Answer engine optimization
Free AEO Checker
Answer engines don't rank pages. They pick one answer. This free AEO checker tests whether your content is structured to be that answer, and shows you exactly what to change when it isn't.

What does AEO actually optimize for?
The extraction step. When ChatGPT or Perplexity assembles an answer, it pulls from pages it can crawl, parse, and trust. In practice that means open access for AI bots, headings that mirror real questions, concise answers directly under those headings, and a page that states its point early. Our guide to answer engine optimization covers the full picture. Read the full AEO guide.
How does the AEO checker score your page?
It runs the 21-check AIO Score methodology, published in full. Answer readiness carries 30 of the 100 points. Surfer measured that almost 40% of AI citations come from a page’s first 100 words, and question-style headings match the sub-queries engines generate, so those checks earn their weight. See the question-headings fix guide.
What should you fix first?
Retrievability, always. If GPTBot or PerplexityBot is blocked by robots.txt or your firewall, nothing else matters. After that, rewrite your key headings as questions and open each section with a direct answer of under seventy words. Those three fixes move AEO scores more than anything else we measure.
The scan behind every checker runs the same open methodology.Read exactly how the AIO Score works before you trust any score, ours included. Prefer to have the fixes handled for you?See how the agency works.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers first. That happens to be the whole philosophy.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for answer engine optimization: structuring your content so answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can quote it directly. An answer engine gives one answer instead of ten links. AEO is the work of becoming that answer.
What does this AEO checker test?
It runs 21 checks across retrievability, machine-readable content, answer readiness, and structured-data hygiene. The answer-readiness group gets special weight here because it holds the signals answer engines care about most: an answer in your first 100 words, question-formatted headings, and a concise answer under each one.
Is AEO different from SEO?
The two overlap heavily. SEO optimizes for ranking in a results list, while AEO optimizes for being extracted and quoted as the answer itself. Since answer engines find their sources through search, ranking still matters. AEO adds answer-shaped writing and open access for AI crawlers on top.
Is this AEO audit really free?
Yes. You get the full 21-check report with fixes, no signup and no email gate. Free scans are how we earn trust for the paid monitoring we plan to launch later.
