How AEO Grader Works

Our AI-powered analysis engine evaluates your brand across four dimensions in under 60 seconds. Here is the process step by step.

Free estimate vs. the full report: the free scan models how AI engines likely see you using Google Gemini with live Search grounding — instant and well-informed. The $10 multi-engine report goes further and actually queries ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini directly, then shows the real share-of-voice, citations, and verbatim answers from each engine.
1

Search Grounding & Entity Extraction

The free check runs Google Gemini with live Google Search grounding over your site and brand mentions across the indexed web. It extracts the entities, facts, and relationships answer engines associate with your brand, and that mapping forms the foundation of your AEO score. (The full report adds a real crawl of your site.)

2

Per-Engine Estimate

From that same Gemini check, we estimate how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are likely to describe your brand, with a tip for each. These are labelled as estimates: the free check does not query those engines. The full report does, and shows each engine's verbatim answer and cited sources.

3

Technical AEO Audit

The free check estimates, from search data, how machine-readable your site is (the full report crawls it): JSON-LD structured data coverage, semantic HTML hierarchy, schema completeness, and data layers that facilitate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Each gap comes with a ready-to-use code snippet.

4

Scoring & Action Plan

We generate a composite AEO score weighted across four pillars: Authority (30%), Clarity (25%), Technical (25%), and Sentiment (20%). You receive a prioritized action plan with specific questions to target, content ideas, and technical fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AEO Grader analyze my brand?

The free check uses one Google Gemini call with real-time Google Search grounding to read what the web says about your brand and estimate how AI answer engines are likely to describe it. The paid report goes further: it asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity a panel of buyer questions and shows their real answers.

Is the analysis based on real data?

Yes. We use Google Search grounding to pull live data about your brand, including reviews, social mentions, news coverage, and competitor comparisons.
