We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or in-app notice.

2. Description of Service

Ovid (GetOvid) is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) analysis platform. The Service uses automated crawling, rule-based scoring, and AI-generated analysis to produce recommendations about how a web page or website may perform in AI-powered search engines and answer engines such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot.

The Service is provided as an informational and advisory tool only. It is not a substitute for professional SEO, legal, financial, or business advice.

  • Inclusion in, citation by, or favourable treatment from any AI answer engine
  • Revenue, leads, conversions, or any other commercial outcomes
  • The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of analysis or scoring
  • Compatibility with or acceptance by any current or future search algorithm

Search engine and AI answer engine algorithms change frequently and without notice. Actions that improve performance today may have no effect or a negative effect in the future. You implement any recommendations entirely at your own risk.
