Is your site AI-ready ?

Paste any public URL. We score it 0-100 across SEO, AEO, AIO, and GEO axes — the four signal mixes that decide whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your content.

We fetch the URL once, parse the HTML, return a score. Server-side. No JS execution.

What this audit covers

Four axes. Around 30 checks. Each with a real-world reason.

SEO

Technical SEO basics

The foundation. Title length, meta description, single H1, canonical, viewport, HTTPS, hreflang for multilingual, image alt-text coverage, sitemap declared in robots.txt. If these fail, Google won't index you cleanly — never mind the AI engines.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

What gets surfaced as a featured snippet, voice answer, or People-Also-Ask result. FAQ schema, HowTo schema, numbered lists for procedural content, comparison tables, and a 40-80 word concise-answer paragraph at the top of every page.

AIO

AI bot citation readiness

Whether ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can read and cite you cleanly. llms.txt presence, GPTBot / ClaudeBot / PerplexityBot / Google-Extended allowed in robots.txt, semantic HTML5 elements (article, section, time, address), and Schema.org JSON-LD coverage.

GEO

Google AI Overviews readiness

What helps your content get pulled into Google's AI Overview boxes. E-E-A-T signals (named author + bio), freshness signals (Last updated / dateModified), external citation density (linking to sources), Open Graph tags, and Organization schema for entity recognition.

Note: Google says AI Overview inclusion has no extra technical requirements beyond standard Search eligibility. We score signals that correlate with citation, but we never promise inclusion.

FAQ

Common questions

What is AI-readiness for a website?

AI-readiness is how well your site can be cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It depends on whether AI bots can crawl you (robots.txt), whether your content is structured (schema.org, semantic HTML), whether you have a clean content map (llms.txt), and whether you signal expertise (author bios, dated content, citations). Classic SEO doesn't cover this; AI engines use a different signal mix.

How is this different from a regular SEO audit?

A regular SEO audit checks if Google can rank you. This audit checks if AI engines can cite you. We score four separate axes: SEO (technical basics), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization — featured snippets, voice search), AIO (AI bot citation readiness — llms.txt, semantic HTML), and GEO (Google AI Overviews eligibility — E-E-A-T, freshness, citations).

Do I need to install anything?

No. Paste a public URL, get a score in about 10 seconds. The audit fetches your page server-side from a Cloudflare Worker — same vantage point an AI bot would have. No JavaScript runs (deliberately, since most AI bots don't run JS either).

What does Aetos check exactly?

Across four axes, 28 individual checks for the free URL audit (out of 67 named checks the full plugin runs): title and meta tags, canonical, single H1, HTTPS, viewport, hreflang, image alt coverage, FAQ schema, HowTo schema, numbered lists, comparison tables, concise answer paragraphs, llms.txt presence, GPTBot / ClaudeBot / PerplexityBot / Google-Extended permissions, semantic HTML5 elements, JSON-LD coverage, author byline, dateModified, external citation density, OG tags, Organization schema. See the full list on /capabilities.

My site scored low. What now?

Start with the worst-scoring axis. Most sites lose the most points on AIO (no llms.txt, no AI bot rules in robots.txt) and GEO (no author bios, no freshness signals). Both are quick wins. For a deeper, in-WordPress audit that catches plugin conflicts, database health issues, and runtime telemetry the public URL audit can't reach, install the Aetos plugin.

Is this really free?

Yes. No signup, no card, no API key. We rate-limit per-IP at the Worker level so the tool doesn't become a denial-of-service vector, but normal usage is unrestricted. We don't store your URL or any audit results beyond a 1-hour shared cache so we don't re-fetch popular sites repeatedly.
