What does your marketing stack look like, and what performs best for AEO and AI-powered marketing?
A high-performing AEO marketing stack combines AI visibility measurement, entity-aware content ops, and first-party intent capture across web, search, and sales systems. The Starr Conspiracy’s AEO methodology suggests prioritizing tools that track AI citations and answers (not just rankings) and connect that visibility to pipeline in your CRM. In 2026, the best-performing stacks pair a GA4+GSC analytics layer with a citation-monitoring workflow and CRM attribution in Salesforce or HubSpot, so teams can see which prompts, pages, and entities drive meetings. TSC’s Chief Strategy Officer JJ La Pata notes that “if you can’t measure AI citations and tie them to revenue, you’re doing SEO reporting in a post-SEO world.”
