Scan failed
Slow down a moment
The scan is free but rate-limited per network so it stays fast for everyone. Wait about a minute, then scan again.
We couldn't scan this domain
This is almost always the target site blocking automated requests (Cloudflare, a WAF, or a 403) - not a problem with the scan. Sites you own or that don't run aggressive bot protection scan fine; try one of those.
The scan didn't complete
Something went wrong on our side or the connection dropped. Nothing was measured, so no report was generated - please try again in a moment.
What the audit checks
Six signals that decide whether AI cites you.
Every check runs against your live site in code. Nothing is fabricated: each result is a measured fact about how answer engines see your domain right now.
AI crawler access
Reads robots.txt for 16 AI crawler user agents (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more) and flags any that are blocked from reaching your content.
Structured data
Parses your JSON-LD and checks for the Organization, Product, and Offer entity graph answer engines use to place your brand in their knowledge graph.
llms.txt
Checks whether you publish an llms.txt file, the emerging convention for telling AI models which content is important and how to use it.
Entity salience
Computes how strongly your page resolves to its target brand entity, so you can see whether engines read the page as being about you or about your category.
On-page metadata
Verifies indexability, canonical tags, H1 structure, title and meta description health, and Open Graph tags: the basics that still gate both search and AI retrieval.
Answer extractability
Scores whether your content is structured into the shallow, semantic blocks extractive summarizers need to lift a self-contained answer and cite you for it.
How it works
From domain to ranked fixes in three steps.
Enter your domain
Type any hostname (yours or a competitor's). No account, no card, nothing to install.
We run a live scan
A real, server-side pass fetches your homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap, then runs every check above. No AI queries are spent, so it stays free.

FAQ
Questions about the AEO audit
What is an AEO audit?
An AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) audit checks how well AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can find, read, and cite your website. It looks at AI crawler access, structured data, llms.txt, entity salience, on-page metadata, and answer extractability, then scores how ready your site is to be mentioned in AI answers.
Is the AEO audit tool free?
Yes. The scan is a live technical audit run entirely in code, with no AI queries and no paid APIs, so it costs nothing to run and needs no signup or credit card. You get an AEO readiness score and a ranked issue list for any domain.
How is this different from a traditional SEO audit?
A traditional SEO audit checks how Google crawls and ranks your pages. An AEO audit adds the AI answer layer: whether 16 AI crawlers can access your content, whether your structured data resolves to a clean brand entity, whether you publish llms.txt, and whether your content is extractable into cited answers. Both matter, and AEO Goal runs them together.
Does the audit change or store anything on my site?
No. The scan only reads publicly available pages (your homepage, robots.txt, llms.txt, and sitemap). It makes no changes to your site and does not need any access or credentials.
What do I do with the results?
Each issue in your report links to a free fix tool. For continuous coverage, connecting your domain to AEO Goal runs a full-site crawl, tracks real AI citations and share of model across every major engine, and re-checks whether your fixes moved the needle.
