AEO checker FAQ
What is an AEO checker?
An AEO checker audits whether a web page is ready for answer engines such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI search tools. It checks structured data, direct answer formatting, entity clarity, AI crawler access and content signals that make a page easier to extract and cite.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking pages in search results. AEO focuses on making content easy for answer engines to understand, summarize and cite. A strong AEO page usually still needs technical SEO, but it also needs clear entities, structured data, concise answers and Q&A patterns.
What does VisRank check for AEO?
VisRank checks AEO signals such as JSON-LD structured data, FAQPage schema, Organization schema, BreadcrumbList, HowTo schema, semantic headings, contact details, entity clarity, Q&A content, llms.txt, AI crawler access, content depth, freshness and citability patterns.
Can an AEO checker guarantee Google AI Overview placement?
No. Google and AI search engines decide which sources to cite algorithmically. An AEO checker cannot guarantee inclusion, but it can find technical and content gaps that make citation less likely or impossible.
