What is answer engine optimization?

Answer engine optimization is the practice of making a brand and its products retrievable, understandable and citable by AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, so the brand appears in the answers buyers read instead of only in traditional search results.

How do I find out if AI recommends my products?

Run a visibility test on your product or brand. LBOX puts the questions real buyers ask to each major answer engine, records which brands are named and which sources are cited, and reports the share of answers that mention you and the share that cite your pages.

Why do AI engines cite retailers and review sites instead of the manufacturer?

Engines cite pages they can retrieve and parse that answer the question directly. Many manufacturer pages are script rendered, thin on specifications, or lack structured data, so the engine falls back to retailers and review sites. Publishing a retrievable page with complete specifications, answer first sections and product schema makes the manufacturer citable.

Plans start at 99 dollars per month for a single published product page, with a Growth plan for a portfolio of products and custom Enterprise terms. Current plans and pricing are published at lbox.com/Pricing.

Can buyers purchase directly from an LBOX page?

Yes. Published pages support transactions with card payment, buyer identity verification, fraud screening, funds released on delivery and dispute mediation, so a buyer can move from an AI answer to a completed order without leaving the page.

Retention We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Connected analytics accounts. If you give LBOX read-only access to Google Analytics or Google Search Console, LBOX reads the traffic, search and sales reports for the website you connect, and uses them to build your Revenue at Risk baseline and to measure your program. On a trial, LBOX reads this data once. On a paid program, LBOX reads it daily. When a trial ends without continuing, or an account closes, LBOX stops reading at once and deletes the data 30 days later. Disconnecting in LBOX deletes it immediately. You can remove LBOX's access in your Google settings at any time. LBOX does not sell this data or use it to advertise to you. LBOX may use it in de-identified, aggregated form, such as the average change in search clicks across a category, which never identifies you or your website. 8. Your Privacy Rights Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request: access to personal information; correction of inaccurate personal information; deletion of personal information; restriction of processing; objection to certain processing; portability of certain data; opt-out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising; withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent; appeal of a denied privacy request; and non-discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights. 9. Security LBOX uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure, and LBOX cannot guarantee absolute security. 10. Changes to This Privacy Policy LBOX may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy means the updated version applies to your continued use. 11.
