New Feature: AI SEO Optimization (AEO/GEO)
Priority: 🟡 Pre-launch
Area: SEO / AI Visibility
Competitive Reference: Jasper (SEO, AEO & GEO), Semrush (AI SEO + Content Optimization), Jasper Optimization Agent
Why This Matters
The SEO landscape has shifted. Traditional SEO (rank on Google SERP) is now just one pillar. Two new pillars have emerged:
- AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): Optimizing content to appear in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Ensuring your brand appears when LLMs generate responses about your industry
Jasper has an entire “Optimization Agent” and Semrush has “AI SEO” as a top-level feature. Leadmetrics has a ai-visibility-monitor agent but it only monitors — it doesn’t optimize.
What Leadmetrics Has Today
ai-visibility-monitoragent — checks if tenant’s brand appears in LLM responses (monitor only)ai-visibility-seederagent — exists but unclear implementationkeyword-researcheragent — traditional keyword research (Google-focused)site-auditoragent — technical SEO auditscontent-brief-writeragent — creates SEO content briefs- SEO dashboard pages: keywords, keyword groups, link building, backlinks
- Google Search Console integration — keyword rankings, impressions, CTR
- No AEO content optimization — no agent rewrites content to be more “AI-answer friendly”
- No GEO tracking — no systematic tracking of brand mentions across AI engines
- No content optimization scoring — no on-page SEO score for generated content
Proposed Implementation
Part A — Content SEO Score (On-Page)
After blog-writer generates content, run an SEO scoring pass:
interface SeoScore {
overall: number; // 0-100
keywordDensity: number; // target keyword usage
headingStructure: number; // H1/H2/H3 hierarchy
readability: number; // Flesch-Kincaid score
metaDescription: number; // length + keyword inclusion
internalLinks: number; // links to other tenant content
imageAlt: number; // alt text quality
schemaMarkup: boolean; // structured data recommended?
contentLength: number; // vs. SERP competitors
aeoReadiness: number; // structured for AI extraction
}Display on blog detail page as a sidebar score card with actionable recommendations.
Part B — AEO Optimization
New agent capability or prompt enhancement:
- Structure content with clear Q&A sections (FAQ schema)
- Include concise, quotable “answer paragraphs” at the top of sections
- Add structured data (JSON-LD) recommendations
- Use authoritative citations and statistics
- Score content for “AI citation probability”
Part C — GEO Monitoring Dashboard
Enhance ai-visibility-monitor:
- Systematically query ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode for industry-relevant questions
- Track whether the tenant’s brand appears in responses
- Track competitor brand mentions in the same queries
- Dashboard showing:
- “You appear in X% of AI responses for your top keywords”
- Trend over time
- Competitor comparison
- Recommended actions to improve AI visibility
Part D — Optimization Agent (Jasper-style)
New agent: seo-optimizer
- Input: published blog post URL or draft content
- Actions:
- Analyze current on-page SEO score
- Research SERP competitors for the target keyword
- Suggest and optionally auto-apply optimizations:
- Better title tag / meta description
- Internal linking opportunities
- Content gap fills (topics competitors cover but we don’t)
- Schema markup additions
- AEO-friendly restructuring
