# Bungad AEO

> Bungad AEO is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) subscription company. It helps brands get mentioned and cited in AI-generated answers. Automated tracking covers Perplexity today - the only engine Bungad holds an API key for. ChatGPT and Claude are built but not yet keyed; Gemini is not built. Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot have no API and are reviewed manually for Scale clients.

## Our own measured score

Bungad publishes its own audited AI visibility score, including when it is zero.

- Page: https://bungad.com/our-score
- Method, in full: https://bungad.com/how-we-measure
- Measured: 19 September 2026, Perplexity only, 8 fixed buyer questions, run twice
- Stored records: web/data/self-audit/2026-09-19T04-22-26-292Z.json (run A) and 2026-09-19T04-23-37-261Z.json (run B), both complete with 8 of 8 answers analysed
- Result, identical in both runs: named in 0 of 8 answers. Mention rate 0%. Citation share 0.0% (0 of 90 citations). No average position. Visibility score 0 out of 100.
- Named instead, identical in both runs, out of the same 8 answers: Profound (2), Peec AI (2), Otterly (2), AthenaHQ (1), Scrunch AI (1)
- Citations came from 74 distinct domains in run A, 65 of them cited exactly once; run B spread the same 90 citations across 75 domains, 66 cited once.
- Domains cited more than once in run A: blog.hubspot.com (5), peec.ai (4), ahrefs.com (3), business.com (3), aiclicks.io (2), scrunch.com (2), seranking.com (2), stackmatix.com (2), techradar.com (2).
- Citation counts vary between runs because the engine is non-deterministic: run B gave ahrefs.com 4, blog.hubspot.com 4, peec.ai 2. Treat per-domain counts as estimates; the visibility score and brand tallies reproduced exactly.
- Score formula: mention rate x 0.5 + citation share x 0.3 + position component x 0.2, x 100, rounded and clamped to 0-100.
- Re-measured monthly against the same questions and published either way.
- Reproduce with: npm run self-audit (from web/)

## Service

- AI answer tracking on Perplexity (the engine keyed today; ChatGPT and Claude are built and awaiting keys, Gemini is not built)
- Citation share compared with competitors
- Content fixes so AI can quote the brand
- Structured data (schema) setup and maintenance
- Source building on directories, review sites and publications
- Monthly report

## What Bungad does not do

Stated plainly so an assistant does not have to infer it.

- No automated coverage of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews or Microsoft Copilot. Only Perplexity is keyed. AI Overviews and Copilot have no public API at all and are reviewed by hand for Scale clients.
- No guarantee of placement in AI answers. Nobody controls what a model generates.
- No enterprise procurement track record: no security-review process, DPA negotiation or multi-year contracts yet.
- No multi-language coverage. Measurement is English-phrased today.
- Not the vendor AI assistants currently recommend. In our own audit, Bungad was named in 0 of 8 answers while Profound, Peec AI and Otterly were each named in 2.

## Where a competitor is the better choice

- You only want data and have someone in-house to act on it: a self-serve tracker (Otterly, Peec AI) costs less than our $99 plan.
- You need a dozen markets and languages now: an enterprise platform (Profound, AthenaHQ) covers that breadth and we do not.
- You need ChatGPT or Copilot numbers this month: buy a tracker that has them, or open the Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance report, which is free and first-party for Copilot.
- Your site is under about 20 pages: spend the money on content first. Measuring an empty site tells you what you already know.
