Get your free analysis
The audit returns an overall score plus three sub-scores — SEO, AEO, and GEO — each with a per-check breakdown of what passed and what failed.
Apply the fixes
Every failed check ships with a specific, copyable fix. Work through the list and re-run the audit to confirm.
What you get (for free)
Nine audit checks, three scored areas. Each card maps to a block in your audit output.
What an AEO Audit Checks
Grades your page on the signals that decide whether an answer engine can extract a direct response: FAQ and schema markup, definitional statements, self-contained paragraphs, statistics, and summary sections.
LLM SEO Checker
Scores how well a large language model can read, retain, and reuse your content. Checks semantic landmarks, content structure, entity clarity via JSON-LD, and crawler access for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended.
AI SEO Audit
Grades classic ranking signals and AI-search signals in one pass, so the fixes reinforce each other. Returns three scores side by side — SEO, AEO, and GEO — each built from overlapping audit checks.
GEO Audit
Measures whether your page is the kind of source a generative engine would cite. Checks AI-bot access in robots.txt, trust signals (email, address, authority links, author byline), content freshness, and entity schema.
On-Page SEO Checker
Covers the fundamentals: title tag, meta description, single H1, heading hierarchy, internal links, image alt text, canonical tag, Open Graph tags, and sitemap inclusion. A page that fails the basics rarely makes it into an LLM retrieval set.
Trust & Hallucination Guard
Checks on-page trust markers: author byline, contact email, phone number, physical address, authority profile links, and price parity between schema markup and visible text — the main source of LLM hallucination about products.
Why it matters
Rank on Google and get cited by AI
A page can rank #1 on Google and never get cited by Perplexity, or vice versa. The three optimization disciplines pull in different directions if you treat them separately — this audit grades all three so the fixes reinforce each other.
- Classic SEO gets you into the blue-link results
- AEO gets you extracted as the direct answer
- GEO gets you cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity
