## AEO tool overview

Adobe started in 1982 with creative content creation and editing tools like Photoshop, but its product portfolio has grown to include e-signature software, a customer data platform, website chatbots, and, as of October 2025, AEO/GEO tooling. Adobe's AEO/GEO tool, LLM Optimizer, is described as an end-to-end tool for enterprise companies, particularly those already using the suite of Adobe Experience Cloud products.

Gauge is a complete analytics platform for GEO, AEO, and LLMO optimization workflows. Monitors ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, CoPilot, AI Mode, and AI Overviews, connecting keyword research to prompt generation with volume data.

### Worth noting

LLM Optimizer is one of the only technologies on this list that offers content delivery designed specifically for AI (Adobe calls its content delivery system "Optimize at Edge").

Teams appreciate Gauge's "engineering over marketing" approach. Built real web experience monitoring that pulls data from actual user interfaces, not just API calls. Typical customers see 3x-5x uplift in AI visibility within the first month.
