# AEO Inspector – AEO Tracking

> AEO Inspector – AEO Tracking is a paid API for AI agents from aeoinspector.com, paid per call via x402, $19/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Starts or registers ongoing AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) tracking for a website, scheduling periodic checks of how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI can crawl, read, and cite it.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aeo-inspector-aeo-tracking-21819d56 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up ongoing AEO tracking for mysite.com so I get email alerts whenever ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI change how they crawl or cite it — I want to see how my score evolves over multiple runs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to continuously monitor a website's AEO performance over time rather than running a one-off audit. It is ideal when you want scheduled, recurring checks and email alerts about how AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI perceive a site, rather than a single-snapshot score.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed request body causes 400 error
- Invalid body type enum value (not json/form-data/text) causes validation failure
- Payment not completed (x402 protocol) results in 402 Payment Required response
- Server-side scheduling failure may return 500 with no token issued
- Duplicate submissions for the same URL may create redundant tracking tokens

## How this service works

Free AEO grader: check if ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI can crawl, read and cite your site. Score out of 100, a prioritized fix list, no signup.

## Output

Returns a tracking token and a shareable tracking URL for the registered website, along with the number of AEO scan runs completed so far, the total runs planned, the timestamp for the next scheduled run, and whether email alerts are active.
