The shift
Search is becoming conversation. Your SEO doesn't translate.
Ranking first on Google no longer guarantees visibility. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or an autonomous agent "what's the best option for X?", the answer is a synthesis — not a list of links. If your brand isn't structured to be cited, you're invisible in the moment that matters.

The platform
Nine modules. One agent-ready foundation.
Every module is built for a specific layer of the AEO stack — from diagnosing what's missing, to building the structured signals agents need, to monitoring where you show up and where competitors take your place.

Why agent-ready matters
The next wave isn't search. It's delegation.
Autonomous agents already research, compare, and buy on behalf of users. Within a year, most AEO tools will still be tracking where brands appear in chat answers — while the actual decisions shift to agents reading structured data your site probably doesn't serve.

Questions answered
FAQ
How is Prequire different from Otterly, Profound, or Peec AI?
Those tools monitor where your brand appears in AI search. Prequire monitors and builds the machine-readable substrate agents actually consume — llms.txt, structured data, citation-worthy copy, and an Agent Readiness score that tracks the whole stack. We also use flat pricing with BYOK instead of prompt-tier gating. See our side-by-side comparison with Otterly for specifics.
Is the free AEO audit really free?
Yes. The audit scores your site on 8 factors plus Agent Readiness in about 60 seconds. No signup is required to see your score. If you add your email, we deliver a full PDF report with prioritized recommendations.
What's llms.txt and why does it matter?
llms.txt is an emerging standard file — similar in spirit to robots.txt — that tells large language models what your site is, which content to prioritize, and how to cite it. Most sites don't have one. Prequire generates yours in under a minute.
What does "Agent Readiness Score" mean?
It's our composite benchmark across six dimensions: crawler accessibility, structured data completeness, llms.txt presence and quality, citation-worthiness of copy, semantic authority signals, and current AI citation rate.
Do I need to bring my own API keys?
For the monitoring and AI-description modules, yes. We support OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Perplexity keys. The free audit, llms.txt generation, and schema generation work without any keys.
Is the lifetime plan actually lifetime?
Yes — one payment, forever access for the original purchaser, including all future modules. We cap the lifetime cohort at 100 seats.
