# AEOscore

> AEOscore (aeoscore.co.uk) is the UK AI visibility service that tracks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode mention your business, then makes the fixes and shows you what moved. Not affiliated with aeoscore.io (AEO Optimizer, a free page-readiness checker), aeoscore.eu (AEOScore, an AI visibility consultancy in Romania), aeoscore.ai (AEOGuide, an AEO guide and newsletter with a scoring tool), aeoscore.app (AEO Auditor, a free automated visibility audit) or aeoscored.com (AEO Score, a free page grader).

AEO stands for answer engine optimisation. AEOscore runs weekly scans of real buyer questions (daily on its top tier) across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, scores the answers, and writes a fix plan for every gap it finds. It also surfaces the directories, roundups, Reddit threads, videos and forum posts AI engines cite instead of you, flags new rivals the engines keep naming, and tracks whether each fix actually moved the answers. On its top tier the changes are made for you: a strategist and developer day every month, on your site and your channels. Pricing is public, in pounds: Monitor £99 a month, Monitor + Strategist £1,495 a month (monthly, cancel anytime), and a one-off £395 AI Visibility Audit credited against the first month. The £49 Starter plan was retired in August 2026. Built and run in the UK by Goreblimey Ltd, Cheltenham (est. 2011). Written AEOscore, one word; "AEO score" with a space is the generic term for the metric.
