AEO for AI search
AEO tools help a site appear in AI-driven search and in traditional search, aimed at bringing in traffic from both.
What users say
Pros
- Custom marketing sites built in the visual editor look more polished than typical AI-generated or coded pages.
- Marketing pages can be edited and published directly without code changes or engineering tickets.
- Client sites stay online even when the hosting platform itself goes down.
- Designs from Figma or Claude push into a live site quickly through the MCP integration.
Cons
- Repeated price rises and repackaged plans push small client sites off the platform.
- Hosting a single small portfolio or landing page costs more than the site earns.
- Help requests route through an AI chatbot that fails to resolve account and setup problems.
- The interface requires weeks of study before a first site can be published.
- Changing one heading or style applies across the whole site and can leave pages broken.
- Annual plans renew without notice and refunds are refused once the charge lands.
