What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO is the practice of structuring your content so answer engines — Google featured snippets, "People Also Ask", and voice assistants like Siri and Alexa — can extract a clear, direct answer from your page and present it on their own surface. Where classic SEO competes to rank a link, AEO competes to be the answer.

How this AEO checker works

Paste your page's HTML (or enter a URL and we fetch it for you), and the tool analyses it in your browser against the signals answer engines reward, then gives you a score out of 100 and a specific fix for anything missing. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

What it checks

FAQ / How-To / Q&A schema — the strongest AEO signal.
Question-style headings that match how people ask.
A direct answer near the top of the page.
Lists and tables that snippet cleanly.
Title, meta description and a single clear H1.
Valid structured data and enough content depth.

How is AEO different from GEO?

AEO targets answer engines (snippets, voice). GEO targets generative engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews). They overlap but reward slightly different things — run both.
