Are these "AI search simulator" tools accurate? Running my content through multiple to find out.
The Setup
I'm testing 3 AI simulator tools with my "What is AEO?" page. All claim to show how content appears in AI results.
Day 3 Results
| Tool | My Site Ranked | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| Tool A | #3 | Unknown |
| Tool B | #12 | Unknown |
| Tool C | Not listed | Unknown |
Initial Thoughts
- All tools give different results
- None match actual AI behavior (tested with real ChatGPT)
- Probably gaming their own algorithms
Running for 2 weeks. Will compare against real AI at the end.
