Question 1

What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

AEO is the practice of structuring your website so that AI language models — like those powering ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — can easily discover, understand, and cite your site. It includes technical signals like llms.txt, structured data (JSON-LD), and explicit AI crawler permissions.

Question 2

How much does an AEO audit cost?

Accepted Answer

The site audit is free for guests (3 audits) and free members (5 audits/month). Pro is $399/month for 100 audits/month plus full access to citation probing, competitor comparison, industry benchmarks, and all recommendations.

Question 3

What does an AEO audit check?

Accepted Answer

An AEO audit runs checks across 6 categories: llms.txt presence and quality, JSON-LD structured data, AI crawler access via robots.txt, sitemap and canonical tags, content quality and semantic HTML, and optionally live citation probing across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
