Frequently Asked Questions
What is AIFSO™?
AIFSO stands for Artificial Intelligence Full-Stack Optimization. It's a proprietary 11-layer diagnostic framework that measures how well your website is optimized for AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — not just traditional search engines.
What is Scout?
Scout is your personal AI intelligence agent. It continuously monitors how major AI platforms perceive and reference your brand, alerting you to changes in visibility, competitor movements, and optimization opportunities.
Is this the same as SEO?
No. Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's search crawler. AIFSO™ optimizes for AI language models that generate answers. Structured data, entity recognition, citation networks, and content clarity matter more than backlinks and keywords alone.
Which AI platforms does Scout test?
Scout queries 6 major AI platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Llama (Meta), and Grok (xAI). Each platform is tested with real-world prompts relevant to your industry.
How is the readiness score calculated?
Your overall AIFSO™ readiness score is the average of 11 layer scores, each rated 0-10. Layers cover content relevance, performance, entity optimization, generative engine readiness, structured data, and more.
How often can I scan?
Free users get 1 scan per month. Paid plans range from 4 scans/month (Delta) to unlimited (Command). Paid plans also include automated monitoring.
Does Scout store my data?
Yes, scan results are stored securely to enable historical tracking and trend analysis. Your data is encrypted and never shared with third parties.
