AEO Audit: Can Answer Engines Quote Your Pages?
Quick answer
An AEO audit checks whether answer engines can lift a direct answer from your pages. It looks for a short standalone answer near the top, question-form headings, valid FAQ and HowTo schema, and scannable facts. Our $9 Quick Audit scores your home page and up to 15 more pages on AEO, plus separate SEO and GEO scores, with a fix list.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is about making each page easy to lift as a direct answer. This audit checks every page for the structure answer engines rely on and tells you exactly what to add.

What is an AEO audit?
An AEO audit reviews your pages the way an answer engine reads them. Answer engines — featured snippets, voice assistants and AI answer boxes — look for a short, standalone answer near the top of a page, headings phrased as the questions people ask, and structured data that labels questions and steps.
If those signals are missing, a page can rank and still never be quoted. The audit shows which pages lack them and what to change.
What does our AEO audit check on each page?
Every page is fetched once and run through the AEO checks independently of SEO and GEO:
- A standalone quick answer of roughly 40–90 words near the top.
- Headings written as real questions.
- FAQPage and HowTo structured data that is valid and matches visible text.
- Scannable key-facts lists, steps and comparison tables.
- Clear entity and definition statements an engine can extract.
What do you get from the Quick Audit?
An AEO score for each page, a list of failed checks in priority order, the specific fix for each, and a downloadable report you can hand to a writer or developer. The same run also gives you separate SEO and GEO scores, so you see the full picture without paying three times.
Scores measure readiness against documented checks. They do not measure or guarantee rankings in Google or citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews — those depend on competition, authority and each engine's own choices.

How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO helps a page rank in search results. AEO helps a page be quoted as the answer itself — in featured snippets, voice results and AI answer boxes. A page can rank well and still be skipped as an answer if it lacks a clear, standalone answer and question-based structure.
How long does an AEO audit take?
The Quick Audit usually finishes within a few minutes. You get scores for each page, a prioritised fix list and a downloadable CSV and PDF report.
Does a high AEO score guarantee featured snippets?
No. The score measures readiness against documented checks. Whether an engine quotes you also depends on competition, authority and the engine's own choices.
