Frequently asked questions
Everything about SEO, GEO, AEO and how SEOany works.
General
What is SEOany?
SEOany is an autonomous AI agent that gets your site found everywhere people search. Describe an outcome — “audit my site”, “win this keyword”, “get cited in ChatGPT” — and a specialist agent plans the work, runs it in an isolated sandbox, and ships the fixes end-to-end: audits, content briefs, schema, internal links, even pull requests against your repo.
How is SEOany different from an SEO tool or an agency?
Tools like Ahrefs or Semrush give you data and leave the work to you. Agencies do the work but bill retainers and move at meeting speed. SEOany actually executes — it crawls, diagnoses, writes and ships fixes autonomously, and you pay per unit of work with transparent credits, not a retainer.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
No. You talk to your SEO team in plain language and review what they produce. If you connect GitHub, the agent proposes changes as pull requests, so an engineer (or the agent itself) can merge them — you never have to touch code yourself.
What do I need to connect to get value?
Nothing is required to start — the agent can audit any public site. Connecting Google Search Console and GA4 unlocks real query and traffic data for prioritization, and connecting GitHub, Cloudflare, Vercel or WordPress lets the agent ship fixes where your site actually lives.
How does pricing work?
You buy credits and spend them per task — a full technical audit is roughly 50 credits, a content brief about 30. Credits cover the agent's compute and model tokens. There is no seat fee and no retainer; start free with the included credits, no card required.

What's the difference between SEO, GEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) wins rankings on classic search engines like Google and Bing. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets your brand cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Claude. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) wins direct answers — featured snippets, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, voice assistants. They overlap, but each rewards different work: rankings reward authority and technical health, citations reward being the clearest, best-structured source for a claim.
Can SEOany really get me cited by ChatGPT?
No one can guarantee a citation — anyone who promises one is guessing. What reliably moves the needle: being the canonical source for specific claims, clean entity markup, quotable self-contained passages, llms.txt, and presence in the sources AI engines retrieve from. SEOany audits your citation-readiness, ships those fixes, and tracks where you're actually cited over time.
What is an llms.txt file and do I need one?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at your site root that gives AI crawlers a curated map of your most important content — like robots.txt, but for steering AI models toward your canonical pages rather than blocking them. It's cheap insurance: takes minutes to generate (SEOany does it automatically) and makes it easier for AI engines to cite you accurately.
How long until I see results?
Technical fixes (Core Web Vitals, indexability, schema) typically show impact within days to weeks as pages get recrawled. Content and authority plays compound over months. AI citations can move surprisingly fast — answer engines refresh their retrieval more often than classic rankings shift.
Does AI-generated content hurt rankings?
Google's own position is that it rewards helpful content regardless of how it's produced, and penalizes mass-produced filler regardless of who wrote it. SEOany writes from your actual data — your product, your keywords, your entities — and every draft is a brief you review, not spam published behind your back.
