What is an AEO Audit & How Does It Work?

An AEO Audit (Answer Engine Optimization Audit) evaluates how effectively conversational AI search engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Anthropic Claude, and Google AI Overviews) can crawl, ingest, comprehend, and cite your website as the primary direct factual source.

01

AI Crawler & Bot Governance

AI search engines rely on dedicated crawler agents (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended). An AEO audit inspects your robots.txt and edge firewalls to ensure AI indexing is never silently blocked.

02

Entity Knowledge Graphs

LLMs verify factual authority via connected Schema.org @graph entities and Wikidata triples. An AEO audit analyzes your JSON-LD syntax, organizational identity, and sameAs links to prevent AI hallucination and brand misattribution.

03

40–60 Word Direct Answers

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models quote concise, self-contained factual paragraphs. An AEO audit assesses your heading hierarchy (H1 ➔ H2 ➔ H3) and scores the extractability of answer summaries across all key landing pages.

AEO Audit vs Traditional SEO Audit

Understanding the paradigm shift from 10 blue links to conversational AI answers.
