What the AEO audit checks

AI crawlers past your firewall

We request your site as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. Bot protection and WAF rules often block them without anyone noticing.

AI crawler rules in robots.txt

Rules for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, plus your XML sitemap.

Readable without JavaScript

Most AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. We check how much of your page is in the raw HTML they actually get.

Structured data

Whether your page has schema.org markup that tells AI engines who you are and what you sell.

A clear page summary

A title, meta description and one H1 that state what the page is about, so engines can quote it.

llms.txt

Whether you have one. Google says AI Overviews need no special files, so it is never the first fix.

Security source citations

On security sites, every NIST, MITRE ATT&CK and CISA link checked: it loads and points to the control, technique or advisory it names.

Speed, SEO and security

PageSpeed on mobile and desktop, indexing, canonical, broken links, HTTPS and security headers.

What a scan can't tell you

A scan reads your code. It can't tell you whether ChatGPT recommends you, what it says about you, or who it names instead. That takes a person reading the AI answers to your buyers' real questions.

AEO audit questions

What is an AEO audit?

An AEO (answer engine optimisation) audit checks whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can reach, read and cite your website. An SEO audit asks if a page can rank. An AEO audit asks if AI can reuse it and name you.

Is this AEO audit free?

Yes. Log in with your email and you get 5 free checks, each with a full report. Pro adds unlimited checks and the exact fixes for every issue.

Which AI crawlers does it check?

It requests your homepage as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot to see if your firewall or bot protection blocks them, and reads your robots.txt rules for those bots plus ChatGPT-User and Google-Extended.

What is the difference between search bots and training bots?

Training bots like GPTBot collect content to train AI models. Search bots like OAI-SearchBot build the index ChatGPT search answers from. You can block training and still allow search, so you stay out of model training but still show up in AI answers.

What does a good score look like?

90 or above is good, 50 to 89 needs work, and under 50 means AI engines and search engines are likely missing parts of your site.

Does the scan slow down or change my site?

No. It reads your public pages once, the way a visitor or search engine would, and changes nothing.

How often should I run an AEO audit?

After a redesign, a migration, a CMS change or new bot protection rules, and about once a quarter otherwise.

Can a scan tell me if ChatGPT recommends my business?

No. A scan reads your code. Whether ChatGPT or Perplexity names you, what they say about you and who they recommend instead takes a human audit of the AI answers for your buyers' questions.
