What you get
Once connected, the SEO page in the sidebar fills in. Four tiles across the top: clicks, impressions, average CTR, and average position. Below that sit a trend chart, your top queries, your top pages, and a country breakdown with a donut. Ranges are 7, 30, 90, and 365 days. FixAEO syncs hourly. Google itself lags roughly two to three days, so the page shows when the last pull happened.How does the rank-but-not-cited gap work?
This is the part worth connecting for. FixAEO takes your top 50 organic queries by clicks and checks each one against your tracked prompts and your AI answers. Every query lands in one of three states:
Each row carries a gap score, and the table sorts on it — highest first. The score weighs the traffic a query already brings you against how well you rank for it, so queries with real click volume and a strong Google position rise to the top. High clicks plus a strong rank plus no AI mention is the clearest signal that AI is skipping content Google already trusts.
Untracked rows get a Track button. One click turns that query into a tracked prompt, and the row re-classifies on the next scan. The card shows how much of your prompt pool is left and disables the button at the cap — see Setting up your prompts.
Prompt suggestions from your organic queries
Below the gap card, FixAEO clusters your untracked Google queries into suggested prompts. The cached set loads for free every time. Regenerating it costs a model call, so it only runs when you press Refresh. Anything you’ve already tracked disappears from the list.Disconnecting
Disconnecting stops the hourly sync. Your existing performance data stays in place, it just stops updating. If Google revokes the token, the app shows a reconnect banner rather than silently freezing.Related pages
