AEO Audit Tools is a freemium AI-readiness scanner for websites. We help marketing teams, SEOs, and developers understand how visible their site is to AI answer engines — and give them a prioritized roadmap to improve it.
Buyers increasingly use ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to research software tools, vendors, and services. If your website isn't structured for AI consumption, you're invisible to a growing share of your potential customers.
We built AEO Audit Tools because there was no comprehensive scanner for measuring AI-readiness. The core audit — 40+ checks across 6+ categories — is available to all users, with advanced features like citation probing and competitor comparison on paid plans.
Presence, format, and quality of your llms.txt file — the signal AI crawlers look for first.
JSON-LD schemas (Organization, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage) that help AI parse your content.
Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended are permitted in robots.txt.
Sitemap, canonical tags, og:image, and meta descriptions that ground AI agent context.
Plus: content quality, semantic HTML, and optional live citation probing across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
All audit checks are deterministic HTML parsing — no AI cost, no guesswork. We crawl up to 15 key pages of your site, run the full check suite, and return a scored report in under a minute. Citation probing (optional, members only) sends 31 live queries to AI models to measure real-world visibility.
AEO Audit Tools was built by a small team of developers and marketers who were frustrated by the lack of tooling for AI visibility. We use the tool ourselves to monitor our own sites and are committed to keeping the core audit accessible to everyone.

AI Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring your website so that AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini — can accurately understand, cite, and recommend your brand. It extends traditional SEO with signals like llms.txt, FAQPage schema, and AI crawler access rules.
Our crawler fetches up to 15 key pages of your site and runs ~47 deterministic checks across 6 categories: llms.txt quality, structured data, AI crawler access, AI agent readiness, content quality, and semantic HTML. Every check is HTML parsing — no AI calls, no guesswork. Results are returned in under a minute.
AEO Audit Tools is freemium. Guests can run their first audit with no account needed. A free account unlocks 5 audits per month. The Pro plan adds 100 audits per month, AI citation probing across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, competitor comparison, and industry benchmarks. See full pricing.
Buyers increasingly ask AI assistants to recommend tools and vendors. If your site lacks structured data, llms.txt, and proper crawler access, AI models either ignore your brand or get key facts wrong. A higher AEO score means more accurate, more frequent citations across AI platforms.
