Scan my website for GEO and AEO: the practical audit
A practical GEO and AEO scan checks whether AI answer engines can discover, understand, cite, and recommend your website.
If you are searching "scan my website GEO AEO," you probably want one answer: will AI answer engines understand and recommend my site?
That question is more specific than normal SEO. GEO and AEO are about how your content performs when the user asks an AI system for an answer, recommendation, comparison, checklist, or explanation.
GEO vs AEO in plain English
GEO means generative engine optimization. It focuses on visibility inside generative search results and AI answers.
AEO means answer engine optimization. It focuses on becoming the source that answers a question directly.
In practice, both require the same foundation:
- the page can be crawled
- the page can be parsed
- the entity is clear
- the answer is direct
- the source looks trustworthy
- the content is easy to quote
What to scan first
Run through this checklist.
Discoverability
Check:
/robots.txt
/sitemap.xml
/llms.txt
Your site should not block retrieval bots by accident. Your sitemap should include the pages you want discovered. Your llms.txt should point models to the most useful pages.
Extractability
Open the raw HTML and ask a blunt question: can the page be understood without running the full app?
Good signs:
- product or service explained in text
- headings describe the sections
- links use descriptive labels
- page content is not hidden behind tabs that never render in HTML
- important facts are not only images
Entity clarity
AI systems need to know what the page is about and who published it.
Add:
- organization schema
- same-as links
- clear company name
- author or publisher
- date for articles
- contact or legal page
- product or service schema where relevant
This reduces confusion with similarly named companies.
Answer quality
For every page, write down the query it should answer. If you cannot name the query, the page is probably too vague.
Examples:
- "Can ChatGPT see my website?"
- "How do I optimize my website for AI search?"
- "What is the difference between AEO and GEO?"
- "What should an AI SEO audit check?"
Then make sure the page answers that query in the first few paragraphs.
Citation readiness
A citation-ready paragraph is specific, self-contained, and not dependent on marketing context.
