Which tools show where AI answers get facts wrong about your brand?

Check the answer against your own site. Two panels from our own measurement: Claude’s answer, “an AI simulation engine” in 10 of 10 by-name answers in November 2026, marked as a miss, beside our site’s own description, “Measures what AI answer engines say when buyers ask for a recommendation”.

Short answer: look for a tool that asks the AI answer engines about your company by name, several times each with web search on, then checks every answer against the facts you publish yourself: your name, what you do, who runs it, your prices as your pricing page states them, and names you no longer use. It should show the exact wording the engine used, the sources it cited, and how many answers got it right out of how many, so you can trace each wrong fact to where it came from. AEO Analyzers does this as "Described accurately when named" in every Citation Sweep.

What to check an answer against

Your own published facts, not anyone's memory. The site you control is the reference: the organization and product names in your structured data, your founder or leadership page, your pricing page, and a list of names you have retired. An answer that contradicts one of those is wrong in a way you can fix.

Why the source matters more than the error

An engine repeats what it read or what it learned earlier. If a cited page carries the wrong fact, that page is the fix. If no cited page carries it, the engine may be repeating older material, and the fix is to make the current fact unmissable on pages it does read.

A real example, from our own measurement

Two columns labeled "Our own data, November 1st, 2026". Left, what the engine said: "AI simulation engine" — Claude, in 10 of 10 by-name answers about AEO Analyzers. Right, what our site says: "Measures what AI answer engines say when buyers ask for a recommendation." A not-equal sign between them.
Our own data, November 1st, 2026: Claude called AEO Analyzers an "AI simulation engine" in 10 of 10 by-name answers; our own description says something else. Source: stored answers in docs/baselines/aeoanalyzers-2026-11-01.json.

On November 1st, 2026, Claude described our product as an "AI simulation engine" in all 10 of its by-name answers, a name we retired on October 15th, and some answers quoted earlier prices. We traced the wording to our own public GitHub repository, whose description and older README still used it. We corrected both the same day. The next measurement will show whether the answers change; the ledger will report it either way.

What a good report shows

  • The count: "described accurately in 30 of 40 answers that named you", per engine.
  • The wording: the sentence the engine wrote, quoted exactly.
  • The likely source: the cited page that carries the wrong fact, or a plain note that none of the cited pages does.
  • Collisions: similarly named companies the engine confused you with.

Start with your own pages

Engines also misdescribe a company when its own markup is unclear. The Free AEO Checker shows whether your structured data states who you are with a stable identifier and linked profiles, so an engine resolves your name to one entity.

Questions people ask

Can I ask an engine to correct a wrong fact?

Not directly. Correct it where the engine reads it: your own pages and the sources it cites. Then measure again on the same questions.

How often should I check?

Monthly, on the same questions and engines, so the months can be compared.
