Your AEO score
Your AEO score, and the exact fixes behind it
A tracker reports how often AI mentioned you last month. Your AEO score shows what to change: we read your live pages the way an AI crawler does, then rank the fixes so you know what to do first.

The AEO checklist
What your AEO score measures: the checklist we run
Every check falls into one of five questions, from “can a crawler even reach you” to “does AI trust who you are.” We weight each one by how much it actually affects whether you get cited.
Access
Whether AI crawlers can physically fetch your pages at all.
robots.txt allowlist · live crawler probe · response speed
Readability
Whether AI can read your content without running JavaScript.
no-JavaScript rendering · redirects · canonical · page weight
Structure
The schema and structured signals engines use to understand a page.
Organization / FAQ / pricing schema · sitemap · llms.txt
Answerability
Whether your content is written the way AI engines like to quote.
answer-first copy · statistics & citations · chunkable headings
Trust & Entity
Whether AI can confirm and trust your identity across the web.
LinkedIn / Crunchbase · web indexation · title & meta

FAQ
AEO readiness checker: common questions
- What is an AEO checker?
- An AEO checker tests whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Claude can find, read, and cite your website. Stratezik’s free AEO checker scans your live URL in about 20 seconds and returns an AEO score out of 100 across five categories: whether AI can reach you, read you, understand your structure, quote your content, and trust who you are.
- How is my AEO score calculated?
- Your AEO score is a weighted score out of 100 across five categories: Access (can AI crawlers reach your pages), Readability (can they read you without running JavaScript), Structure (schema and machine-readable signals), Answerability (is your content written to be quoted), and Trust (can AI confirm who you are). Each category is weighted by how much it actually affects whether you get cited, so the score points you at what to fix first.
- What is a good AEO score?
- On our /100 scale, most sites we scan land in the 40s to 60s. Anything under 40 usually means AI cannot properly reach or read the site, which has to be fixed before anything else matters. 75 and above means AI can find you, read you, and has real reason to cite you. The score also comes with a plain-English verdict so you know where you stand at a glance.
- Is the Stratezik AEO checker free?
- Yes. Enter your URL and get your AEO score and five-category breakdown in about 20 seconds, with no signup. Add your email to unlock the full checklist with evidence, a fix list ranked by impact, and a competitor comparison, on screen and in your inbox. A paid AI-visibility report ($10 per page) and full-site audit ($49) are optional.
- How is an AEO checker different from an AI visibility tracker?
- A tracker reports how often AI mentioned your brand last month, which is a symptom you cannot act on directly. An AEO checker tests the cause: whether your site is technically and structurally ready to be cited at all. Stratezik reads your live pages the way an AI crawler does and hands you specific fixes, not a percentage.
- What does the AEO checker actually check?
- It runs a live probe of the major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot), then scores robots.txt access, JavaScript-free rendering, response speed, Organization and FAQ schema, answer-first copy, statistics and citations, headings, sitemap, llms.txt, web indexation, and entity signals like LinkedIn and Crunchbase. Every check rolls into your AEO score and a prioritized fix list.
- What is ChatGPT Search readiness?
- ChatGPT Search and Copilot need two things: OAI-SearchBot must be able to reach your homepage, and your pages must be indexed for search. The checker probes OAI-SearchBot access and runs an indexation check, then points you to Bing Webmaster Tools for the Bing-specific confirmation ChatGPT Search depends on.
- Who built this AEO checker?
- Stratezik, a digital marketing agency specializing in SEO, AEO, paid media, and growth strategy for startups and small businesses. We build and use this AEO checker on our own client work, and keep the checks current with how AI search actually decides what to cite.
