Getting Started

Sign up, add your domain, and run your first AI visibility scan.

5 min read

Sign Up

Go to aeko-intelligence.com and click "Get Started." You sign in with your Microsoft account — click "Sign in with Microsoft" and your account is created without a separate password.

After your first sign-in, onboarding continues: enter your domain → choose a plan → select markets → register a payment card. The Starter plan's 7-day free trial also starts after card registration, and you land in the dashboard once it's done.

Add Your Domain

During onboarding, enter the domain you want to monitor and pick your primary industry. Use your root domain (e.g., mybrand.com). Subdomains like shop.mybrand.com can be added separately later.

At the end of onboarding, AEKO runs a quick check of your site's baseline AEO readiness. The full technical audit runs from the dashboard's Optimize → Technical Checkup page.

What the Onboarding Checklist Covers

  • llms.txt: whether the AI-engine guidance file exists
  • robots.txt: whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, Google-Extended, etc.) are blocked
  • JSON-LD: presence of structured data

Your First Results

After onboarding you arrive at the Analyze dashboard. Since tracking data hasn't accumulated yet, start by running Optimize → Technical Checkup to assess your site's technical readiness.

The checkup covers search-bot crawlability, indexability, AI-crawler access, structured data, and llms.txt (optional items included). If robots.txt blocks AI crawlers, you'll see an immediate fix suggestion, and every finding becomes a ready-to-run improvement guide card.

AI Readiness vs. AI Visibility

The readiness score measures your technical foundation (infrastructure), while the AI visibility score measures how often you're actually mentioned in AI responses. Strong infrastructure is a prerequisite for strong visibility.

Add Your First Prompts

Navigate to Analyze → Prompt Tracking in the sidebar and start adding prompts. The tracking modal lets you browse the prompt library, organized by industry, or type your own. Once added, AEKO starts collecting AI engine responses on a regular schedule.

For example, if you sell Korean beauty products, you might add "best Korean sunscreen for sensitive skin." AEKO sends this prompt to ChatGPT, Gemini, and other engines, then tracks which brands appear in the responses.

How to Add Prompts

  • Browse library: pick from pre-categorized prompts by industry and intent
  • Custom prompts: type your own prompt and add it directly
  • Market settings: set the target country and language for each prompt

Next Steps

Your basic setup is complete. AEKO is now collecting data, and your first tracking results will appear within a few days depending on your plan's tracking frequency.

Tip

Start with the Technical Checkup and Content Optimization pages in the Optimize section. AEKO organizes its findings into improvement guides you can run immediately. Tackle the high-priority items first for the fastest impact on your visibility.

Install the AEKO Agent (Optional)

Beyond viewing data in the dashboard, the AEKO Agent gives Claude, Cursor, and Codex direct access to your AEKO data. More than twenty slash-command skills let you rewrite PDPs, generate multi-channel content, and tune JSON-LD & llms.txt — all from inside your IDE or chat.

Three-step install

  • 1. In Settings → AEKO Agents, copy the MCP connector command
  • 2. Copy the aeko-plugin marketplace command → installs the skills
  • 3. Run /aeko-onboarding in Claude / Codex → verifies install + customize for your brand
