Open-Source AI Visibility & AEO Tracker for Small Businesses

Why Small Business AI SEO Matters Now

You’ve heard of SEO. You’ve read about keywords, backlinks, on-page tweaks. But here’s the twist: your customers aren’t just typing into Google anymore. They’re asking Siri, ChatGPT, Bing AI or Alexa. And these platforms answer differently.

So, if you’re a small business, you need to master small business AI SEO. Not in a complicated way. In a clear, open-source, affordable way.

Think of it like this. Traditional SEO is like fishing with a net. You cast wide, hope to catch plenty. AI visibility is fishing with sonar. You see exactly where the fish are. You drop your bait right there.

The Challenge for SMEs

Small businesses face unique hurdles:

• Limited budget.
• No full-time marketing team.
• Rapidly shifting AI-driven search behaviour.
• Lack of insights on how AI platforms mention their brand.

Traditional tools—SEMrush, Ahrefs, Moz—focus on Google search and charges you a fortune. They’re great. But they don’t track how AI mentions your cafe, your florist, your boutique. That’s where our open-source AEO tracker enters.

Introducing Your Open-Source AEO & Visibility Tracker

We built this tool for small business AI SEO. No fluff. No enterprise price tag. Just code you can trust and tweak.

Key highlights:

• Community-driven. You shape the roadmap.
• Tracks brand mentions in ChatGPT, Bing AI, Siri, Alexa, Perplexity.
• Monitors how AI answers questions about your services.
• Alerts when competitors crop up in AI recommendations.

This isn’t just another web analytics dashboard. It’s your AI listening post.

How It Beats Traditional Tools

Let’s be honest. SEMrush and Ahrefs are powerful. They do plenty. But:

1. They lack AI-specific tracking.
2. They cost small businesses hundreds each month.
3. They use closed systems—no community input.

Our open-source tracker solves these gaps:

• You get AI-specific data, not just keyword volumes.
• You pay zero licence fees.
• You can review and improve the code anytime.

Suddenly, small business AI SEO becomes doable. No technical expertise required.

Real-Life Example: Bella’s Pet Groomers

Imagine Bella. She runs a pet grooming salon in Edinburgh. She’s great with pups. But she can’t tell if AI tools recommend her salon when someone asks, “Best dog groomer near me.”

Before our tracker:

• No idea if Siri or ChatGPT ever mentioned her.
• Uncertain which terms bring foot traffic.
• Spent hours tweaking Google My Business listings.

After plugging into our tracker:

• Instant alerts when her salon pops up in AI answers.
• Insights like “People ask ‘dog grooming prices’ most often at 3 pm.”
• Content suggestions to boost her AEO score.

The result? Bella sees a 30% bump in calls. And her brand trust shoots up because customers know AI already vouches for her.
