How it works
- Enter your site or a specific page URL (for example
https://example.com). - The tool fetches the page live, then follows internal links to sample up to five article/blog pages so the verdict reflects your real content — not just the homepage.
- It also reads your
robots.txt,llms.txtand sitemap to check whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot and more) are allowed. - Every signal is weighted by importance and rolled up into a 0–100 score, per-category sub-scores and an estimated readiness bar for each major AI platform.
- You get a prioritized list of what to fix — critical blockers first — each with a concrete how-to.
What it checks
- AI crawler access — whether robots.txt blocks generative-AI bots, HTTPS, server-side rendering (AI crawlers rarely run JavaScript), llms.txt and sitemap.
- Structured data — JSON-LD presence, Article/BlogPosting, FAQ/Q&A, Organization/WebSite and Breadcrumb schema.
- Answer-engine structure (AEO) — question-based headings, concise citable passages, lists, tables, a single clear H1 and TL;DR/summary blocks.
- E-E-A-T & trust — author bylines, publish/update dates, outbound citations, About/Contact pages and social profiles.
- Entity & semantic signals — titles, meta descriptions, semantic HTML5, image ALT text, internal linking and canonicals.
- Content depth & freshness — in-depth coverage, a real content hub and visible freshness signals.
Why GEO & AEO matter
AI answer engines increasingly sit between your content and your audience. When someone asks an AI a question, the model pulls short, well-structured, well-sourced passages from pages it can crawl and trust — and cites them. If your content is locked behind JavaScript, missing structured data, or written as long unstructured prose, AI simply can't extract a clean answer from it. Optimizing for GEO and AEO makes your pages easy to parse, quote and attribute, so your brand shows up inside AI answers, not just traditional search results.
How to improve your score
Start with the critical blockers the report surfaces first: allow AI crawlers in robots.txt, serve your main content in the initial HTML, and add JSON-LD structured data. Then work the answer-engine wins — phrase headings as the questions users ask, answer each in two to four self-contained sentences, add FAQ schema, and expose author names and update dates. Re-run the checker after each change to watch your score climb and confirm the fixes landed.
