FAQ

Common questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring website content so AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews can extract, understand, and cite it. AEO uses structured data, semantic HTML, quick answer blocks, and AI crawler access to improve AI visibility.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) focuses specifically on getting your content cited within AI-generated responses. While AEO emerged from featured snippets and voice search, GEO targets LLM-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. In practice, AEO and GEO overlap roughly 95% — both require structured data, semantic HTML, and AI crawler access.

How are AEO and GEO different from SEO?

SEO optimizes for search engine result pages with links. AEO and GEO optimize for AI-generated answers where your content is directly cited. While SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks, AEO/GEO focus on structured data, semantic HTML, and AI crawler access. You need both — Gartner predicts a 25% drop in traditional search volume by 2026.

What is an AI visibility score?

An AI visibility score is a 0-100 rating measuring how ready your website is for AI search engines. Our scanner evaluates 6 AEO/GEO factors: Quick Answer Blocks (20%), FAQ Schema (20%), Semantic HTML (20%), llms.txt (15%), AI Bot Access (15%), and HowTo Schema (10%).

How do I improve my AI visibility score?

Run a free scan to see which factors need work. Common fixes: add a 40-60 word definition block near your H1, implement FAQPage JSON-LD with 3+ questions, create an llms.txt file, use proper semantic HTML tags, and allow AI bots in robots.txt.

Which AI search engines does this check for?

We check compatibility with ChatGPT (GPTBot), Perplexity (PerplexityBot), Claude (ClaudeBot), Google AI Overviews (Google-Extended), Amazon Alexa (Amazonbot), Cohere, Diffbot, and ByteDance — 10 major AI crawlers total.

Is the scan free?

Yes. Free scans show your overall AI visibility score and pass/fail for all 6 factors. Paid plans (from $9.99/mo) unlock detailed analysis, fix-it guides with code snippets, and scan history.
