Free AEO checker

When a buyer asks for a recommendation, does your business appear? Run the free scan, then use the answer engine optimization checklist to improve the pages that answer those questions.

Free, no sign-up. A snapshot of AI answers, with observed website issues. No ranking or mention is guaranteed.

AEO is answer engine optimization: making useful business information easy to find and understand when people ask questions. This check samples buyer questions with AI assistants and reads your homepage for business details and access problems. It helps you identify missing answers. It does not test voice assistants or measure whether you hold a Google featured snippet.

What answer engine optimization means here

Enter your public websiteUse the homepage of the business you want to check. The scan reads that page to identify the business and start the existing visibility check.
Read the questions and the findingsWatch the sampled answers arrive, then review observed mentions, businesses named instead and homepage issues. Failed answers cannot establish that you are absent.
Choose one change and check againUse the checklist below to choose your next step. Make the change on your site, then compare the same questions in another run. The scan does not edit your website.

Turn your AEO result into better answers

Choose a question a customer would ask
Start with one question shown in the report. Check that it fits what you sell and where you serve customers. Use the question explorer to see the prompts in AIGROW research before deciding which topic needs a page.
Write an answer the buyer can use
Give a direct answer near the relevant heading, then explain your service area, conditions and supporting evidence. Keep important information in readable page text. Avoid adding FAQ sections that repeat keywords without answering a real question.
Keep markup consistent with the answer
Describe the business accurately in structured data and keep it consistent with the page. Schema helps describe content; it cannot force an answer engine to choose you. Recheck after publishing and review which questions still omit your business.

AEO checker questions

It runs the existing AIGROW website scan: sampled questions, business mentions, businesses named instead and observed homepage issues. It measures one run of those questions, rather than every answer engine or every question your customers ask.

AEO focuses on answering questions, including direct answers. GEO means generative engine optimization and focuses on visibility in generated responses. The terms overlap. This checker tests sampled AI answers; it does not claim to measure every channel covered by either term.

No. It does not inspect Google search result layouts or run voice assistant tests. Use it for the AI questions and website observations shown in the report, and check other channels separately.

There is no guarantee. An accurate FAQ can help readers, and structured data should describe what the page actually shows. A useful answer, an accessible page and accurate business information still do not prove that an assistant will cite you.
