Free AEO checker

Is your site ready for AI search?

The Amabrik AEO checker reads your home page's raw HTML the way AI crawlers do, without running JavaScript, and scores it in seconds. It tells you whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can actually read and cite your pages, and what's blocking them if they can't.

We read your home page only, with no login and nothing to install.

How it works

How to check your AEO score

Checking your AEO score takes under a minute: paste your address, read the two scores, and fix each issue with its copy-paste AI prompt.

  1. Paste your URL

    Type your domain and run the check, with no account and nothing to install. The scanner reads your public home page the way AI crawlers do, from the raw HTML.

  2. Get your AEO score

    You get an AEO score (how well AI search engines can read and cite your content) and an SEO score (how well you rank on Google), with every issue listed by severity.

What it checks

The AEO signals most tools ignore

An AEO audit checks whether AI engines can read a site at all: content in the raw HTML, schema.org markup, heading structure and crawler access. Most AEO graders only ask whether chatbots mention your brand; this checker grades those signals on your own pages, the part you can change yourself.

01

Content AI crawlers can read

AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. If your content loads with JS, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity see an empty shell. The scanner checks whether your main content is in the raw HTML or hidden behind client-side rendering.

02

Schema.org structured data

JSON-LD schema (Article, FAQ, Organization, Product) lets answer engines pull facts from your page cleanly instead of guessing. The checker flags pages with no JSON-LD and recognizes the schema you already have, even when a framework serializes it inside its hydration payload.

03

AI crawler access

If your robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot, those engines can't index you at all. The checker scans your crawler rules and tells you exactly which AI engines you're blocking.

04

llms.txt

An llms.txt is a plain-text map of your key pages that some AI tooling reads. The checker looks for yours and flags a missing one as low priority, because it's an emerging standard, worth adding but not required.

05

Headings and content structure

AI engines extract answers from clear H2/H3 hierarchies. The checker audits whether your heading structure is consistent, whether your H1 is present and unique, and whether your content is scannable.

06

Google SEO fundamentals

Title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, mobile viewport, Open Graph, image alt text, HTTPS and broken internal links. The basics Google still ranks on, checked alongside your AEO signals.

How the score works

How the AEO score is calculated

The Amabrik AEO score starts at 100 and every issue found subtracts points by severity: 25 for a critical issue, 12 for high, 6 for medium and 2 for low. The SEO score is computed the same way from its own checks, so one JavaScript-only page or one blocked crawler can't hide behind a good average elsewhere.

The crawler-access check parses your robots.txt against the exact tokens seven AI engines crawl with: GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot for ChatGPT, ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai for Claude, PerplexityBot for Perplexity, Google-Extended for Google AI, Bingbot for Copilot, meta-externalagent and FacebookBot for Meta AI, and MistralAI-User for Mistral. It reports only the engines you block, so a clean robots.txt keeps that part of the report quiet.

The free check runs the same engine as the full scan, on your home page only, and most of what it finds is site-wide anyway, since one robots.txt and one rendering setup serve every page. Once you have your score, our guides on getting your site cited by ChatGPT and what llms.txt does and doesn't do cover the content side of AEO.

Why AEO matters now

Google ranks you, but AI engines decide whether to cite you

AEO matters because AI answers absorb the click: Pew Research found Google users click a result in only 8% of visits when an AI summary appears, versus 15% without one. If your content only renders with JavaScript or your robots.txt blocks the AI crawlers, those engines skip you and cite a competitor instead. A strong SEO score alone doesn't guarantee AI visibility, which is why the checker gives you both scores.

An AEO checker grades how well your website is optimized for answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. It checks the signals those engines rely on: whether your content is in the raw HTML, whether you have structured data, whether AI crawlers are allowed in, and whether your site has an llms.txt. Paste your URL above and you get an AEO score in seconds.

AEO is how you optimize your site so that AI search engines can read, cite and recommend your pages. Traditional SEO targets Google, while AEO targets ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The two overlap, but AEO adds new requirements: your content must be in the HTML (not loaded with JavaScript), you need schema.org markup, your AI crawlers must be allowed in robots.txt, and an llms.txt is an optional extra.

A standard SEO audit checks what Google needs: titles, meta, canonical tags, mobile, HTTPS. This AEO checker goes further and also checks whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) can access your pages, whether your content renders without JavaScript, and whether you have the structured data AI engines pull from. You get both scores in one scan.

The AEO checker parses your robots.txt against the crawler tokens of seven AI engines: ChatGPT (GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot), Claude (ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai), Perplexity (PerplexityBot), Google AI (Google-Extended), Copilot (Bingbot), Meta AI (meta-externalagent and FacebookBot) and Mistral (MistralAI-User). It flags only the engines your file blocks, because a blocked crawler means that engine can never read or recommend your site.

HubSpot's AI Search Grader asks AI models about your brand and scores sentiment, presence, brand recognition and share of voice. That's brand-level visibility, and you can't edit it directly. This AEO checker grades the technical side instead: whether AI crawlers can read your pages at all, and which schema, headings or crawler permissions are blocking you from being cited. Both are useful, but this one tells you what to fix on your site.

Yes, you get your AEO and SEO scores and the issue counts by severity with no signup. To read every issue in full and get the copy-paste fix for each, plus a check of every page, you unlock the full report for $99 once, with no subscription.

A score above 80 means AI search engines can read and cite most of your content. Below 60 means you're probably invisible to ChatGPT and its peers, even if you rank fine on Google. The gap matters because a growing share of searches now ends inside an AI answer instead of a click, so being readable to those engines decides whether you get cited at all.

The free scan checks your home page, which is enough to surface most issues since they tend to be site-wide (same robots.txt, same rendering, same schema pattern). Inside Amabrik you scan every page, re-scan after each deploy, and track your AEO score over time.
