How every article is made.

Free AI visibility check
  1. Map the questions

    We split each topic into the 20 or so questions AI search asks underneath it.

    You get: a fan-out map for each topic.

  2. Ask your experts

    Before any draft, we send your team the questions only they can answer.

    You get: a short question list.

  3. Build a fact sheet

    Every number and claim gets a named source, newest first.

    You get: a sourced fact sheet.

  4. Draft with AI

    AI writes the first draft from the fan-out map, the fact sheet and your team’s answers.

    You get: a draft built only from sourced facts.

  5. Edit by hand

    An editor rewrites generic lines, checks every fact against its source and flags anything unconfirmed.

    You get: a draft you can trust.

  6. Publish and verify

    Titles, headings, internal links and schema, then a check of the live page and an index request.

    You get: a live, indexed page.

What AI searches underneath.

A buyer asks AI one question. Underneath, AI runs seven smaller searches. One article that answers all seven gets cited.

The question

The searches

  1. Comparative payroll tools compared on price
  2. Implicit what to look for in payroll software
  3. Entity-expanded payroll with accounting sync
  4. Related how long does payroll setup take?
  5. Reformulation easiest payroll for a startup
  6. Personalized payroll for contractors abroad
  7. Recent payroll rule changes in 2026

What gets cited

One article answers all seven cited

Illustrative example, not client data. Each AfterShip article was planned from about 20 sub-questions across these seven types.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask.

Free AI visibility check
What are AEO and GEO?

Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) mean making your pages the sources AI tools quote when they answer a buyer’s question. Those tools include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO earns a place on a results page. AEO earns a citation inside the answer. The groundwork overlaps: crawlable pages, clear structure and trustworthy sources help both. AEO adds planning around the follow-up questions AI tools search for, and answers written so they can be quoted directly.

Do you write with AI?

Yes, for first drafts. Each draft is built from a fact sheet of sourced claims and your team’s answers, then edited by hand. Anything we can’t verify is cut or flagged to you.

How do you check facts?

Every claim in an article names its source, such as G2 reviews, a Reddit thread, an app store listing or the product’s own docs. We check each one before publishing and flag anything we can’t confirm.

What’s in the free check?

We take 10 questions your buyers ask, run them through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews, and record who gets cited. You get the results and three fixes to start with, by email within 3 business days.

How soon will we see results?

A page can show up in AI answers soon after it is crawled and indexed, which can take days or weeks. Most programs need a few months of steady publishing before citations add up. We report what can be checked in public, and we don’t promise rankings or citations.
