Key Findings
1. SEO ≠ AEO
Average scores across 25 brands: SEO 67 (C) vs AEO 40 (E). A 27-point gap. Taiwan enterprises have invested in traditional SEO but almost zero AEO optimization.
2. Same industry, massive gap
E.SUN Bank: AVS 69. Cathay Bank: AVS 36. Same industry, 33-point difference. When someone asks ChatGPT "recommend a bank in Taiwan," AI will favor E.SUN — not because of service quality, but because of website AI-friendliness.
3. Zero llms.txt adoption
None of the 18 successfully scanned enterprises had a llms.txt file. This is the emerging standard for AI-readable site context. Zero cost to implement, but nobody has done it.
