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.

Independent Research · 2026 Documented
01 Problem

EVERYONE SELLS AEO.
ALMOST NOBODY MEASURES IT.

01

Agencies charge thousands for llms.txt.

Zero AI bots actually request the file. You are paying for deliverables the machines ignore.

02

"AI SEO experts" guarantee ChatGPT rankings.

Nobody can guarantee that. The mechanisms are opaque. Anyone promising outcomes is either uninformed or lying.

03

Your current agency does not pull bot logs.

Without log data, any AI visibility strategy is theater. You need to know which bots visit, and how often, or you are guessing.

02 Research

47 LIVE SITES.
REAL BOT LOGS.
ZERO THEORY.

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.

§ SECTION 01 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

[Client]'s website currently ranks 4 out of 10 on the AI Visibility Score. The site has strong schema foundations but is losing citations to competitors because of a stripped RSS feed and missing bilingual hreflang tags…

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.

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.

MISHA

Researcher 2026

I MEASURE WHAT OTHERS PRETEND TO KNOW.

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.

Section 08 / Questions

THINGS BUYERS ASK
BEFORE BOOKING.

Can you guarantee I'll appear in ChatGPT or Claude?
No, and neither can anyone else. AI model behavior is opaque and changes frequently. What I guarantee is that your infrastructure will be measurably better after implementation and that you'll have real data about where you stand. Any "AI SEO expert" who promises guaranteed rankings is either uninformed or lying to you.
How is this different from a regular SEO audit?
A regular SEO audit optimizes for Google's ranking algorithms. An AI visibility audit measures how AI systems discover, consume, and cite your site - which is a different technical problem. My audit covers the specific signals AI fetchers care about and pulls real bot log data to show what's actually happening.
What do you need from me to start?
Access to your server logs or CDN dashboard (Cloudflare, WPEngine, Kinsta, AWS CloudFront - whatever you run), a brief on your business and target queries, and a list of 2-3 primary competitors. If you don't have log access, I'll help you set it up before the audit begins.
How long does it take?
7 to 10 business days from when I receive your log data and brief. I deliver the PDF, the screenshot appendix, and a companion spreadsheet of the full schema inventory. Then we book a 30-minute call to walk through the findings.
What if I want you to implement the fixes?
We'll discuss it on the results call if it's a fit. Implementation engagements run $5,000 to $12,000 depending on scope and are optional. Most clients do Tier 1 themselves or with their existing dev team and only bring me in for the harder pieces.
Do you work with small businesses?
I work with businesses where AI visibility has real revenue implications - typically law firms, medical practices, and finance companies where a single AI citation can be worth tens of thousands. If you're a side project or very small local business, there are cheaper options that will serve you better.
Why should I trust your research?
Because you can verify it. I publish my methodology, findings, and the raw logic behind the AI Visibility Score on YouTube and in long-form write-ups. If anything in the audit doesn't line up with what you can measure on your own site, I refund the engagement.
