AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — the practice of optimizing your website so that AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity can easily find, understand, and cite your content when answering user questions.
Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in search engine result pages where users click through to your site, AEO focuses on making your content the authoritative source that AI assistants reference directly in their responses. As more users turn to AI for answers instead of search engines, AEO is becoming critical for maintaining online visibility.
Sites optimized for AEO use structured data (JSON-LD schema markup), clear question-and-answer content formats, comprehensive factual depth, and strong authority signals that help AI systems trust and cite their content.
Our engine performs a comprehensive automated audit of your website, analyzing the signals that AI answer engines use to evaluate, understand, and cite web content.
Type your domain and choose a scan depth — homepage only, 5 pages, or 10 pages for a deeper analysis.
Our engine fetches your pages, parses HTML structure, extracts schema markup, and checks technical fundamentals in seconds.
Receive a detailed report with an AEO score out of 100, a GEO score, category breakdowns, and prioritized recommendations.
Your website is evaluated across 7 categories, each measuring a different aspect of AI answer engine readiness. The composite score combines all categories into a single AEO score out of 100.
Evaluates content depth, readability, question-based headings, FAQ sections, and whether your content provides comprehensive answers AI engines can extract.
Checks for JSON-LD structured data including Organization, FAQPage, Article, HowTo, and BreadcrumbList schemas that help AI understand your content.
Analyzes HTTPS, page load performance, mobile readiness, meta tags, canonical URLs, and other technical signals that affect AI crawlability.
Measures authorship signals, citation quality, external references, and trust indicators that AI engines use to determine source reliability.
Checks robots.txt AI bot policies, llms.txt presence, sitemap availability, and whether your site actively blocks or welcomes AI crawlers.
Evaluates entity clarity, topical focus, keyword usage in headings, and how well your content establishes a clear identity for AI systems.
Assesses Generative Engine Optimization signals including citation-friendliness, factual density, source attribution, and statistics that AI models prefer to reference.
SEO optimizes for search engine result pages where users click through to your site. AEO optimizes for AI answer engines where your content is cited directly in conversational responses. AEO emphasizes structured data, question-answer formatting, entity clarity, and content depth so AI systems can understand and trust your content. Both are important — AEO complements your existing SEO strategy.
Yes, completely free. No login, no email required, no hidden paywalls. Enter your domain and get a full AEO audit report with scores across all 7 categories, detailed findings, and actionable recommendations.
The major AI answer engines include ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity AI, and Microsoft Copilot. Good AEO practices work across all platforms because they rely on similar signals: structured data, content quality, authority, and clear information architecture.
Focus on the highest-impact areas first: add JSON-LD structured data (Organization, FAQPage schemas), create comprehensive FAQ sections with question-based headings, write detailed content of 800+ words on key pages, and ensure your technical fundamentals are solid. Your audit report includes prioritized recommendations specific to your site.
We recommend scanning after any significant content or structural changes to your site, and at minimum once a month. AI answer engines are constantly evolving how they evaluate and cite sources, so regular audits help you stay ahead.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. While AEO covers overall readiness for AI answer engines, GEO specifically measures how likely generative AI models are to cite your content — factual density, statistics, source attribution, and citation-friendliness. Your audit includes both an AEO score and a separate GEO score.
