Founder & CEO, Engagemii

New York, NY

Greg founded Engagemii in 2024 to solve the problem that brands were becoming invisible to AI search. While SEO had a decade of practice, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) didn't exist as a category. Engagemii built one.

Today, Engagemii has scored over 12,000,000 brands across 6 AEO categories (structured data, content structure, entity clarity, E-E-A-T signals, technical AEO, and AI discoverability). The platform serves brands that need to be cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI assistants.

AI Recommends the Same Few Brands in Every Category. We Scored 12.8 Million Websites to Find Out Why.

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for a recommendation and the same short list of brands comes back, category after category. We spent months scoring 12.8 million websites, mapping billions of public web signals, and verifying 16,757 real AI recommendations to crack why. The answer: seven scores, two sides, one system. Half of it we can fix for you today. The other half you have to earn, and for the first time, data can tell you exactly where your effort pays off most.

We Scored 11.7 Million Websites on How Well AI Can See Them. 97% Are Failing.

Search is moving from Google's ten blue links to a single AI answer. So we asked a simple question at scale: when ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini writes that answer, whose website can it actually read? We scored 11.7 million US business sites to find out. The average is 4.53 out of 10, only 3% are AI-ready, and just 27 sites scored a perfect 10.

The AI Crawlers Are Already on Your Site. Your Analytics Just Can't See Them.

GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot don't run JavaScript, so Google Analytics never sees them. But what they read on your site decides whether ChatGPT recommends you or your competitor. We just crossed 10 million US brands scored for AI visibility, and we made the tools to see this problem free: your score, a fix kit, and live AI bot monitoring.

The Median AEO Score Across 1.7 Million Sites Is 4. Most Brands Don't Know Theirs.

We scored 1.7 million business websites for AI visibility. The median came back at 4 out of 10. Most of the brands we audit have never heard of AEO and have no idea where they sit on the curve. The cost of not knowing has gotten higher this year, and is going to get higher next year. Here is what the data looks like.
