What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring your website so that AI-powered tools - like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews - can read, understand, and cite your business as a trusted source.
Traditional SEO gets you into search results. AEO gets you into answers.
Why This Matters Now
In 2025 and 2026, AI search crossed a threshold: millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini questions that they used to Google. Those tools pull answers directly from websites - or skip sites entirely if the content isn't structured correctly.
Businesses with low AEO scores are invisible to AI search. Those with high scores get cited as authoritative sources - for free.
Common Questions
What is an AEO score?
An AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) score measures how well your website is structured for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in search results, AEO measures whether AI systems can find, understand, and cite your business in their answers.
What does this tool check?
The AEO Readiness Score checks 10 key signals: schema markup, meta descriptions, content crawlability, FAQ structure, HTTPS security, title tag quality, heading hierarchy, image accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and internal linking patterns. Each category contributes to your total score out of 100.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. The AEO Readiness Score is completely free and gives you a real, actionable assessment of your website based on server-side analysis of your actual pages. For a comprehensive audit with competitive analysis, content strategy, and a custom implementation plan, you can schedule a consultation with our team.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking your website in traditional search engine results pages. AEO focuses on getting your business cited as a direct answer by AI-powered tools. Both matter, but AEO is becoming increasingly important as more people use AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity to find information and make decisions - often without ever clicking to a website.
