invisible

The AI Traffic Problem

Traditional SEO won't get you cited by AI.

Google rankings and AI citations are two completely different systems. A #1 ranking on Google does not mean ChatGPT will mention you. AI engines read your website differently — and most sites fail the test.

"The websites AI cites most are those structured for answers, not for rankings."

We audit your site against the exact signals that AI language models look for — from how your robots.txt handles AI crawlers, to whether your content is formatted to be cited as a source.

01
Submit

Enter your URL

Submit your website URL and email above. Our scanner immediately begins crawling your site the same way AI bots do — checking every technical signal.

02
Analyze

We run the audit

We check 30+ data points across robots.txt, schema markup, content structure, sitemap, page speed, and E-E-A-T authority signals — then score each dimension.

03
Report

Get your score & fixes

You receive a detailed report with your AI Visibility Score (0–100), a ranked list of issues, and specific fix recommendations prioritized by impact.

Audit Dimensions

Six dimensions. One score.

Every audit covers these critical areas of AI visibility.

🤖

Bot Access

We check your robots.txt for blocks against GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and 8 other AI crawlers. One wrong rule can silence your entire site.

🧬

Structured Data

JSON-LD schema is how you speak directly to AI. We check for FAQPage, Organization, Article, HowTo, and more — the types AI engines cite most.

🏷️

Meta & Open Graph

Title tags, meta descriptions, OG tags, and canonicals. Weak metadata means AI can't confidently identify or describe your content.

📝

Content Signals

Word count, heading hierarchy, FAQ presence, semantic HTML, definition-style writing, author bios, and E-E-A-T indicators.

Sitemap Coverage

Is your sitemap.xml present, accurate, and declared in robots.txt? AI crawlers use sitemaps to discover every page you want cited.

10% of score

Speed & Crawlability

Page load time, HTTPS, JS rendering issues, and broken links. Slow or broken pages get skipped entirely by AI crawlers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about AEO and our audit service.

An AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) audit evaluates how visible your website is to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. It checks technical signals including robots.txt bot access, JSON-LD structured data, meta tags, content structure, sitemap coverage, and page speed — then scores each dimension and identifies specific fixes.

Most websites are optimized for Google search rankings but not for AI citation. Common reasons include blocking AI bots in robots.txt, missing JSON-LD structured data, thin or unstructured content, no FAQ schema, and slow page load times that cause AI crawlers to skip the page entirely.

The audit checks access for GPTBot (OpenAI/ChatGPT), ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai (Anthropic/Claude), PerplexityBot (Perplexity AI), Googlebot (Google/Gemini), Bingbot (Microsoft/Copilot), YouBot (You.com), cohere-ai (Cohere), and Applebot (Apple/Siri).

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search engines like Google. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on getting your website cited as a source by AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. The two systems use different signals — a top Google ranking does not guarantee AI citation.

The free mini-audit report is delivered within 24 hours of submission. The Deep Audit and Full Strategy reports are typically delivered within 3–5 business days and include a consultation call.

AEOReadyAudit offers three options: a free Snapshot audit, a Deep Audit at $499 (one-time), and a Custom Solution for businesses needing hands-on implementation — contact us for a free discovery call to discuss your goals.
