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.
