Free AEO checker: is your content structured for AI answers?
Paste any URL and get a pass/fail across eight deterministic Answer Engine Optimization checks — the signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI can quote your page.
What does the AEO checker test?
Eight checks drawn from the full iCited audit: title and meta description shape, a single clear H1, question-style H2/H3 headings, concise answer paragraphs directly under headings, lists and tables, FAQ content or FAQPage schema, and Open Graph tags.
Why do these checks matter?
AI engines quote passages, not pages. The shape they lift is a question-styled heading followed by a direct one-to-three sentence answer, supported by lists, tables and machine-readable FAQ markup. Pages without that shape get skipped even when they rank.
What should I check after AEO?
AEO is one of four categories — the free 29-check audit adds E-E-A-T trust signals, AI crawlability and content structure for the complete picture, and the E-E-A-T checker covers the trust layer on its own.
