Free AI Visibility AuditIs your website readable and citable by AI answer engines?Audit how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews crawl, read, trust, and cite your site across 25 deterministic checks - in seconds.
01 · SEARCH PARADIGM SHIFTWhy Classic SEO Misses AI Answer Engines
Ranking on page one of Google no longer guarantees recommendation inside ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Claude, or Google AI Overviews. Answer engines parse raw server HTML, entity graphs, and concise factual blocks rather than client-rendered visual polish.
01Raw Fetchers Skip Heavy JS
Most LLM crawlers inspect your initial HTTP HTML response. Client-hydrated React/Vue shells appear nearly blank unless critical copy and schemas ship via SSR.
02Entities Replace Loose Keywords
Models cross-reference Organization @id nodes, sameAs profiles, and explicit FAQPage/Service schemas to verify who to credit safely.
03Verbatim Fact Extraction Wins
Pages built with 40–75 word direct summary paragraphs, semantic comparison tables, and /llms.txt routing win 3x more answer-box citations.
02 · DETERMINISTIC RUBRICInside the 6-Pillar, 30-Point Cr8v Scoring Engine
Unlike shallow meta-tag checkers, every URL goes through 30 weighted inspections modeled directly on how modern retrieval pipelines discover, parse, verify, and act on web sources.
Bot Discovery & Access20 ptsValidates robots.txt rules across 8 named AI bots, XML sitemap health, root /llms.txt index, canonical hygiene, and HTTP 200 clean routing.
Raw Server Rendering20 ptsMeasures raw word count without JS hydration, TTFB/DOM payload budget, HTML5 landmarks, clean H1–H3 outline, and title/lang metadata.
Entity & Schema Graph20 ptsAudits JSON-LD validity, Organization/Person + sameAs reconciliation, AEO schemas, cross-linked @id graph edges, and OpenGraph cards.
Extractable Answers15 ptsScores question-phrased headings, self-contained 40–75 word answer blocks, lists & comparison tables, quantifiable facts, and chunkable formatting.
Authority & Provenance15 ptsChecks HTTPS security headers, Privacy/Terms governance links, Contact/About pathways, authorship + dateModified freshness, and brand unity.

04 · METHODOLOGY & FAQFrequently Asked Questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website so AI answer engines - like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews - can crawl your raw HTML, verify who you are, and directly quote your pages as sources.How is the 100-point AEO Score calculated?
Every scan runs 25 deterministic technical and content checks across 5 weighted pillars: Crawlable (25 pts), Readable (20 pts), Structured (25 pts), Trusted (15 pts), and Citable (15 pts). Scores of 80+ are ready to be cited; 50-79 are partly visible; under 50 are largely invisible to AI.Why inspect raw HTML instead of a headless browser?
Most AI fetchers (including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot) read raw HTTP responses without running heavy client-side JavaScript. If your page ships an empty JS shell, AI engines see a blank page even if humans see a full website.Should I block AI crawlers in robots.txt?
Only if you want to opt out of appearing in AI answers. If you want AI search engines to recommend and link to your brand, allow OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended while keeping private admin paths disallowed.What is llms.txt and do I really need it?
llms.txt is a lightweight Markdown index at your domain root (/llms.txt) that tells LLMs which pages on your site are canonical, high-signal resources. Adding one takes minutes and helps AI agents skip navigation noise.What happens to my scanned URL and email?
Scan snapshots are cached briefly to prevent redundant crawls and support shareable report links. If you enter an email to unlock full remediation prompts or request an audit, we only use it to deliver your report and follow up if requested. PAGE
