Most AEO advice in 2026 is guesswork dressed as strategy. I run continuous research across 47 live sites to measure what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI actually consume - and turn that into an audit that tells you exactly where you stand.
Zero AI bots actually request the file. You are paying for deliverables the machines ignore.
Nobody can guarantee that. The mechanisms are opaque. Anyone promising outcomes is either uninformed or lying.
Without log data, any AI visibility strategy is theater. You need to know which bots visit, and how often, or you are guessing.
I instrumented a network of 47 live websites with seven content formats consultants tell clients to build - enriched RSS feeds, inline schema, standalone JSON-LD endpoints, post markdown, llms.txt, and more.
Then I piped every bot request from every site into one dashboard and watched what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and search spiders actually consumed. The results contradict most of the AEO advice being sold right now.
Your site scored across schema, RSS, HTML, bot accessibility, freshness, linking, and citation presence in all four major AI surfaces.
Weeks of your server or CDN data, separated into search spiders and AI fetchers. Which bots visit. What they request. How often.
30+ target queries run through ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI. Captured with screenshots. Real citation data.
Top three competitors scored on the same 10 dimensions. You see where you lag, where you lead. No fluff.
Every fix rated on Impact, Effort, Urgency. Tier 1 - 30 days. Tier 2 - 90 days. Tier 3 - ongoing.
Every recommendation specific enough to hand to a developer. Real JSON-LD. Real plugin settings. Real URLs.
One page from a real delivered audit, client details redacted. The full document runs 18 pages - executive summary, methodology, technical audit, bot traffic analysis, citation baseline, competitive benchmark, prioritized recommendations, and appendices.

Misha pulled three weeks of our Cloudflare logs and showed us ChatGPT was hitting our RSS feed 40 times a day - while our agency insisted AI bots weren't visiting. We fired that agency the same week.Director of Marketing
The competitive benchmark alone was worth it. We found out our top competitor had nine schema types we didn't - which explained why they were showing in Perplexity and we weren't.Chief Marketing Officer
Other "AEO experts" sent a 6-page template. Misha sent 18 pages with real log data, screenshots, and a fix list a developer could ship tomorrow. Worth every dollar.Founder & CEO

The audit is the product. No retainer bait. No "strategy call" upsell loop.
If implementation makes sense after, we discuss it on the results call. No pressure.
Need someone to implement the fixes? After the audit, I offer a separate implementation engagement priced per scope ($5,000-$12,000 typical). We discuss it on the results call if it's a fit. No upsell pressure.
I run an independent AI visibility research practice from my own network of 47 live websites. Before this, I spent years doing the technical SEO work most agencies outsource - schema markup on bilingual legal sites, hreflang and custom post type architecture, RankMath Pro at expert level, and incident response on compromised WordPress installations.
That background is why this audit goes deeper than what you get from a generalist agency running a single checklist. I know where the real levers are because I've pulled them - for real clients, on real sites, with measurable outcomes.
I publish research weekly on YouTube and in long-form write-ups here on mishamanko.com. If you want to see the methodology before engaging, start there.
Book the audit. In 10 business days, you'll know exactly where you stand and exactly what to fix.
