What is an AEO checker?
An AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) checker audits a website against the factors that decide whether AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can find, understand and cite it. Traditional SEO audits look at how pages rank in search results. An AEO checker looks at what an AI engine needs before it will quote you: structured data, answers it can extract, access for AI crawlers, and signals that your brand is a real, trustworthy entity.
What the AEO checker scores
Your score is out of 100, split across five areas worth up to 20 points each. The checker scans your homepage, robots.txt and sitemap, and runs a PageSpeed test.
| Schema | Organization schema (more points with sameAs profile links), WebSite schema and FAQPage schema. |
|---|---|
| Technical | Title, meta description, canonical tag, Open Graph tags, HTTPS, an XML sitemap with URLs, robots.txt, and PageSpeed performance at 50+ and 80+. |
| Content | An H1, at least three H2s, word count (500, 1,000 and 2,000+), structured FAQ content with three or more questions, and internal links. |
| Authority | Links out to external sources, Organization sameAs links to your profiles, an Open Graph image, and HTTPS. |
| AI readiness | Whether robots.txt lets GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Amazonbot crawl, plus schema, FAQ content, depth and a meta description AI can quote. |
What you get
Every finding is marked critical, warning or good, and each problem comes with a generated fix, such as the JSON-LD to paste or the robots.txt line to change. A 30-day roadmap orders the work by impact, week by week. Fix the critical items first, then re-scan to confirm the changes are live and watch the score move.
AEO checker vs AI visibility tracker
The checker tells you whether your site is ready for AI engines. It cannot tell you whether AI engines actually recommend you. For that you need an AI visibility tracker, which runs your buyers' questions through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers every day and records whether you're named, which pages are cited and which competitors appear instead. Use the checker to fix the foundations, and tracking to see the result.

Questions people ask
Is the AEO checker free?
Yes. It is free, needs no login, and you can scan any public website.
What does the AEO checker score?
Five areas worth up to 20 points each, for a score out of 100: schema, technical, content, authority and AI readiness. Each finding comes with a fix you can copy into your site.
Which AI crawlers does it check?
It reads your robots.txt and checks whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Amazonbot are allowed to crawl your site.
Does a high score mean AI engines will cite me?
No. A high score means your site is easy for AI engines to crawl, parse and trust. Whether ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews actually name you depends on your content and reputation across the web, which you measure with an AI visibility tracker.
How is an AEO checker different from an SEO audit?
An SEO audit focuses on how pages rank in search results. An AEO checker focuses on what AI engines need to quote you: structured data, extractable answers, crawler access for AI bots and authority signals.
