Free Answer Engine Optimization Tool

Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring a page so that AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude) can extract a clean answer from it and cite it. Unlike classic SEO, which optimizes for a ranked list of blue links, AEO optimizes for being the source a model quotes inside a generated answer. The signals that matter are different: a direct upfront answer, scannable structure, clear entities, structured data, and trustworthy authorship.

Our tool fetches your page server-side and scores it across six AEO readiness dimensions: answer structure (does the page lead with a direct answer and use lists or tables?), semantic chunking (clean heading order and short paragraphs an engine can split cleanly), question coverage (does it answer the questions engines pull from?), source authority (author, dates, citations, supporting data), entity clarity (are the page's core entities clear and consistent?), and schema presence (structured data that helps engines parse the page). Each dimension gets a sub-score and a one-line verdict.

The headline output is a single 0-100 readiness score (a weighted average that leans on answer structure and chunking, the two dimensions that matter most for extraction), the six-dimension breakdown, and a top-10 fix list ranked by AEO impact. Work the list top-down, since each fix is ordered by how much it moves your score, so you fix the highest-leverage thing first.

For Content and SEO Teams

• Get a fast read on whether a page is ready to be cited by AI answer engines, before you invest in a rewrite
• See which of the six dimensions is dragging the page down, not just a vague overall grade
• Hand writers a ranked, concrete fix list instead of "make it more AI-friendly"

For Agencies

• Run a quick readiness pass across client pages and triage which ones need work first
• Use the ranked fix list as a scope estimate for an AEO engagement
