AEO audit for industrial manufacturing companies
SourceRank AI's AEO audit shows an industrial manufacturing company where ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews name it today, which providers they name instead, and the 90-day plan to change that. It costs $497, one time, and is credited toward your first month if you start a plan within 30 days.

Up to 25 of your buyers' questions
Agreed with you before the run and phrased the way your buyers ask, by part, process, certification or application.
A named-competitor benchmark
Which providers the engines name instead of you, on which questions and on which engine.

A 45-minute readout call
We walk you through the results and the plan on a call.
The kind of questions we test for manufacturing
Real buyer questions, phrased the way your buyers type them into an assistant. These are examples; yours are agreed with you before the run.
- "contract manufacturer for low-volume CNC-machined aluminium parts"
- "industrial automation integrator for a packaging line"
- "supplier of certified components for medical devices"
What the engines read in industrial categories
In the nearest industrial category we measure, 454 answers in September 2026, vendor sites carried more of the answer than in any other industry: 392 of 454 answers, 86.3%. Government and regulator sources came next at 49 of 454, 10.8%, then directories at 39 of 454, 8.6%. For a manufacturer that means your own site does most of the work, so specifications, certifications and capabilities have to be on it in a form an engine can quote. The audit checks whether they are, question by question.
From SourceRank AI's published research: What AI engines cite, by industry, who the engines name for CNC machining contract manufacturers, who the engines name for industrial automation system integrators, the measured AEO agency ranking for this category.
