The AEO Industry Index measures how AI answer engines recommend the players in a category. This November 2026 edition tracks egg donation programs across five AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot), scoring how often and how prominently each program is named when someone asks AI for guidance.
AEO Index · November 2026 · Updated Nov 13, 2026
The complete AI-visibility index for egg donation programs.
Two layers of AI visibility, durable memory and the live citation contest, the organic reality beneath them, and where the opportunity sits, in one view.
The short version
What AI already says about this category
Ninety seconds. AI answers this category from two places at once, what the models already remember about it and what they retrieve live, and this index measures both. Every figure below is drawn from a panel further down this page, and none of it is an estimate.
Executive overviewOnly 38% of the sources behind AI's answers about this category come from a tracked program.
38%
of citations to a program's own site
of 4,470 sources AI cited
36%
of category search demand captured
by the 43 tracked programs with organic data
The answer is assembled somewhere else. Only 38% of what AI cites in this category sits on a tracked program's own site. The most-cited source that is not a tracked program's own site is pfcla.com at 110 citations, ahead of en.wikipedia.org and ccrmivf.com. The citation panel below lists every source and who owns it.
What AI looks for is not evenly contested. 41% of the sub-questions AI generates on its own are about agency and egg bank discovery, which is the most contested ground in the category. Another 1.5% are about process and legal, where the cohort averages 0.1% coverage and Elevate Baby alone holds 3.5%.
What the measurement says
Visibility here is not owned, it is cited
Tracked programs hold 38% of the sources behind AI's answers about this category. The rest sits on sites none of them controls, so visibility here is largely a function of who else writes about a program rather than of what sits on its own site.
What the measurement says
AI demand and search demand do not line up
Process and legal carries 7,930 searches a month in Google and 1.5% of the sub-questions AI generates on its own, against 0.1% average coverage across the cohort; Elevate Baby is the only program with a real position in it at 3.5%. A cluster AI asks about and the category has not answered is a property of the category, measured here rather than assumed.
How to read every number on this page. Every figure on this page is measured, and each panel names the artifact and the date it came from. This edition has a single collection occasion, so it publishes one blended ordering and no measured margin of error around it: read close neighbours as close, not as ranked. A repeat collection is what turns that ordering into bands the index can defend.

18 more programs are verified and tracked in this index but not ranked in this edition. A program is ranked when AI names it in at least 10 of the 1,110 answers to this page's 37 open questions (the ones that name no organization), and in most of an engine's repeat answers to at least one of them. The number beside each name is how many of those answers named it.

How this is measured
How this index is scored
Two layers, scored on the same five signals. The layers are what AI knows about a program without looking versus what it finds when it searches. The signals are how each layer is measured.
Methodology v2The two layers
Memory (weighted 0.32): what the model has internalized about the category, measured with web search off. The slow-moving reputation layer.
Live retrieval (weighted 0.68): what the model surfaces when it searches the web before answering. The fast, content-driven layer.
Each layer score is the weighted composite of the five signals. The blended score combines them at 0.32 memory and 0.68 retrieval, the same weighting on every Arcalea index so that two categories can be read on one scale.
The five signals
Entity Mention Frequency (EMF) (25%)
Share of tested responses that name the program. The foundational frequency signal.
Topical Range Score (20%)
Share of distinct question types where the program appears. Breadth, not volume. A program that leads its category will often score 1.000 here, because it shows up across every kind of question asked. The signal does its separating work further down the field.
Position Power Score (20%)
Where in the answer the program lands. Named first counts for more than named last.
First-Position Rate (15%)
How often the program is the first named of any listed. The advocacy signal.
Cross-Platform Stability (20%)
How evenly the program appears across engines rather than depending on one. Measured within a layer: the memory layer runs on fewer engines than retrieval, so the two are read within their own layer, not against each other.
Rigor you can see
Head-to-head, honestly measured
When AI compares two programs, the naive answer is mostly an artifact of which is named first. We ask every matchup both ways; the number to trust is order-balanced. Toggle to watch the correction.

How AI frames them
Attribute association
Which factors the models associate with each program. Darker cell = stronger association. Each row is a share of that program's own mentions, so a program needs at least 20 mentions before its shares mean anything.

"not ranked" means the program ranks for none of the tracked keywords, so no composite is computed. That is absence from this keyword universe, not a score of zero.
Open vs owned
Category concentration and saturation
How many cohort SERP appearances each question category actually has, and how concentrated they are where there are enough to tell. A concentration index over a handful of appearances reports the reciprocal of that handful, not the shape of the category, so it is withheld under 30.
Grounded layer · 2026-11-13| Category | Cohort SERP appearances | Entities appearing | Concentration (HHI) | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other | 1508 | 47 | 0.07 | Open |
| Comparison | 25 | 16 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Solution | 24 | 14 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Discovery | 23 | 13 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Educational | 21 | 11 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Community | 7 | 6 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Geographic | 4 | 4 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
| Decision | 3 | 3 | n/a | Base too small to judge |
Read the appearance counts first. 1508 of 1615 cohort SERP appearances land in the residual bucket rather than any named question category, so the keyword universe barely reaches the categories the AI prompt set asks about. That gap is the finding here; a concentration index computed over the handful that do land in a named category would only report how few there are.

Next step
Turn this into a plan.
This index shows where each program stands and which layer, model memory or live retrieval, is holding it back. A GEO Audit turns that into a prioritized action plan for one program: the pages, entity infrastructure, schema, and AI crawler access to fix, in order, with the measurement re-run afterward to prove the lift.

FAQ
Common questions about the AEO Index
What is the AEO Industry Index?
What is the difference between the memory and live-retrieval layers?
The index measures two instruments and never blends them. The parametric (memory) layer queries each model with web search off, capturing what the model has internalized about the category. The grounded (live-retrieval) layer lets the models search the live web before answering. Memory is the slow-moving reputation moat; retrieval is the fast, content-driven citation contest. The gap between the two layers is itself the finding.
Why does a program rank differently on memory versus live retrieval?
A program can hold a strong place in a model's memory yet lose the live-retrieval layer when competitors publish more citable, current content, or the reverse. The Delta Quadrant plots both layers at once, so you can see which lever a program must pull: build durable reputation, or win the live citation contest.
How is AI visibility different from an SEO ranking?
SEO measures where a page ranks on a results page. AEO measures whether a brand is named and cited inside the AI-generated answer, where most people never click through to a link. A program can rank well organically and still be absent from the AI answer, or lead the AI answer while trailing in organic search. This index reports both and shows where they diverge.
Which platforms and prompts does the index use?
Five platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. Each runs the same frozen prompt set. Most prompts are entity-neutral, meaning no program is named and the model chooses who to recommend on its own; a separate head-to-head track deliberately names two programs per prompt to test direct comparisons. Scores aggregate across platforms and prompt categories, with per-platform detail in each section.
Can Arcalea build this index for my category?
Yes. The methodology is category-agnostic. Give us your market and competitive set and we build the same two-layer index for your industry and your brand's position within it. Use the Get Your Index button to start.
