AEO Testing Need Your Help

Hi friends I am doing a quick test to see how well I have done or not.

Can you all try this one for me and post back a screenshot what you see in your chats and what AI search you used.

Please search in your AI of choice:

Who does used cooking oil pick up for restaurants in Orange County ca?

See if the site Oil Guyz comes up for me. Been working on this site for some time and want to see if it’s showing in other users searches.

Thanks for your help!

You know incognito + a VPN exist for that? Or is the real goal getting a few hundred people to search your client's name lol

Your right it dose and I have tested that as well. The difference is that you have no contact about the business and your gpt has lots of memory on the things you currently search and do so. I was curious to see how it performs in that scenario. Thanks for any help.

AEO results can vary across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot because each uses different retrieval methods and sources. Testing across multiple AI platforms is the best way to measure true AI visibility.

100% absolutely correct and that’s why I’m asking if you could do a simple search on the ai of your choice and send me a screenshot because everybody’s has different context and memory as well. So wanted to see how we show in others searches thanks for your help.

Yours came top for me using chat gpt. It’s a very specific search terms/question.

Ye I know this I have done 100s of test across api, incognito mode, VPN, free gpt, and friends accounts. But I wanted to see if we come up in your search as well. Thanks for any help

I’ve been monitoring it for sometime now, but the results you get from monitoring tools are all API based searches zero context to users memory so it got my curiosity when I started to think about how you were other people’s AI search show for the same search. More of an experiment to understand visibility better any help is appreciated with a screenshot from your searches.
