AEO / AI Search
AEO Checker
Crawlable only gets you read. Answerable is what gets you quoted. This grades how easily ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can lift a clean answer off your page — and shows you the exact passage they would take.
Fetches the page server-side and reads only what a crawler sees — no JavaScript is run, same as a real AI crawler.
Answerable and crawlable not the same thing
An AI answer engine does two things: it fetches your page, then it hunts for a self-contained passage it can quote and attribute. Most pages clear the first step and fail the second — the answer is buried three paragraphs down, split across a 200-word block, or written such that it only makes sense with the rest of the page around it. This tool grades the second step.
What gets graded
Answerable structure (30)
Question-shaped headings with a real answer underneath. This one is the strongest pattern of the lot — it matches the question-and-answer shape the models are built around.
Answer-first lead (20)
Whether the opening paragraph answers the page question on its own, in roughly 60 words or fewer. Engines lift the top of the page much more often than the middle.
Machine-readable markup (25)
FAQPage / HowTo / Article / Organization JSON-LD. Schema hands the engine your facts straight, instead of making it guess them from your prose.
Chunkability (15)
Short paragraphs, lists and tables quote cleanly. Long blocks with no breaks damn hard to cut a snippet out of without losing the meaning.
Trust signals (10)
An author and a date. Answer engines prefer sources they can attribute and age-check.
Frequently asked questions
AEO and SEO different or not?
They overlap, but they optimise for different outcomes. SEO fights for a click on a ranked list. AEO fights to be the passage an assistant reads out or cites, which often means no click at all — so the wording, structure and schema of the answer matter more than the keyword density around it.
High score means confirm get cited?
No. Citation depends on the engine, the query, your authority, and your competitors — none of which any tool can see. This grades the part you control: whether a clean, self-contained, attributable answer exists on the page for an engine to take.
Why the score ignore my keywords?
Because answer engines match meaning, not strings. What decides whether you get quoted is whether a passage answers a question completely on its own. Keyword tools already cover the ranking side — this one deliberately does not duplicate them.
FAQPage schema still worth adding or not?
For AI answers, yes. Google cut back FAQ rich results in ordinary search, but the markup still hands answer engines a clean, pre-parsed question-and-answer pair, which is exactly the shape they want. This tool generates it from the questions already sitting in your page.
Why this tool does not run JavaScript?
Because AI crawlers also do not. If your answers only appear after JavaScript runs, the engine sees an empty page — so the tool deliberately reads what they read. If your score looks off, check whether the content is server-rendered.
