Technical AEO audit
Answer engine optimization audit for AI-search readiness
AEOprobe checks whether answer engines can access, understand, and cite your site. Run one audit to catch AI crawler blocks, invalid schema, weak answer structure, missing canonicals, Open Graph gaps, sitemap issues, and technical trust problems.

Direct answer
An answer engine optimization audit should prove whether AI systems can crawl the page, parse its structured data, extract a concise answer, trust the canonical URL, and cite the source. Traditional SEO audits are useful, but they often miss AI-specific crawler and citation-readiness blockers.
What the audit checks
AI crawler access
Verify GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and other AI crawlers against live robots.txt rules.
Schema markup
Validate JSON-LD and schema.org markup that helps answer engines identify entities, articles, FAQs, products, and tools.
Answer extraction
Check whether headings, summaries, and page structure make concise answers easy for AI systems to extract and cite.
Canonical signals
Find metadata, Open Graph, canonical, sitemap, and indexing gaps that create duplicate or ambiguous citation signals.
Technical trust
Review performance, HTTPS, security, and accessibility signals that influence whether a page looks dependable.
Prioritized fixes
Turn the audit into a ranked fix list instead of a generic SEO report with no AEO-specific next step.
When to use this audit
Run an AEO audit before buying AI visibility monitoring, before launching a content sprint, and after any robots.txt, schema, template, or canonical change. Monitoring can tell you whether your brand appears in AI answers; a technical audit tells you whether the site gives answer engines enough access and structure to cite it.
The fastest workflow is to audit the site, fix crawler and schema blockers first, then use comparison or monitoring platforms once the technical foundation is clean.
