What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO makes a page reachable and understandable for search engines. AEO shapes the content so that an answer engine can quote it directly. GEO makes sure generative AI assistants receive the same content your visitors see, and are allowed to use it. Silver Warden checks all three on the same pages, in the same run.
How often does Silver Warden check a site?
Every night. Each run reads a budget of pages that rotates through the site, pages never read first, and a status sweep covers a wider set of URLs. New findings, closures and regressions are in the control center by morning.
Do we need to install anything on our site?
No. Silver Warden reads your public pages from outside, as a search engine does. Core Web Vitals come from the public Chrome UX Report, and Search Console data can be added to find pages that Google shows but the crawl has not reached.
Will the crawler slow our site down?
It keeps to a few connections per host with a pause between requests, honours Crawl-delay, and stops for that host on a 403, a 429 or a challenge page. The crawler page explains how to limit it or block it with robots.txt.
When is a finding closed?
Only when the crawler has re-read the pages in scope and the problem is gone, and the closure keeps a receipt of what was seen. If the team marks a finding done while the crawler still sees it, the control center says so, and a closed problem that comes back reopens as a regression.
Which AI crawlers does Silver Warden look at?
Templates are fetched as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot and compared with the page the main crawl receives. Your robots.txt policy is mapped for 15 AI crawlers, from training bots to live assistants, and checked for contradictions.
Who is Silver Warden for?
SEO, content and engineering teams that run large websites, such as e-commerce catalogues, store networks and service providers, where thousands of templated pages change every week and one broken template can cost more than any single page.
Can the control center carry our brand?
Yes. The control center can run under your product name, tagline and colours, and each user sees only the domains assigned to them, so an agency can give every client a view of its own sites and nothing else.
