# AEO Grader
> AI Answer Engine Optimization analysis — a free instant estimate, plus a $10 report that queries the real engines.

## About
AEO Grader (aeograder.org) analyzes how AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity — perceive and describe any brand. It has two tiers:
- A FREE instant estimate: an overall AEO score with breakdowns across the Authority, Clarity, Technical, and Sentiment pillars plus a prioritized action plan, generated using Gemini with Google Search grounding. No signup.
- A $10 FULL MULTI-ENGINE REPORT: AEO Grader actually queries ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini across a panel of real buyer questions, then aggregates real share-of-voice vs competitors, the real sources each engine cites, per-engine sentiment, and the verbatim answer each engine gave. Delivered as a private link emailed to the buyer.
