What people ask us first.

For online shops, brands and service providers whose customers use AI to compare and choose products or providers. For agencies, there is the Agency plan. Our current focus is e-commerce in Switzerland. The free check and the readiness report are also available for insurers, banks, fiduciary firms and practices, with conditions instead of purchase conditions.

The free check costs nothing. The readiness report costs CHF 390 one-off, at a fixed price. The plans cost CHF 89 (Starter), CHF 290 (Pro) and from CHF 790 (Agency, with 13,500 credits and up to 10 brands; more on quotation) per month. We quote for Aions Partner according to scope. All prices in CHF. You will find all the details on the pricing page.

Every answer from an AI system costs credits; only successful answers are charged. Chat interfaces such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews cost 0.25 credits per answer, models via the API 1 to 3 credits. The number of answers in the plan applies to chat interfaces. Unused credits carry over to the next month until your balance reaches three times your monthly credits. Additional credits are available on request; they do not expire while your subscription runs. All credits expire when the subscription ends.

Our recommendation: core questions daily, exploratory questions weekly, four weeks daily after an action. Measuring less often saves credits, but you only see large differences. A worked example at an assumed rate of 10%: after one month, daily measurement narrows the value down to 3 to 26%. Weekly measurement only to 1 to 58%. Repeated answers are correlated, so the actual interval is wider. During setup, the platform shows you how precise your choice is.

You can choose ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Meta AI (Llama), DeepSeek and Qwen. We measure via API or through the chat interface. At the same time: up to 3 in Starter, up to 6 in Pro, all 10 in the Agency plan and with Partner. At the start, we suggest ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, plus Microsoft Copilot from Pro upwards. We query chat interfaces with a Swiss location and without logging in. Results are shown separately for each system.

Nobody knows that for certain today. Representative data on how people ask AI systems hardly exists. That is why we derive the decision questions: from category templates, the purchase conditions in your category and your own knowledge. We disclose them and review them continuously. You can add your own questions at any time.

Yes. Every question belongs to exactly one category, for example a product range. In Starter, Pro and Agency, categories are unlimited, per brand. Metrics are always shown per category, with denominator and interval, without a rate mixed across categories. If a category has too few answers for a reliable statement, you see a note. An overall view exists only as an overview. Tags such as returns, price or delivery let you compare purchase conditions across categories. Every question uses credits, whatever its category.

No. The platform and the readiness audit only read what is publicly accessible. With interfaces for agents (UCP, MCP), too, we do not call any functions and order nothing. In the Partner programme, an agent can run through a test purchase with your authorisation. It stops before payment and does not place an order.

Aions does not implement itself. On the platform, you or your agency implement. In the Partner programme, Aions coordinates implementation by implementation partners or your agency. You sign the contract directly with the company that does the work. We measure before and after with the same questions, systems and rules, whoever implements.

Yes. Your agency can define the questions with us, take on the findings and implement them. We measure before and after. Agencies can also use the Agency plan to measure several clients themselves and can join the Aions programme.

For Switzerland, this has not been shown. There is no reliable data today on whether more mentions in AI answers bring more revenue. In the USA, visits from AI assistants to retail websites rose by 693% year on year during the 2025 Christmas shopping season. Visitors from AI assistants bought 31% more often than visitors from other sources. These are US figures from Adobe; they say nothing about your shop. Aions measures how often AI mentions and recommends you. Also what agents see on your pages and whether that changes after an action. You see your revenue in your own figures.

In a Visa survey in Switzerland, 70% said they had already used AI assistants to prepare a purchase. Of these, 49% say AI strongly influences their purchase decisions. About 1 in 10 bought exactly the recommended product.

Aions measures mentions, recommendations, sources and competitors, as monitoring does. In addition, Aions audits the whole chain from the agent's point of view. Does the agent find your pages, can it read them, does it recommend you, does it get as far as the purchase? Every finding becomes an action with an acceptance criterion. Every figure comes with denominator and interval. And after a change, we measure again with the same measurement.

No. We show where you lose, what can be changed and whether anything changes afterwards. Competitors and AI models change all the time, and new content is not taken into account straight away. That is why we measure repeatedly.

Yes. Starter, Pro and Agency can be cancelled at the end of any month. There is no annual discount. The free check and the readiness report are one-off, with no subscription.

For the free check, we only need your website address and your email address. We treat measurement data and findings confidentially and do not publish them without your express approval. The examples on this website are fictitious or anonymised. For the audit, we also evaluate public content of your website with language models from external providers. Details are in the privacy policy. What details from our forms we process and how long we keep them is set out in the section Forms on this website.

No. Measurement and readiness audit run from the outside, using the user agents of AI services; we also fetch selected pages through an AI provider's infrastructure. Optional data sources such as Search Console and server logs (in preparation) can help to put findings into context.
