Growth Plan with AEO toolkit: Get your posts cited by AI answer engines
Your next reader might not come from Google. They ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, get one concise answer, and never see a search results page. If your post isn't that answer, it's invisible to them.
We built the AEO toolkit for that. In the editor, add FAQ blocks that render as FAQPage structured data, the format answer engines extract first. An AEO score runs eight deterministic checks and scores your draft out of 100, with a hint for every failed check. The score sits in the editor toolbar and recomputes as you write. Rewrite as Q&A restructures any passage into a question heading and a direct answer in one click.
The dashboard side lives in three tabs. The AI crawlers tab controls which bots may index your blog through robots.txt: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and CCBot, each with its own switch, all on by default. Your blog now serves llms.txt, so AI agents can read your recent 100 posts as markdown.
The freshness queue lists your posts stalest first and flags anything untouched for a year, because answer engines prefer fresh content. AI citations tracks up to 10 questions you want to own. Every day we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity each one and record whether your blog is cited, with a 12-week trend per question.
The toolkit ships with the new Growth Plan: everything in Pro plus AEO for a flat $29 per month on top of your Pro seats. Yearly billing gets you two months free. Upgrade from your dashboard's billing page. The full feature list is on hashnode.com/pro, under the Growth tab.
