Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of aeocontent.ai and all related services operated by AEO Content, Inc. ("we", "us", "our"). By using our website, API, or any of our services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

AEO Content provides AI Engine Optimization services including:

• AEO Audits - automated analysis of how AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) find, interpret, and cite your website
• Visibility Reports - real query testing against AI engines to measure citation performance
• Industry Benchmarks - aggregate scoring data across sectors and categories
• Content Pipeline - AI-assisted content production for paying customers
• Public API - programmatic access to audit data for API subscribers

You can use our free audit without an account. For the customer portal and API access, you authenticate via one-time codes sent to your email or phone. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current and your API keys secure.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse our services, or remain inactive for an extended period. We will notify you before any termination unless immediate action is required to prevent harm.

You agree not to:

• Submit URLs you do not own or have authorization to audit (auditing a competitor's public site is fine - impersonating them is not)
• Use the service to harass, defame, or harm others
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, bot detection, or other security measures
• Scrape, mirror, or redistribute our audit data in bulk without permission
• Use the service for any illegal purpose
• Submit malicious URLs designed to compromise our systems
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. Prices are listed on our pricing page. All fees are in US dollars and non-refundable once services have been delivered.

If you are unsatisfied with a paid service, contact us within 14 days and we will work with you to resolve the issue or provide a credit toward future services.

The following additional terms apply to API subscribers:

Our audit scores represent a point-in-time analysis of your website against our scoring criteria. We do not guarantee that a high score will result in AI citations, traffic, or revenue. AI engine behavior changes frequently and is outside our control.

Scores are generated through a combination of automated analysis and AI evaluation. While we work to ensure accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every finding or score is perfectly precise. Use audit results as directional guidance, not absolute truth.

We maintain a public directory of audited websites. To protect the quality of our directory, comply with search engine and AI platform policies, and safeguard our users, we do not list sites in the following categories:

• Adult and pornographic content - sites whose primary purpose is sexually explicit material
• Gambling and online casinos - unlicensed gambling, sports betting, or online casino operations
• Illegal services - drug marketplaces, hacking services, counterfeit goods, or any content facilitating illegal activity
• Malware, phishing, and deceptive sites - sites flagged by security services or designed to deceive users
• Hate speech and extremist content - sites promoting violence, discrimination, or extremist ideology
• Unlicensed pharmaceutical sales - sites selling prescription medication without proper licensing
• Weapons and firearms e-commerce - sites primarily selling weapons, ammunition, or explosives
• Piracy and copyright infringement - torrent sites, warez distributors, or sites hosting stolen content
• Cryptocurrency fraud - pump-and-dump schemes, fake token offerings, or investment scams
• Predatory financial services - payday loan operations or services designed to exploit consumers
• Parked, expired, or hijacked domains - domains with no legitimate content
• Auto-generated spam - sites with no editorial oversight consisting entirely of machine-generated filler content

These restrictions apply to both free and paid audits. We use automated filtering during our audit pipeline to detect and exclude sites in these categories. Audits may still be processed internally for security research purposes but will not appear in our public directory, benchmark data, or API responses.

We reserve the right to remove any listing from our public directory at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to:

• The site changes its content to fall into a prohibited category after being audited
• We receive a valid legal request or takedown notice
• The listing is flagged by Google Safe Browsing or similar security services
• The domain owner requests removal of their listing
• We determine the listing harms the quality or reputation of our directory

Removal from the public directory does not constitute a refund for paid services. If you believe your site was incorrectly filtered, contact us at hello@aeocontent.ai and we will review the decision.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AEO Content, Inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service. This includes lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or any damages related to actions you take based on audit results.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AEO Content, Inc. and its founders, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

Your use of the service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your data.

We may update these terms as our service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify active users.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
