your AI mention rates to find where the two channels disagree. This page explains the technique.

This capability was part of the paid AEO Platform product, which closed on 2026-10-02. It is not available. This page explains the technique for reference.

Quick answer
Ranking on the first page of Google does not guarantee that AI engines will mention you, and being recommended by ChatGPT does not mean you rank well in search. SEO-AI gap analysis compares your Google positions with your AI engine mention rates to reveal the gaps between these two discovery channels.
How it works

SEO-AI Gap Analysis in detail

Pull your ranking positions from Google Search Console or a rank tracker for your target keywords. Then measure your AI mention rate for the same topics, using the matching prompts in each engine you care about.

Map each keyword to its equivalent AI prompt family. For example, the keyword "best CRM for startups" maps to prompts like "What CRM should a startup use?" and "Recommend a CRM for early-stage companies." This mapping allows direct comparison: you may rank third on Google for the keyword but appear in only 10% of AI responses for the prompt family.

Plot each keyword by SEO position on one axis and AI mention rate on the other. For each point, list the ranking page, the AI answers that mention you, and the action that would close the gap. Work through one quadrant at a time.
