Step 2 of 4 · Diagnose
Find out why AI engines are not naming you
A low score is only useful if it points at a cause. AEO Corner separates what your site does from what AI says, then shows the evidence for both.
Start with the free audit
Real answers from four AI engines, your score and your top five fixes. No account needed.
What we look at
We check your site the way an AI crawler meets it, in four areas.
-
AI crawler access
Whether the bots behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and others are allowed in by your robots.txt, your firewall and your CDN.
-
Renderability
Whether your main content is in the HTML a crawler receives, not only after JavaScript runs.
-
Structured data and entity clarity
Valid markup, a clear About page, and a consistent name, address and profile links.
-
Answerability
Question-style headings with a short direct answer underneath, lists, tables, FAQs and visible freshness.
What you get
A score, the gaps behind it, and the evidence for each.
-
An AEO Readiness score out of 100
Scored in six categories with the weights published on the methodology page.
-
Citation gaps
Sites that AI cites in answers where you were not named, so you know where you are missing.
-
Competitor comparison
How you stack up against each competitor you track, question by question.
-
Honest limits
A check we could not run is shown as “couldn’t check” and left out of the score.
FAQ
Questions about diagnose
Do I need to give you access to my site?
No. The scan reads only your public pages. We identify ourselves as AEOCornerBot and follow your robots.txt; once you verify that you own the domain, we may read pages it asks other bots to skip, and only for your own project.
Are the readiness weights proven?
Not yet, and we say so. They are our first version, reasoned rather than tested against outcomes. We will calibrate them against real results and publish what changes.
Does it work on any website?
Any public website. The fixes we can apply directly are for WordPress; for other platforms we give you the exact change to make.
