Heuristic guide, not a guarantee of AI citations. It scores the structural signals that help answer engines extract and trust content; being cited also depends on your topic, authority and off-site signals. Grades your pasted text only — nothing is uploaded.

What "AI-ready" content actually means

  • Answer-first: a direct answer in the first 2–3 sentences is what AI Overviews and snippets lift.
  • Question headings: H2s phrased as real questions map straight to how people (and AIs) ask.
  • Self-contained sentences: AI extracts sentences, not paragraphs — vague pronoun openers can't be lifted.
  • FAQ + stats: a real FAQ and cited numbers measurably raise your odds of being cited.
How it works

How the AEO checker grades your content

Paste your text and the grader scores seven answer-engine signals, then hands you the exact fixes — all in your browser.

01

Paste content

Drop in your article or page text, headings on their own lines. Nothing is uploaded — it runs client-side.

02

Seven AEO checks

Answer-first, question H2s, FAQ, self-contained sentences, stats, structure and scannability.

03

Get your grade

A 0–100 AEO score with a letter grade and a per-signal pass / warn / fail breakdown.

04

Apply the fixes

Each failing signal comes with a specific fix so you know exactly what to change.

Answer engine optimization

What is an AEO checker?

An AEO checker grades how ready your content is to be pulled into AI-generated answers — the summaries ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews now put above the classic blue links. It scores the structural signals that decide whether an answer engine can cleanly extract and trust your content, and tells you what to fix.

This is a narrow, AEO-specific tool: it grades answer-readiness, not general writing quality. If you want a broad content-quality score (readability, depth, tone), use the complementary Content Quality Checker by H&U Solutions — the two work well together.

  • Grades for ChatGPT, Perplexity & AI Overviews
  • Seven structural signals, each with a fix
  • Runs entirely in your browser — content never leaves it
The 7 signals

What the grader scores

1. Answer-first opening — a direct answer in the first 2–3 sentences. 2. Question-phrased H2s — headings that match how people ask. 3. FAQ section — real question-and-answer pairs. 4. Self-contained sentences — facts that stand alone, not "as noted above". 5. Stats & specifics — real numbers and data AI can cite. 6. Structure — lists and tables it can extract. 7. Scannability — short paragraphs and sentences.

Each is weighted by how much it actually moves AI-answer visibility, and the score is the sum. Fix the failing ones and you make your content genuinely easier for an answer engine to lift.


FAQ

AEO checker — FAQ

How AEO grading works and what to do with your score.

An AEO (answer engine optimization) checker grades how ready your content is to be cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. It scores structural signals like answer-first openings, question headings, FAQ sections and self-contained sentences, then gives specific fixes.
Aim for 80 or above. A score of 80–100 means your content has the structure answer engines look for — a direct opening answer, question-style headings, a FAQ, extractable sentences and supporting data. Below 60 means the structure is working against you and specific fixes will help.
No. The grader scores the structural signals that help answer engines extract and trust your content, which raises your odds — but citation also depends on your topic, your site's authority and off-site signals. Think of it as making your content eligible and easy to lift, not a guarantee.
Content quality is about readability, depth and tone — whether a human enjoys reading it. AEO is about structure — whether an answer engine can extract and cite it. Both matter. This tool grades AEO specifically; for a broad quality score, use H&U's Content Quality Checker alongside it.
The biggest are an answer-first opening (a direct answer in the first few sentences) and self-contained factual sentences that can be lifted without surrounding context. Question-phrased headings, a real FAQ section, and cited statistics come next. Structure and scannability round it out.
No — AEO builds on SEO. An answer engine still has to find and trust your page before it can cite it, so you need solid SEO underneath. AEO adds the structural layer that captures the growing share of searches that end in an AI answer instead of a click.
