AEO Audit is a free tool that scores B2B SaaS websites for AI search visibility — how likely they are to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews when B2B buyers search.

What is AI Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AI Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring content, entity signals, and technical infrastructure so that AI engines cite your brand in generated answers. It extends traditional SEO to cover ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

How does AEO Audit score websites?

AEO Audit scores across six pillars: AI Visibility (22%), Brand Authority (23%), Content Quality (18%), Platform Optimization (15%), Structured Data (12%), and Technical AEO (10%). Each pillar reflects specific signals that AI engines use when deciding which sources to cite.

Evaluation stage

The battleground

How brands fare on comparison queries · category median 34/100

Sage 300 scores highest in comparison queries with an average evaluation score of 36, edging Oracle Sales Performance Management's 31. Both sit near the median of 34, and both appear in just 4 head-to-head audits. The narrow score gap and limited comparison sample suggest weak brand differentiation when buyers pit FP&A tools against each other.

Each brand's evaluation score averages how AI responds to head-to-head comparison queries that mention them. Above-median brands win their comparisons more often than they lose.

Trends

Over the last 12 months

Too few audits to establish a trend. Only two monthly data points exist (March and April 2026, sample sizes of 2 and 4 respectively), with the category average moving from 61 to 64. Sage 300 shows a +10 delta as the sole rising brand, but the sparse sample precludes meaningful pattern recognition.

FAQ

FP&A questions, answered

What is the best FP&A software?+

No single platform dominates AI citations in FP&A. Across 17 shortlist-style queries, zero brands achieved even 1% coverage. Sage 300 and Oracle Sales Performance Management lead comparison audits with scores of 36 and 31, but the fragmented landscape means no vendor consistently surfaces as the go-to recommendation.

How does Sage 300 compare to Oracle Sales Performance Management for FP&A?+

Sage 300 outscores Oracle SPM 36 to 31 on average across 4 head-to-head comparison queries. Sage 300 also posted the category's highest recent audit score at 68 versus Oracle's 63. Both sit close to the 34 median, reflecting weak differentiation in this vertical.

Which FP&A tools are gaining traction in AI recommendations?+

Sage 300 shows a +10 delta in recent audits, the only rising brand in the dataset. However, only two months of trend data exist (March and April 2026), making it premature to call this sustained momentum. No other vendor exhibits measurable upward movement.

Are there any dominant FP&A platforms in AI search results?+

No. The category's 0% shortlist coverage rate across 17 discovery queries means no brand consistently appears in AI-generated software recommendations. Even the top-scored tools—Sage 300 and Oracle SPM—lack widespread citation at the awareness stage.

What is the average citation score for FP&A software?+

The category average is 65.5 across 28 tracked brands. Sage 300's 68 and Oracle SPM's 63 flank this mean, while the median evaluation score sits at 34. The wide gap between category average and evaluation median points to a long tail of rarely cited vendors inflating the overall figure.
