AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring your website's content so that AI-powered answer engines — like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude — can accurately discover, understand, and cite your brand in their responses. It extends traditional SEO by optimizing for conversational queries and direct-answer formats rather than keyword-based ranking.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of making your content authoritative, citable, and entity-rich so that AI systems include it in their generated summaries and answers. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in a list of links, GEO focuses on being directly referenced within AI-generated content when users ask relevant questions.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO optimizes your website to rank in traditional search engine results pages using keywords and backlinks. GEO optimizes your content to be cited within AI-generated answers by emphasizing original research, clear entity definitions, EEAT signals, and structured data that AI systems can confidently quote and reference.

What is AI Readiness?

AI Readiness is a measure of how well your website is structured, written, and optimized to be discovered, understood, and cited by modern AI search systems. An AI-ready website has strong technical foundations, valid structured data, clear entity definitions, authoritative content with EEAT signals, and proper permissions for AI crawlers in its robots.txt.

How does Auditly work?

Auditly securely fetches your website and runs 25+ rule-based checks across Technical SEO, AEO, GEO, E-E-A-T, Schema Markup, Entity Recognition, and AI Readiness. The findings are then analyzed by our intelligence engine to produce a scored report with specific, actionable recommendations for each category.

Does Auditly crawl my website?

Auditly analyzes the specific URL you submit — including your page HTML, robots.txt, and any structured data present. We do not crawl your entire website. Scraped HTML is processed in memory for analysis and is never stored long-term. We respect your robots.txt directives and only analyze content you explicitly submit.

Can ChatGPT find my website?

ChatGPT and other AI systems discover websites through web crawling, training data, and real-time search integrations. They preferentially cite content that has clear structured data, strong EEAT signals, proper schema markup, and content structured in a way that AI can parse and quote. Auditly tells you exactly where your site stands and what to fix to improve your AI discoverability.

Why is Schema markup important?

Schema markup (JSON-LD) communicates directly with AI systems, helping them understand what your page is about, who authored it, how the content is structured, and how to extract specific facts. Pages with proper FAQPage, Article, and Organization schema are significantly more likely to appear in AI-generated answers, featured snippets, and knowledge panels.

How often should I audit my website?

We recommend auditing whenever you make significant changes to your website — launching new pages, updating your content strategy, or redesigning your site. At minimum, run a quarterly audit. AI search is changing faster than traditional SEO, making regular audits a competitive necessity rather than an optional best practice.

Which AI search engines does Auditly optimize for?

Auditly evaluates your website's readiness for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Claude (Anthropic), Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and other emerging AI search platforms. Our scoring framework generalizes across all major AI answer engines, since the underlying signals — structured data, EEAT, entity clarity, clear answers — are consistent across all of them.

llms.txt is an emerging open standard (similar to robots.txt) that lets website owners provide AI language models with a structured, plain-text summary of their site's purpose, content, and key resources. Including an llms.txt file helps AI systems understand and represent your website more accurately. Auditly checks for its presence as part of the AI Readiness assessment.
