FAQ
A GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) audit checks whether your website content is structured to be cited by AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and selected as a direct answer in Google AI Overviews and featured snippets. It covers Technical SEO, Schema & Structured Data, GEO signals, AEO signals, Local SEO, and AI Visibility — 200+ checks in one report.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini cite and reference your content when answering user questions. Key GEO signals include an llms.txt file, allowing AI crawlers in robots.txt, high E-E-A-T content, named authors, quotable statistics, and entity clarity. Our audit checks all of these.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on getting your content selected as the direct answer in Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask results — the position above rank 1. The strongest AEO signals are FAQPage schema, HowTo schema, clear Q&A-structured content, E-E-A-T signals, and content that directly answers specific questions. Our audit checks FAQPage and HowTo schema presence, question-heading detection, and content structure.
The audit runs 200+ checks across six modules: (1) Technical SEO — title tags, meta descriptions, H1 structure, canonical tags, robots.txt, XML sitemap, image alt text, Open Graph tags, and duplicate content. (2) Schema & Structured Data — Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, Product, Article, FAQPage, HowTo, and BreadcrumbList schemas. (3) GEO — llms.txt presence, AI bot permissions in robots.txt, author attribution, and content depth for AI extraction. (4) AEO — FAQPage schema site-wide, HowTo schema, question-heading detection. (5) Local SEO — LocalBusiness schema, contact page quality, NAP consistency. (6) AI Visibility — AI-based check of whether AI engines recognise your brand and how it describes you.

This requires the Starter or Pro plan.
Fixing GEO-related issues significantly increases your chances of being cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and AI assistants. The highest-impact fixes are: allowing AI crawlers in robots.txt (blocking GPTBot, PerplexityBot, or other AI crawlers is the #1 mistake), adding llms.txt, publishing comprehensive content with named authors, adding Organization schema, and ensuring your content is quotable (specific statistics, definitions, and how-to explanations). Our audit finds all of these.
Most audits complete in 30–90 seconds. The free plan (5 pages) is faster; the Pro plan (50 pages) takes up to 90 seconds. The AI layer adds 10–15 seconds for AI processing. You'll see a real-time progress indicator while the audit runs.
