What's the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO is about ranking high in Google's results list. AEO is about being cited directly in AI-generated answers. With AEO, your business gets mentioned in the answer itself, not just listed among ten blue links.

Which AI platforms does NordicPulse AI cover?

NordicPulse AI monitors and optimizes for seven AI platforms: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and You.com. Coverage expands regularly.

Does AEO work for Nordic businesses?

Absolutely. AEO is especially effective in the Nordic market because there are fewer competitors per industry. AI models have less Norwegian/Nordic language data to choose from, so businesses that optimize now get a clear first-mover advantage.

What does AEO tooling cost?

NordicPulse AI has a free Scout plan with 50 credits/month. Paid plans start at 499 NOK/month (Starter, ~$46) with 250 credits. AEO tools typically cost 5–75 credits per analysis.

Can I try AEO tools for free?

Yes. AEO Scanner, AEO Grader, AI Visibility Checker, Brand Pulse, and several other tools are completely free without registration. You can also create a free Scout account with 50 credits/month and access to 229+ tools.

What is AEO?

SEO is about ranking in a results list. AEO is about being cited in the answer itself. In 2026, click-through rates from Google search are declining sharply — AI Overviews answer directly and users click through less often. Businesses that don't invest in AEO disappear from their customers' awareness.

Why Nordic businesses need AEO

The Nordic market is small enough to dominate. Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish queries have weaker AI coverage than English — less data to choose from means each source weighs more heavily. NordicPulse AI is built for Nordic languages and businesses from day one.

Three categories: Monitoring (do you know what AI says about you?), Analysis (find gaps in your AI visibility), and Optimization (become the source AI recommends). Includes AEO Scanner, AEO Grader, AI Visibility Checker, Citation Architect, Content Capsule Optimizer, Schema Generator Pro, and 36 others.
