Free AEO checker: see what the AI engines say about your business.

This AEO checker asks ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity 10 questions a buyer would ask about a business like yours, then shows you every answer: whether you were named, whether your site was linked, and who was named instead. It is free, it needs a website and an email, and it takes about three minutes.

What the checker reports

• Your scoreboard. Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity name you when buyers ask without your name, link to your site, and name you first, plus how you do when someone is choosing who to use: 10 buyer questions asked live (30 answers).
• Every question, every engine, word for word. All the questions we asked and exactly what each engine wrote, with your name and the businesses AI named instead highlighted.
• Who AI named instead. The businesses the engines named on the questions where you were missing, each one checked in the answers themselves.
• How AI describes you when asked by name. If an engine mixes you up with another business of the same name, or cannot find you, the report shows it with the engine's own words.
• Up to 3 work orders. Real questions from your own scan where you were missing: what the engines said, why, and what gets built.
• Your first 7 days, mapped. What a free trial would do for your business, day by day, with the plans side by side. No card.
• A PDF that's yours for good. Download it and it's permanent, and the link to it opens without an account. The audit asks for your email so a link to the report reaches your inbox too; there is nothing else to fill in and no card at any point.

Two kinds of AEO checker

Search for an AEO checker and you will find two different instruments under the same name. They answer different questions, and knowing which one you are holding saves a lot of confusion.

A page grader reads your website

You give it a URL and it inspects the page: is there structured data, can the AI crawlers reach it, are the headings and answers easy to lift. The result is a grade for the page. It tells you whether your site is ready to be read.

An answer checker asks the engines

You give it a business and it asks the assistants the questions a buyer asks, then reads the replies. The result is a record of what was said. It tells you whether you were actually named.

This checker is the second kind. Our reasoning for building that one first: the grade and the outcome can disagree in both directions. A page can pass every markup check while the engines still name three competitors, and a business with an untidy site can be named everywhere because the rest of the web talks about it. If you only measure the page, you are measuring the part you control and assuming the rest.

The page-side checks, by hand

The page-side checks still matter, because an engine that cannot read your site cannot cite it. They take a few minutes and need no tool. Open yoursite.com/robots.txtand your home page's source, and go down this list.

1. The search crawlers are allowed. These are the ones that decide whether you can appear in an answer:
   • OAI-SearchBot: OpenAI's search crawler — the one that decides whether you can appear in ChatGPT Search.
   • Claude-SearchBot: Anthropic's search crawler — feeds the sources Claude's search results cite.
   • PerplexityBot: Indexes your pages for Perplexity's cited answers.
   • Googlebot: One crawler for classic Google Search and AI Overviews / AI Mode.
   • bingbot: Feeds Copilot directly, and independent testing found about 87% of ChatGPT's citations match Bing's top results (Seer Interactive, 2026).
2. You know what you did with the training crawlers. Blocking these is a legitimate choice and does not remove you from AI answers:
   • GPTBot: OpenAI model training only — blocking it does not affect ChatGPT Search.
   • ClaudeBot: Anthropic model training only — blocking it does not affect Claude's search results.
3. The home page carries structured data. Search the page source for application/ld+json. A business with none has left the engines to guess its name, category, and location from prose.
4. Your common questions are answered in plain text. A short question with a direct answer under it, on the page and visible to a visitor, is the shape an assistant can quote. Markup that describes content a visitor cannot see is cloaking; do not add it.

Pass all four and your site is readable. Whether it is chosen is what the checker above answers.

How to read your result

What one free check cannot tell you

• A trend. One check is one day. The engines answer differently from ask to ask.
• Every question. It asks 10. Your buyers ask more than 10 things.
• Every engine. It covers 3: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Those limits are what the paid product is for: the Solo plan re-asks 100 questions daily for $149 a month, and it is described on the pricing page. Nothing on this page requires it. Run the free check first and see whether there is anything to fix.
