Question 1

What is an AEO score?

Accepted Answer

An AEO score is a 0-100 rating that measures how visible and citable your website is to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It evaluates four dimensions: AI Crawlability, Structured Data, Content Clarity, and Entity Definition, each worth up to 25 points.

Question 2

How is the AEO score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The AEO score is calculated by scanning your website's publicly visible signals across four dimensions. AI Crawlability checks your robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap. Structured Data evaluates your JSON-LD schema markup. Content Clarity analyzes heading hierarchy, meta descriptions, and Q&A patterns. Entity Definition measures how clearly your organization and people are defined in structured data.

Question 3

What is a good AEO score?

Accepted Answer

An AEO score of 80 or above (Grade A) indicates strong AI search visibility. Scores between 60-79 (Grade B/C) show a solid foundation with room for improvement. Most websites score below 40, meaning they are largely invisible to AI search engines. Our clients average 97/100 after optimization.

Question 4

Is the AEO score checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the AEO score checker is completely free. Enter your website URL and get your score in about 60 seconds. You can also add up to two competitor URLs to see how you compare. No credit card required.

Question 5

What does the AEO checker measure?

Accepted Answer

The AEO checker measures four dimensions of AI search visibility: AI Crawlability (robots.txt AI directives, llms.txt, sitemap), Structured Data (JSON-LD schema types and richness), Content Clarity (heading hierarchy, meta descriptions, Q&A patterns, content depth), and Entity Definition (organization identity, people schemas, naming consistency).

Question 6

How can I improve my AEO score?

Accepted Answer

Start with the quick wins your score report identifies. Common improvements include adding an llms.txt file, implementing Organization and FAQPage JSON-LD schema, creating question-based content with clear answers, and ensuring consistent entity naming across your site. The full 7-stage AEO audit goes deeper with GA4, Search Console, and competitor analysis.
