What does AEO Readiness Grader measure?

AEO Readiness Grader scores a site 0–100 for citability in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews across 25 criteria in 5 categories: crawl accessibility, structured data, content structure, authority, and AEO signals.

Which AI engines are covered by the score?

Grader checks the signals that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews use when retrieving and citing sources: schema markup, answer-first structure, domain authority, crawl accessibility, and the presence of explicit definitional sentences with numbers.

How is AEO different from classical SEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes content for LLM citation and AI-search retrieval, not for Google keyword ranking. The priorities shift to explicit answers under H1, FAQ blocks, JSON-LD markup, and authoritative numbers an LLM can confidently quote in a user-facing answer.
