Questions, answered directly.
What TalkLytics does, how approvals keep you in control, and how we make AI engines recommend your business.
What TalkLytics is
What is TalkLytics?
TalkLytics is an AI marketing team for small businesses. A crew of specialist AI agents — strategist, SEO researcher, content writers, social specialists, an AEO strategist and an analytics reporter — plans and drafts your marketing every week. You review and approve everything from one dashboard (or Slack); nothing is published without your OK.
What does TalkLytics actually do each week?
Each week your team refreshes strategy, researches keywords and customer questions, drafts articles, social posts and emails in your brand voice, checks how AI assistants answer questions about your market, and sends you a plain-English report on what shipped and what worked.
Who is TalkLytics for?
Owner-led businesses and small teams that need consistent marketing but can't justify an agency retainer — local services, online products, consultants, and early-stage startups.
How is TalkLytics different from ChatGPT or a writing tool?
A writing tool gives you a blank box. TalkLytics gives you a team with memory: it researches your business once, keeps an approved brand memory of your voice, audience and claims, plans work on a schedule, drafts across channels, and reports results — with an approval gate on everything.
AEO & AI visibility
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO is the practice of making your business the answer AI assistants give. When customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for recommendations, AEO work — answer-first content, structured data, entity consistency and citation tracking — determines whether you're mentioned or invisible.
How does TalkLytics improve my AI visibility?
The AEO strategist regularly asks the major engines your customers' real questions, records whether you or competitors are cited, and produces fixes: answer pages for your top questions, schema markup, llms.txt, and consistency corrections across your public profiles. The weekly report tracks citation movement over time.
What is the free AI visibility audit?
A no-signup report that asks the major AI engines about your business and market, scores your visibility out of 100, and lists the highest-impact fixes. It's the fastest way to see what AI currently says about you.
Does SEO still matter if AI answers questions directly?
Yes. AI engines retrieve heavily from pages that already rank, so healthy SEO feeds AEO. TalkLytics runs both with the same content: answer-first pages that Google ranks and assistants quote.
Control & approvals
Does TalkLytics publish anything without my approval?
Never. Every draft lands in 'Needs your OK' first. You approve, ask for changes, or skip — and your feedback is saved to your team's memory so future drafts fit your taste better.
How does my team learn my brand voice?
During onboarding your strategist researches your website and market, then drafts your brand memory one facet at a time — what you do, your audience, voice, competitors, claims to avoid. You approve every word before it becomes the foundation your whole team works from.
Do you need my social media passwords?
No, never. Platform connections use your public handle plus, where a platform supports it, an API token you create in that platform's own developer settings. Passwords never touch TalkLytics.
Pricing & practicalities
How much does TalkLytics cost?
One plan at $99/month covering the whole team — strategy, content, social drafts, AEO checks and reports. No per-seat pricing, no tiers, cancel anytime.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — from Settings in your dashboard, in one click. Your documents remain yours and stay exportable.
Is my business data safe?
Your brand memory and drafts live in your own workspace, are never used to train models, and are exportable at any time. Platform tokens are stored write-only and can be removed in one click.
How long until I see results?
Content and social output start in week one. AI-citation and search movement typically shows in 4–12 weeks depending on your starting point — the weekly report tracks it honestly, including what isn't working.
