Is the AEO audit really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card. Enter any website URL and get a full 10-point analysis with scores, findings, and recommendations. We built this to help businesses understand their AI visibility gaps — the audit is the first step.
What happens after the audit?
You get detailed findings and our Knowledge Base guides to implement improvements yourself. Each criterion has an in-depth guide with code examples and common mistakes. If you want hands-on help, we offer AEO Content Optimization services to deploy the changes for you.
How quickly can I improve my AEO score?
Many improvements take a single day. Adding llms.txt, deploying Schema.org markup, updating robots.txt, fixing semantic HTML — all quick wins. Building FAQ sections and restructuring content for Q&A takes 1–2 weeks. Entity authority and original data are ongoing investments that compound over time.
Do I need technical skills to improve my AEO score?
Some improvements — writing FAQ content, adding author bios — require zero technical skills. Others — deploying JSON-LD schema, modifying robots.txt — require basic HTML knowledge or developer access. Our Knowledge Base guides include code examples for each criterion. For hands-on help, we offer professional services.
Can I compare my AEO score over time?
Yes. Every audit is versioned. You can see exactly how your score changed between audits — which criteria improved, which declined, and the overall trajectory. This is how you measure the impact of your AEO work.
What is the fastest way to improve my AI visibility?
Start with high-impact, low-effort wins: (1) Create an llms.txt file, (2) Add Organization JSON-LD to your homepage, (3) Update robots.txt to allow AI crawlers, (4) Add FAQPage schema to existing FAQ content. These four changes take under a day and typically produce noticeable improvements within weeks.
What should I prioritize if my score is below 40?
A score below 40 means several fundamentals are missing — like Crisp (34) and HelpCrunch (33) in our Customer Support benchmarks. Focus on: (1) llms.txt — quick to create, high impact, (2) Schema.org — Organization schema at minimum, (3) robots.txt — make sure you're not blocking AI bots, (4) Clean HTML — content must be in the page source, not behind JavaScript.
How much does AEO optimization cost?
The audit is free. Self-implementation using our Knowledge Base guides costs nothing but your time. For professional AEO optimization, we build custom programs based on your industry, competitive landscape, and goals. Schedule a free consultation to discuss what makes sense for your business.
Can I implement AEO improvements on WordPress?
Yes. WordPress has excellent AEO support. Use Yoast SEO for schema markup, create llms.txt via FTP or a custom plugin, edit robots.txt through Yoast or directly, and build FAQ pages with Gutenberg blocks. Most WordPress themes already produce clean, crawlable HTML.
Can I implement AEO improvements on Shopify?
Yes, though Shopify requires some workarounds. Use apps like JSON-LD for SEO for schema markup, create llms.txt through the theme editor, modify robots.txt through Shopify admin, and build FAQ sections in product descriptions and dedicated pages. Shopify produces server-rendered HTML, which is good for AI crawlability.
What is the minimum viable AEO setup for a new website?
Four things on day one: (1) Organization JSON-LD schema on every page, (2) a well-structured llms.txt at your domain root, (3) robots.txt explicitly allowing GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, (4) at least one FAQ page with FAQPage schema. This baseline takes a few hours and establishes the foundation everything else builds on.
