AEO Check: can AI use your website as an answer?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is about content that search and AI systems can easily understand and use to answer concrete questions. Our approach ties that readiness to actual AI Visibility.
What does an AEO check examine?
An AEO check looks at whether important information is understandable on its own: clear questions and answers, distinct entities, reliable facts, logical page structure and technical accessibility.
- • Direct answer blocks
- • FAQs where they are genuinely useful
- • Clear products, services and target groups
- • Evidence and specifications
- • Crawlability, internal links and structured data
AEO, GEO and AI Visibility
AEO helps make information answer-ready. GEO focuses more broadly on visibility in generative systems. AI Visibility is the actual outcome: is your business found, named and selected on relevant questions?
Why measure rather than only optimise?
Without a baseline you do not know whether a technical improvement also leads to better visibility. That is why we combine readiness signals with scenario measurements.
Frequently asked questions
What does AEO mean?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization: optimising content and structure so that answer engines can understand and use information correctly.
Is AEO the same as GEO?
They overlap, but are not identical. AEO focuses on answer suitability; GEO more broadly on selection and visibility in generative AI.
Do I need FAQ schema?
Only when the page actually contains frequently asked questions. Structured data must match visible content.
Can I check my AEO readiness for free?
Yes. Start with our free AI Visibility Check for a first indication.
