Question 1

What is an AEO checker?

Accepted Answer

An AEO checker audits a web page for the signals that answer engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews use to read, understand and cite content, and gives it a score from 0 to 100.

Question 2

How is the AEO score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The checker downloads your page, parses its HTML and JSON-LD, reads your robots.txt and llms.txt, and scores nine groups of signals worth 100 points in total: answer readiness, structured data, FAQ and HowTo markup, technical basics, content depth, heading structure, trust and authorship, AI crawler access and answer extractability. Most checks give partial credit.

Question 3

Is this AEO checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. freeaeochecker.online is free with no signup.

Question 4

What is a good AEO score?

Accepted Answer

80 or higher is strong, 65 to 79 is good, 50 to 64 needs work, and below 50 means answer engines will probably struggle to use the page. Every failed check comes with a specific fix.

Question 5

Does a high score guarantee ChatGPT will cite my page?

Accepted Answer

No. Nobody outside the AI companies knows the exact citation rules. The score measures on-page signals that are widely recommended and that make a page easy to read and quote. It does not measure your authority or guarantee citations.

Question 6

How can I improve my AEO score?

Accepted Answer

Start with the Top fixes list in your results. Typical wins are a direct 25 to 60 word answer under the H1, Article and FAQPage schema, question-style headings, a named author with dates, an llms.txt file and letting AI crawlers through robots.txt.
