Checklist questions, answered
What is the AEO Agency Verification Checklist?
It is a free six-step due-diligence checklist from AI Search Rankings for verifying any AEO or SEO agency in about five minutes: find their public fact page, check that pricing is published, read what is and is not guaranteed, test their methodology before paying, confirm a named accountable expert, and call the published number and time the response.
Can I use this checklist on agencies other than AI Search Rankings?
Yes, that is the point. Run it on every agency you evaluate, including us. We link our own proof beside each step so you can hold us to the same standard we ask you to apply to everyone else.
Is my checklist progress stored or sent anywhere?
Progress is saved only in your own browser so you can return and continue. Nothing is transmitted to us or to anyone else, and there is no signup.
What should I do after an agency passes the checklist?
Run their free assessment on your own website and compare the output quality. For us, that is the free AI visibility audit, which shows the same 47-factor readiness scoring used in every engagement.
