New: SEO & AEO scanning — see how Google ranks you and how ChatGPT, Claude & Perplexity cite youSee how it works
Check whether AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI — can crawl, parse, and cite your site. 45 checks.
Overview
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the new half of being found online: instead of ranking links, AI assistants compose answers and cite a handful of sources. The AEO Scanner runs 45 checks across AI crawler access, content extractability, readability, structured data, and trust signals — plus a per-engine access matrix covering ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot, Meta AI, and Mistral.
What this scanner does
Probes your site as each major AI crawler (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more) to detect robots.txt rules and WAF blocks that hide you from specific engines. Verifies your content survives without JavaScript, measures how liftable your headings, lists, and tables are, checks llms.txt, schema.org depth, entity grounding, and trust signals like authorship and dates.
Why it matters
A growing share of buyers never see a search results page — they ask ChatGPT or Perplexity and act on the answer. If AI crawlers are blocked or your content only exists after client-side rendering, you are invisible in those answers while competitors get cited. AEO failures are silent: nothing looks broken, you just never come up.
