Not Just Ranked by Google. AI search answers are quietly replacing the blue links - being cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity is becoming as important as ranking on Google. Governance Studio audits real AI crawler access and scores citation likelihood against research-backed criteria, alongside traditional SEO, in one run. **$399**per month, flat rate **8**AI crawlers checked **7**dedicated AEO/SEO reports **0**page content sent to the cloud The Opportunity ## Enterprise SEO platforms weren't built for AI search (AEO). Enterprise SEO platforms are priced the same way enterprise accessibility platforms are - annual contracts, per-domain and page-volume tiers, seat-based licensing. Most were also built before AI search existed, so AI crawler access and citation likelihood are not something they measure at all. ### What marketing teams deal with today - Enterprise SEO platforms commonly run $25,000-$150,000+/year\[1\], priced per domain and page-volume tier - Adding a new brand or regional site means a new subscription negotiation and contract - Most platforms report traditional SEO signals only - no AEO coverage, so no visibility into whether AI crawlers like GPTBot or ClaudeBot can even access your pages - No visibility into citation likelihood - whether ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity would actually cite your content in an answer - Per-named-seat licensing means SEO, content, and marketing ops cannot all access the tool without multiplying costs ### What Governance Studio does instead - One flat $399/month license covers every property you own - no domain limits, no per-site tiers, no page caps - Covers both traditional SEO and AEO in one audit - real AI crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and 5 others, not just traditional SEO signals - Scores citation likelihood using a multilingual language model that runs entirely on your desktop - how likely each page is to be cited by AI engines - 7 dedicated AEO/SEO reports per audit, covering on-page SEO, content structure, site reliability, and E-E-A-T trust signals - 5 simultaneous sign-ins, each with their own login, means your whole cross-functional team can work from anywhere **Sources:** \[1\] Enterprise SEO platform pricing: seoClarity published tiers $30,000-$54,000/year; Conductor contract data $26,800-$500,000+/year (median ~$49,000); BrightEdge contract-analysis average ~$12,000-$127,000+/year; Botify $75,000-$400,000+/year for mid-size to enterprise sites. Figures reflect 2026 published pricing and third-party contract-data analysis; none of these vendors publish full list pricing. Citation Scoring ## Research-backed, not a black box. Citation likelihood is scored with a real formula grounded in published research - and it's honest about which signals matter most, and which are still contested. ### What actually moves the score The two highest-weighted factors - quantitative data density and citing or quoting external sources - are drawn directly from Aggarwal et al., "GEO: Generative Engine Optimization," KDD 2024 (Princeton, Georgia Tech, Allen Institute, IIT Delhi) - described in the research as the only peer-reviewed study measuring this directly. A second factor, field-populated FAQ/Q&A schema, draws on Fischman (SSRN 2026), a 730-citation cross-platform study across ChatGPT and Gemini - with the scoring code explicitly noting this specific area is still contested (a separate large-scale Ahrefs study found no effect at all). 2 Peer-reviewed/empirical studies cited directly in the scoring formula 100 Languages the scoring extends to via the embedded model 800M Weekly active ChatGPT users\[2\] - AI search is no longer a niche channel **Sources:** \[2\] OpenAI, reported weekly active user figures, 2026; Gartner, Gartner Survey Finds Only One-Third of Consumers Say GenAI Rivals Search Engines; Marketers Must Optimize for Both AI-Driven and Traditional Search, Gartner newsroom, 2026.

We already use an SEO platform. Why would marketing need this too? + Most enterprise SEO platforms were built before AI search existed, so they don't check AI crawler access or citation likelihood at all - the two things that determine whether ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity will ever surface your content. Governance Studio runs alongside your existing SEO stack and adds that missing AEO layer: 7 dedicated reports per audit covering AI crawler access, citation likelihood, content structure, and E-E-A-T trust signals, scored locally with no page content sent to a third-party cloud. Does the embedded AI model score my content, or is it marketing? + Citation scoring itself is a transparent, rule-based formula grounded in published research - not an AI judgment call. The embedded model's real job is narrower: it extends the same rule-based detectors to work correctly on non-English and non-Latin-script sites, where plain-English keyword matching would otherwise detect nothing. It runs fully offline, with no page content ever transmitted anywhere. Can my whole marketing team use this, or is it per-seat? + Your whole team can be provisioned - 5 people can work simultaneously, each with their own login, at one flat monthly rate. No per-seat counting as your team grows, and no separate contract negotiation to add a new brand or regional site. Is 8 crawlers enough, or are you missing major AI bots? + The 8 tracked crawlers cover OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot and the alternate anthropic-ai user-agent), Perplexity, Google's Gemini/Bard training crawler (Google-Extended), Amazon (Amazonbot), Common Crawl (CCBot, which feeds many third-party models), and Cohere - the current major AI crawler landscape, reviewed as new bots become relevant. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":\[{"@type":"Question","name":"We already use an SEO platform.
