Quick answer
An AEO score rates how easily answer engines like Google AI Overviews and voice assistants can extract a direct answer from your page. A GEO score rates how likely generative AI like ChatGPT and Perplexity is to trust and cite you. This free checker measures 22 factors and returns both scores from one scan.
Why you need both scores
Being extractable and being trusted are different things. Most pages are strong at one and weak at the other.
Can AI lift your answer?
Answer-first opening, question headings, FAQ, quotable 40 to 60 word passages, lists and tables, FAQ schema, readability and snippet eligibility.
Will AI trust and cite you?
Organization entity, sameAs profiles, author, freshness, cited sources, factual depth, AI crawler access, llms.txt and how clearly AI can identify you.

AEO & GEO checker FAQ
What is the difference between an AEO score and a GEO score?
An AEO score measures how easily answer engines can extract a direct answer from your page: answer-first openings, question headings, FAQs and snippet-length passages. A GEO score measures how likely generative AI is to trust and cite you as a source: entity schema, author, freshness, cited sources, factual density and AI crawler access. One page can score high on one and low on the other.
How do I check my AEO and GEO score?
Paste a page URL into the scanner above and press Scan. In about 20 to 40 seconds you get both scores, a gap insight, how AI reads your page, a quick-wins matrix and a fix simulator.
Is the AEO and GEO checker free?
Yes. Unlimited fair-use scans with no signup, no email and no credit card.
What is a good AEO score or GEO score?
85 and above is excellent, 70 to 84 good, 50 to 69 fair and below 50 weak. Aim to raise the lower of the two first; the gap insight tells you which.
What is the fix simulator?
A tool in every report that lets you tick the fixes you plan to make and see your projected AEO and GEO scores update instantly, so you can plan the work with the biggest payoff.
Which factors affect both scores?
Several: AI search bot access, valid structured data, snippet eligibility and quotable passages count toward both, with different weights. Each factor in the report shows its AEO and GEO weight.
Does the checker show my ranking in ChatGPT?
No tool can see a private ranking inside ChatGPT or Gemini. The checker measures the page signals those systems rely on, and an AI reads your page to show how it describes you.
How is this different from an SEO audit?
An SEO audit focuses on ranking in a list of links. AEO and GEO focus on being the answer and being cited inside AI-generated responses, so they weigh answers, entities and trust signals more heavily.
