The question is: Is your website one of the pages these AI engines pull from — or are you invisible to this new channel?

We built the AEO Readiness Checker to answer that question. It’s a free, no-signup tool that analyzes any web page across 18 AEO signals and tells you exactly what’s working, what’s missing, and how to fix it.

Why AEO Matters for Your Business

Traditional SEO gets you ranked in search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets you cited in the answer itself. When a potential customer asks an AI assistant, “What’s the best approach for WordPress development outsourcing?” — the AI pulls its response from pages that are structured to be quotable: clear answer-first paragraphs, question-based headings, proper schema markup, and authoritative content.

Pages that score well on AEO readiness are discoverable through an entirely new traffic channel — one that’s growing rapidly as AI search adoption increases. The opportunity cost of ignoring AEO grows with every month you delay.

What the Checker Analyzes

Our tool evaluates your page across four weighted categories:

• Content and answer signals (48 points): Does your content lead with direct answers? Are your headings structured as questions? Do you have concise, quotable paragraphs that AI engines can extract?
• Schema and structured data (30 points): Does your page have JSON-LD, FAQPage, Article, or HowTo schema that tells AI engines what your content means?
• Technical SEO (17 points): Are the fundamentals in place — meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, canonical tags, Open Graph tags?
• Content quality (11 points): What’s your content-to-code ratio? Do images have alt text? Are you referencing authoritative sources?

Additionally, the tool checks whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) are blocked in your robots.txt — the single most common reason pages go uncited by AI engines.

Who Should Use This Tool

The AEO Readiness Checker is designed for content-heavy pages — service pages, blog posts, informational articles, and landing pages. It’s especially valuable for:

• SEO professionals who want to expand their optimization strategy beyond traditional search
• Marketing teams who are evaluating whether their content is AI-search-ready
• Web development agencies looking to offer AEO services to their clients
• Business owners who want to understand how AI search engines perceive their website

For e-commerce product pages, we’re developing dedicated modules for PrestaShop, Magento, and WooCommerce that evaluate product-specific AEO signals like Product schema, structured pricing, and review markup.

How to Use the Results

Every failed check returns a page-specific recommendation — not generic advice. The tool tells you what’s wrong on your actual page and provides actionable steps to fix it.

Start with content signals since they carry the most weight. Restructure your headings as questions, add answer-first paragraphs after each heading, and ensure your content depth exceeds 800 words for key pages. Then move to schema implementation and technical refinements.
