Paste a URL and see whether your page is built so an AI assistant can lift a direct, citable answer. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity don't read like Google — they hunt for a clean, quotable answer. This scores the 7 structural signals that decide whether your page becomes the cited source or gets skipped.
Each check is a heuristic read of your live HTML — pass means the signal is genuinely present. AEO is about structure, not tricks.
This tool checks a single URL. AUDXY scores answer-readiness across your whole site, with the exact fixes — page by page, ranked by impact, so you know precisely what to change to get cited.
Run full AUDXY — free teaser →Answer engine optimization (AEO) is structuring your content so answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews — can find, extract and quote a direct answer from your page. Classic SEO got you ranked in a list of ten blue links; AEO gets you named as the source inside the AI's answer. The mechanics are different: AI assistants reward a concise lead answer, question-shaped headings, lists and tables, clear definitions, FAQ schema and concrete specifics — the exact signals this tool checks.
Lead with the answer in the first sentence, not a marketing wind-up. Phrase your subheadings as the questions people actually ask, then answer each one directly underneath. Break facts into <ul>/<ol> lists and tables an AI can lift verbatim. Add FAQPage JSON-LD so the engine knows which question maps to which answer. Define your key terms in one plain sentence ("X is …"), and back claims with concrete specifics — numbers, dates, prices, names — instead of vague claims. Run this checker, fix the red ✗ items, and re-check; the tool reads the live page, so improvements show up as soon as they're deployed.
