Turn AI-cited sources and customer reviews into content ideas, AI drafts, and published pages.

What Content Optimization Is

AI engines cite external sources — blogs, communities, news, review platforms — when they compose answers. The Optimize → Content Optimization page shows you which sources AI answers about your brand actually cited, and turns that evidence into recommendations for the content you should create next.

The page has two tabs.

  • Content Ideas: recommends content work based on sources AI engines cited in the last 30 days and your customer reviews. (Pro and above)
  • Cited Content: inspect the sources cited in AI answers that mention your brand, by channel. The source list is visible on every plan.

Cited Content Tab

Lists the sources cited in AI answers that mention your brand. For each source, AEKO checks whether your brand name actually appears in the saved title and body — so you know immediately whether the page AI cited really talks about you.

Filters

Narrow by date range (7/30/90 days or all, default 30), channel (Naver Blog, Tistory, Reddit, Korean communities, news, review sites, wikis, and more), and brand presence (found in title / found in body / brand not found / page text unavailable).

Source cards

Each card shows the channel badge, brand-presence badges, citation count, a saved-content excerpt with the brand names found, and the prompts where the source was cited (with AI platform badges). Clicking the title opens the original page in a new tab.

Check with AI Pro and above

Run a deep check on any source in AI. The button opens Claude in a new tab with the check command prepared. (Requires the AEKO Agents connection — see the Agents Setup guide.)

Content Ideas Tab Pro and above

Recommends content work as cards, grounded in the last 30 days of citation data and your customer reviews. Ideas aren't stored; they're recomputed from fresh evidence every time you open the tab. Only your dismissed and started states persist.

Every recommendation carries an evidence badge. AEKO doesn't invent ideas from guesses. Each badge states a fact verified in stored data.

Evidence badges

  • Competitor found: a registered competitor was confirmed in the cited page's text and your brand is absent — the most urgent gap
  • Brand not found: the cited page's text was read and your brand isn't there (shows Partially checked when only some pages were readable)
  • Page text unavailable: the channel can't be read (e.g. Reddit), but the number of times AI cited this source for your tracked prompt is a verified fact
  • Customer context: grounded in recurring questions and concerns from your connected customer reviews

Filters

Narrow by action type (community engagement / new content / media pitches / platform & data), channel (Naver Blog, Tistory, Reddit, news & magazines, review platforms, wikis, YouTube, and more), and evidence badge.

Idea cards

Each card shows the source favicon, venue, an action-oriented title (answer this thread, pitch this publication), and an evidence summary (citations · sources · last cited). View evidence expands the related questions, the sources to review, and any competitors confirmed in them.

Dismiss

Hide ideas you don't care about with the X in the card's top-right corner. Dismissed ideas won't be recommended again.

Drafting with AI

Each card's action button matches the work type: Draft reply for community answers, Draft post for blogs, Draft pitch for media contributions, Video brief for video.

Clicking the button opens Claude in a new tab with the idea's handoff snapshot: the tracked prompt, market and language, verified source excerpts, your product descriptions, and connected customer reviews. The AI drafts only from that verified evidence. Ideas you've already started reopen with Reopen in AI.

Before you publish

Before posting a community reply, check the page status and community rules, and disclose your brand affiliation. AEKO prepares the draft — whether and how to publish is always your decision.

Creating Your Own Ideas

You don't have to wait for recommendations. The New content idea button opens a two-step form.

  • Step 1 — Idea setup: pick the channel and topic
  • Step 2 — Data sources: choose the scope (brand-wide or specific products), keywords, language, and extra instructions

Idea History and Publish Status

Ideas you've started or created yourself accumulate in the history table at the bottom of the page. Each row lets you manage the status (plan created / completed) and continue drafting with the Run in AI button.

Publishing drafts to your store blog or AEKO Shop happens through the AEKO Agents (MCP) connection, and results appear as badges on the history row — saved, published, or failed, per destination. Failed publishes show a retry command right on the row.

New to the agents connection?

Run in AI and publishing require the AEKO Agents (MCP) connection. See the Agents Setup guide for Claude Desktop and Claude Code setup.
