Built to be cited, not just crawled
Answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini do not just rank pages — they lift answers out of them. The AEO Agent checks whether your page is structured so an AI can confidently quote and cite it: clear question-and-answer structure, FAQ or HowTo schema, extractable lists, a concise lead answer, and author or date signals for trust. Give it a URL and it scores all of that live.
What the AEO Agent checks
- Answer schema — FAQPage, QAPage or HowTo structured data.
- Question-style headings — headings phrased the way people actually ask.
- Extractable lists — the format answer engines love to lift.
- Concise lead answer — a direct answer near the top of the page.
- Author or date — freshness and trust signals AI weighs.
Pair it with the SEO Agent for technical AI-readiness and the Content Agent for content quality, or run everything at once in the Command Center. Learn more about Answer Engine Optimization.
The rest of the agent set
Each agent answers one question, and they are meant to be run in order rather than picked at random: fix what blocks crawling, then what weakens the writing, then whether the page is quotable.
- SEO Agent — technical and on-page fixes for one URL
- Content Agent — readability and content quality
- AEO Agent — whether the page is built to be cited by AI answers, not just crawled (you are here)
- Command Center — runs the set together in a single pass
