What does the AEO Grader check?

The AEO Grader analyzes how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity perceive your brand. It measures brand recognition, market competition, sentiment, and source quality across multiple AI models.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of making your brand visible and well-represented in AI-powered answer engines. Unlike SEO which targets traditional search, AEO ensures AI assistants can understand, cite, and recommend your brand.

How is the AEO score calculated?

Your AEO score is an aggregate of brand recognition, market position, sentiment analysis, and source quality across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Each AI platform receives its own score, and the final score is the average.

Is the AEO Grader free?

Yes, the basic scan with overall scores and brand recognition is completely free. For the full report including sentiment analysis, source analysis, and detailed action plan, enter your email to unlock.

How can I improve my AEO score?

Focus on building authoritative content, getting cited by industry publications, maintaining consistent brand mentions across the web, and creating structured data (schema markup) that AI models can parse.
