What we check

Eight categories. Twenty-plus signals.

Each scan runs a prioritized set of heuristics derived from how public LLM crawlers actually parse and cite web pages.

  • 01

    Schema markup

    Identifies whether your page exposes the structured data formats that AI engines pull citations from.

  • 02

    Content structure

    Evaluates how readily an LLM can extract a usable answer from your page.

  • 03

    Citation signals

    Measures the credibility signals AI models weigh when deciding whether to cite a source.

  • 04

    Entity consistency

    Checks whether your page presents a consistent identity across the signals AI engines cross-reference.

  • 05

    Heading hierarchy

    Assesses how cleanly your page structure maps to the way LLMs segment content for retrieval.

  • 06

    AI crawlability

    Verifies whether the major AI crawlers can actually access your page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Answer Engine Optimization?
    AEO is the practice of structuring content so that AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can reliably extract and cite it. Where SEO optimizes for rankings, AEO optimizes for being the source the AI quotes.
  • How is AEO different from SEO?
    SEO wins clicks; AEO wins citations. SEO rewards keyword density and backlinks; AEO rewards structured data, direct answers, entity clarity, and crawlability for LLM bots. A well-SEO'd page can still be invisible to AI engines if it buries the answer.
  • Which AI engines does this help with?
    The heuristics target the public LLM crawlers: GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and Applebot-Extended. Improvements here generally carry over to AI Overviews and other retrieval-augmented systems.
  • Do I need to sign up?
    No. Paste a URL, get a score. An account only becomes relevant if you want to track changes over time or scan multiple pages in one pass.
  • How accurate is the score?
    The score is a weighted heuristic across eight categories (schema 20%, content structure 20%, others 10%). It is not a guarantee of ranking. It is a checklist of signals that demonstrably correlate with AI citation rates.
  • Can I scan a whole site?
    The free scanner is single-URL. Bulk scans, scheduled re-scans, and diff reports are planned for the account-backed product.
