King of AEO US
About King of AEO US
King of AEO for US readers: the United States answers broken out engine by engine, the method behind that split, and the entry deadline in US time zones.
What does a US-only view show that a blended score hides?
A single average flattens real disagreement. In the archived Round 0 baseline, ChatGPT and Google's answer features did not name the same people first for US prompts. This edition keeps the six US-targeted engine setups apart, so a reader can see which surface said what, and the method page lists the setups left out because they carried no US market signal.
For entrants, the deadline matters more than the data. Entries close at 23:59 AWST on October 12, 2026, which is 11:59 am Eastern and 8:59 am Pacific the same day.
Who measures the US answers?
JP Zhang leads the independent team that runs King of AEO, measures each market and publishes the official standings; this US edition is published by that team too. Marc Moeller is measured like any other competitor. The team's current US market index and its overall Visibility Index come from different measurement scopes, so this site never averages them together.
Where should a US entrant go to act on any of this?
Everything binding happens on kingofaeocompetition.com: the entry form, the gate checks and the title decision on October 14, 2026. This site converts times, explains the US numbers and points there. Sourcing and corrections follow the editorial policy.
