Crawlability
Can AI crawlers reach and render the page?
AEO checker / deterministic audit
See whether AI can find, understand, and cite your page.
One URL becomes a 0–100 AEO score, a five-signal evidence trail, and a fix queue your team can actually ship.

Five signals. No mystery score.
Every point maps to a visible rule. The same page produces the same result, which makes before-and-after work measurable.

Structured data
Does machine-readable markup explain the page?
Extractability
Can answer engines isolate the useful content?
Answer readiness
Does the page provide direct, supportable answers?
Visibility signals
Are canonical, social, and mobile signals complete?

Why deterministic matters
A score should be inspectable, not persuasive.
AEO is already full of vague probability claims. This checker uses observable page signals so teams can reproduce a result, ship a fix, and measure the change.

Read the full AEO field guide →01What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?+
AEO is the practice of structuring your content so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — can find, understand, and quote it directly. Where SEO optimizes for blue links, AEO optimizes for being the cited answer.
02How is AEO different from SEO?+
SEO helps you rank in search results; AEO helps you become the answer inside AI responses. Many fundamentals overlap (crawlability, structured data), but AEO adds answer readiness — clear Q&A pairs, definitions, and citations.
03Is the AEO score accurate?+
Yes — deterministically. Our engine is pure rules, no AI guesswork. The same URL always returns the same score, so you can trust it for before/after comparisons.
04Does this tool call any AI API?+
No. Detection runs entirely on a rule engine with zero token cost. A future Pro tier may add real-time AI citation checks, but the core score never depends on an LLM.
05Which AI engines do you check for?+
We evaluate crawlability for the major AI crawlers — GPTBot (OpenAI), Google-Extended (Gemini / AI Overviews), PerplexityBot, Claude-Web (Anthropic) and Common Crawl (CCBot).
06What does the 0–100 score mean?+
It's a weighted blend of five dimensions: Crawlability (20%), Structured Data (25%), Extractability (25%), Answer Readiness (20%) and Visibility (10%). 90+ is excellent, 70+ good, 50+ average, 30+ poor, below 30 critical.
07Why is my page "Poor" if it loads fine?+
Human-visible ≠ AI-readable. Common killers: no structured data, missing FAQ/Q&A pairs, thin content, or a JS-rendered shell with no server HTML. The report pinpoints exactly which.
08What is a "veto" in the results?+
If a page is unreachable (non-200), its Crawlability score is 0 and the total is capped at 30. That red banner means fix access first — no content tweak will help until crawlers can reach the page.
09Can I check a client's website?+
Absolutely. Agencies can export a branded PDF or share an audit URL that reruns the same public page. Batch history and white-label branding are on the roadmap.
10Do you store the URLs I check?+
The basic check is stateless. Optional signed-in history (a later release) stores only the URL, score and timestamp so you can track trends.
11How fast is a check?+
Usually a few seconds. Slow target servers, redirects, and robots.txt responses can extend the check, and bounded timeouts prevent a stalled page from hanging indefinitely.
12Is it really free?+
Yes. The checker is free with no account. A Pro tier with real-time AI citation detection is planned but optional.
13Can I export the report as PDF?+
Yes. Every report has an "Export PDF" button that opens the browser's print dialog with a branded score summary, all five dimensions, rule evidence, recommendations, and any available code examples.
14Do you support languages other than English?+
The tool is English-first. Several answer-readiness checks currently rely on English-language patterns, so non-English pages may score lower than they should. Broader multilingual analysis is on the roadmap.
15How do I improve a low score quickly?+
Start with the Critical cards: add JSON-LD (FAQPage + HowTo + Organization), write 3+ FAQ Q&A pairs, and ensure the page returns HTTP 200 with AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt. Each fix typically lifts the score 5–10 points.
