questions
Short answers, quotable standalone — the way we score everyone else's.
All questions & answersWhat is an AEO score?
An AEO score is a 0–100 measure of how likely a page is to be read, extracted, and cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. AEOCrawler computes it across nine weighted dimensions, from direct answers and structured data to entity clarity and freshness.
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility is how likely your content is to be read, understood, and cited by AI answer engines. It depends on extractable answers, structured data, entity clarity, and question coverage — not on traditional rankings alone. AEOCrawler measures it as a composite of nine scored dimensions.
Is the AEO scorer free?
Yes. The 9-dimension scorer is free to run on any URL, with no signup. You get the composite score, the per-dimension breakdown, and the weakest dimensions to fix first. Paid tiers add crawls, citation verification, monitoring, and the MCP fix-list for AI coding agents.
How does AEO scoring work?
AEOCrawler fetches your page the way an AI crawler does, then scores nine dimensions: Direct Answer, Citation Potential, Structured Data, Entity Clarity, Query Coverage, Semantic Coverage, Conciseness, Readability, and Content Freshness. The weighted sum is your AI Visibility score. The full weights are public in our scoring framework.
Can I fix my AEO score from Claude Code or Cursor?
Yes. AEOCrawler exposes your page’s fix-list over MCP, so an AI coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor can read the prioritized issues and apply the changes in your editor while you review each diff. Score, fix, re-score — the apply loop closes when you see the lift.
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO optimizes pages to rank in search results; AEO optimizes them to be quoted as the answer by AI engines. They are complementary — most AI-cited pages also rank — but AEO adds extractable answer blocks, schema, and question coverage that rankings alone do not require. See AEO vs SEO.
How often should I re-score a page?
Re-score after every meaningful edit, and monthly for cornerstone pages. Content under about two months old earns measurably more AI citations, so freshness is a scored dimension. AEOCrawler’s monitoring re-scores tracked URLs automatically and shows the trend over time.
