What AEO Optimizer Pro is built to do.

MarketMuse tells you how well individual pages cover a topic. AEO Optimizer Pro builds the cluster strategy that makes every page compound — with a publish sequence and AI citation scoring layer on top.

Build the authority plan. Not just the content score.

MarketMuse scores individual pages against the competitive content landscape. AEO Optimizer Pro operates at the cluster level — generating the full pillar + cluster architecture for a topic, sequencing what to publish first, and mapping your existing content to find the gaps.

  • Full cluster structure generated from a single topic input.
  • Every page ranked by authority impact — know what to build first.
  • Prioritised publish sequence that compounds authority fastest.

Start from your existing site.

MarketMuse audits your content inventory for quality and competitiveness. AEO Optimizer Pro maps your entire site to topic clusters, scores each cluster by completion percentage, and identifies the exact pages missing — so you know which topics are 2 pages away from full authority.

  • Import via GSC or XML sitemap — every existing URL mapped to a cluster.
  • Cluster completion score so you never rebuild what's already close to done.
  • Missing pages added to your plan, ranked by authority impact.

Score for AI citations. Not just Google rankings.

MarketMuse doesn't have an AEO layer. AEO Optimizer Pro scores every page in your cluster by its potential to be cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — and gives actionable guidance to improve each score. Build authority that works across traditional search and AI-generated answers.

  • AEO Fit Score for every page in your cluster plan.
  • Guidance on what makes content citation-worthy for AI engines.
  • Build for organic rankings and AI citations simultaneously.
