AEO audit

Answer Engine Optimization in one click. We check the 6 signals AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) use to decide which sites to cite — plus the common AI-blocking misconfigs that hurt visibility.

Why AEO matters in 2026

~40% of search queries now start in AI interfaces (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude). These engines don't crawl like Google — they extract structured data, prioritize fresh content, and weight cited sources. A site that's perfectly optimized for SEO can be invisible to AI engines if it's missing AEO basics.

The 6 signals we check

  1. llms.txt — explicit context for AI crawlers
  2. JSON-LD structured data — extractable facts
  3. FAQPage schema — direct Q&A blocks
  4. Date signals — freshness for citation ranking
  5. Canonical URL — single source of truth
  6. Open Graph metadata — share previews + AI fallback
