AEO grader FAQ

What is an AEO grader?

It's a scoring tool that tells you how well your site is set up to be cited by AI assistants. We audit crawler access, on-page signals, and run live probes against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.

How does answer engine optimization work?

Allow AI crawlers, publish clear factual answers near the top of each page, add schema, and measure which prompts you show up in. Iterate on the gaps. That's the whole loop.

Is AEO different from SEO?

AEO sits on top of SEO. SEO wins blue links on Google. AEO wins citations inside AI-generated answers — which is where a growing share of clicks (and non-clicks) happen.

What are the best AEO tools?

The ones that combine crawler access checks, on-page audits, and live AI probes in one report. SeenandCited does all three on the free tier.
