The 29 signals AI reads
before it cites you

AEOLens crawls your page exactly like an LLM does — rendering JavaScript, parsing schema, and grading the structure that decides whether you're quote-ready. Every check is scored, weighted by impact, and paired with the exact fix.

  • FAQ & schema markup, content depth, and direct-answer structure
  • Heading hierarchy, canonical tags, soft-404 and crawler access
  • Freshness signals, specificity, and quantified-claim density

AI crawler observability · Beta

Watch the bots most
analytics never see

The majority of real AI crawlers never execute JavaScript — so they're invisible to Google Analytics. AEOLens captures them server-side, verifies each one by ASN and reverse-DNS, and shows you what they read and when.

  • Real-time feed of GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google & Meta agents
  • Verified authenticity per family — spot spoofed user-agents instantly
  • Know which pages models actually fetch — and which they ignore
Competitor & fix intelligence

Know who AI recommends
instead of you

For every query you lose, AEOLens names the domains the model cited, diagnoses why they win, and turns it into a ranked, copy-paste fix list — ordered by the score lift each change unlocks.

  • Side-by-side citation rate vs. your top competing domains
  • Per-model diagnosis: why each engine isn't quoting you
  • Quick-win queue sorted by impact, not guesswork

Why teams switch

Built for the people who
own AI visibility

"We were ranking #1 on Google and completely invisible in ChatGPT. AEOLens showed us exactly why in one scan — the fix list paid for itself in a week."

"Running it across 30 client domains replaced a spreadsheet I dreaded. The per-model diagnosis is the part clients actually screenshot in board decks."

Devin Kaur

"The crawler observability is wild — I had no idea GPTBot was hitting our docs 200× a day. Now we optimize the pages models actually read."

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your content so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Claude — can quote, summarize and recommend it. Where SEO chases keyword rankings, AEO targets citation readiness: making your answers easy for models to extract and trust.
How is this different from traditional SEO tools?
SEO tools optimize for Google's ranking algorithm and keyword metrics. AEOLens optimizes the structural signals that decide whether an LLM cites you — schema, direct-answer structure, crawler access and freshness — and simulates real buyer questions across five models to measure it.
Which AI models do you check against?
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI) and Claude (Anthropic), plus crawler observability for Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot/Bing and Meta AI. Each model weights signals differently, and AEOLens scores you per-engine.
How is the AEO score calculated?
It's a 0–100 rating of how structurally ready your page is to be cited. It combines 29 weighted checks across content, technical, schema and structure categories with crawler access — scored by each check's impact on citation probability.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Run your first audit free and get a full score in under 60 seconds — no card, no setup. Paid plans unlock more scans, weekly monitoring, competitor intelligence and developer export.
Can I monitor visibility over time?
Yes. Enable weekly monitoring to auto-rescan, track score trends and citation rate over time, and get alerted the moment your AI visibility drops or a competitor overtakes you.
