Built by an agency that got tired of guessing what AI search wants
Audaeo is an AI Engine Optimization audit built by Impulse Creative, a brand and marketing agency. We built it because we were guessing at what AI engines wanted from our clients' sites, and guessing is not a strategy. Audaeo turns the guess into a score.
Why did we build Audaeo?
We build brand and marketing programs for a living, and the ground moved. Buyers stopped scanning ten blue links and started asking an AI engine one question. The engine reads a few sources, names a couple, and moves on. Our clients kept asking the same thing: is my site one of the sources AI trusts, and if not, why not.
We did not have a clean answer. We had opinions and a checklist. So we built the instrument we wanted: a way to read a site the way an AI engine does, score every page from both a human buyer's and an AI agent's view, and hand back the exact gaps. That instrument is Audaeo.
Who builds Audaeo?
Impulse Creative builds Audaeo. We are a brand and omni-channel marketing agency, and Audaeo is our product. The people behind it are the same strategists, writers, and engineers who run client programs, which is why the audit is opinionated about strategy and not only about tags in the HTML.
You can check our work directly. Our agency site and our LinkedIn are the receipts.

Where did the CLEAR framework come from?
CLEAR was developed by Impulse Creative and documented in our CLEAR framework ebook, before Audaeo existed. It scores a page across five dimensions, Credibility, Leverage, Evidence, Alignment, and Responsiveness, and it scores each one twice: once as a human buyer reads it, once as an AI agent parses it. The gap between those two scores is the work.
Audaeo is the framework turned into software. It takes the method we already used by hand and runs it on every page of a site, so the grade is consistent and the recommendations are specific.

Do you hold your own site to the standard?
Yes. This marketing site is prerendered to static HTML so AI crawlers that do not run JavaScript still read the copy, its pages are answer-first with question headings, and it carries schema on every page. We run Audaeo on audaeo.com and hold it to the same grade we ask of a client's site.
