What Is an SEO & AEO Audit?
An SEO audit checks how well your website performs in Google search — metadata, headings, structured data, page speed, and content quality. An AEO audit checks how visible your business is to AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. In 2026, both matter. Over 60% of Google searches now include AI-generated answers, and 200 million people ask ChatGPT for recommendations every week.

What Does the AEO Score Check?
Your AEO score reflects how ready your website is to be cited by AI answer engines. The audit checks for:
- ✓ FAQ Schema — structured Q&A that AI platforms read directly
- ✓ HowTo Schema — step-by-step content AI can cite for process questions
- ✓ Question-format headings — H2/H3 headings starting with What, How, Why, Who
- ✓ Direct answer paragraphs — concise answers (40–300 characters) under each question heading
- ✓ Organization schema — tells AI who your business is and what you do
- ✓ llms.txt file — a plain-text file that tells AI crawlers about your business directly
Why Is My Website Invisible to AI Search?
Most websites were built for human readers and traditional search engines — not for AI to parse and cite. Without structured data, question-based content, and AEO signals, AI engines have no reliable way to extract information about your business. They recommend competitors who have these foundations in place. The good news: most AEO issues can be fixed in hours, not months.
How Do I Fix SEO Issues on My Website?
Nexus Studio, our AI website management platform, reads your audit results and generates specific fixes — updated metadata, schema markup, new content sections, image alt tags. Each fix goes through a preview build before going live. No developer needed, nothing breaks. Fixes take minutes instead of months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does AEO stand for?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It is the practice of optimizing your website so AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini can find, understand, and recommend your business in their generated answers.
Is this SEO audit really free?
Yes. The audit tool is completely free with no account required. Enter any URL and get a full SEO and AEO report instantly. Automated fixes require a Nexus Studio subscription starting at $299/month.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for Google rankings — blue links on a search results page. AEO optimizes for AI recommendations — getting cited when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a business like yours. SEO shows you to 10 searchers. AEO gives you the one answer a user gets from an AI.
Why does word count matter for SEO?
Pages with fewer than 300 words give Google and AI engines very little content to work with. More content means more signals, more keyword coverage, and more opportunity to be cited as authoritative. Aim for at least 600 words on any page you want to rank.
What is structured data and why does it matter?
Structured data is JSON-LD schema markup embedded in your page that tells search engines and AI platforms exactly what your content means. Organization schema identifies your business. FAQ schema makes your Q&As directly citable. Without it, Google and AI have to guess — and they often guess wrong.
