Common questions.
Short, direct answers about Recommendation Authority, the AEO+ framework, and how Salienci operates.
What is Recommendation Authority?+
Recommendation Authority is the strength of your brand's ability to be accessed, understood, trusted, and selected by AI answer engines.
What is the AEO+ framework?+
AEO+ stands for Access, Extraction, Optimization, and Authority - the four layers Salienci uses to engineer and defend Recommendation Authority.
How is AI visibility different from SEO?+
SEO focuses on rankings and traffic. AI visibility focuses on whether answer engines extract and recommend your brand when users ask decision-based questions.
What does Salienci measure?+
Salienci reviews access, extraction, selection, citation velocity, competitor gaps, content structure, website readiness, and authority signals across 142+ data points.
What is the K-Matrix?+
The K-Matrix is Salienci's diagnostic engine. It maps signals across AEO+ to risk, opportunity, and priority - driving sequencing decisions.
Who should request an Authority Audit?+
Brands that rely on search visibility, expert positioning, category authority, or high-intent discovery through AI answer engines.
Which AI engines do you cover?+
Coverage includes major answer engines and crawlers: ChatGPT/GPTBot, Claude/ClaudeBot, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Bing Copilot, and emerging vertical engines.
How long does an audit take?+
Two business days from submission. Delivery is a private dashboard, not a static PDF.
Is Salienci a replacement for our SEO?+
No. Salienci operates on the layer above SEO. The two are complementary - SEO handles traditional retrieval; Salienci handles AI selection.
