§ 01What the scan checks
What the scan checks
Citability score
Whether your passages are quotable: self-contained answers, clear claims and stats an AI can lift with attribution.
Answer-ready structure
Question-shaped headings, concise definitions and FAQ blocks — the formats answer engines prefer to quote.
Schema for answer engines
FAQPage, Organization and sameAs signals that anchor your entity so engines know who is answering.
llms.txt & AI policies
Emerging standards that summarize your site for LLMs and state how AI systems may use it.
Off-page brand authority
Mentions on Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia and LinkedIn — the platforms answer engines learn to trust from.
§ 02How it works
How it works
How it runs
We test whether your page can become the answer
Answer engines don't return ten blue links — they return one synthesized response and credit a few sources. The scan inspects the signals that decide who gets quoted: schema markup (and whether your JSON-LD validates), passage-level citability, heading and Q&A structure, and how cleanly facts are stated. It scores each in about 30 seconds so you can see how liftable your content really is.
What you act on
Specific rewrites, not generic advice
The free score flags exactly which passages read as quotable answers and which bury the point too deep for an engine to extract. You'll know if missing or invalid schema is costing you attribution. The first scan per URL is free after a Google sign-in — no credit card — with the full passage-by-passage report and auto-fixes available on a paid plan.
§ 03Why it matters
AEO vs SEO: ranking is not the same as being cited
SEO earns you a position on a results page. AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — earns you a sentence in the answer itself: the quote, the citation, the recommended brand.
Answer engines do not rank ten blue links; they synthesize one response from sources they can crawl, parse and trust. If GPTBot is blocked, your schema is thin or your content has no liftable passages, you are invisible at the exact moment a buyer asks.
The free AEO scan measures exactly those gates — access, structure, citability, authority — and returns a 0–100 score with prioritized fixes.
