Know exactly how AI search engines see your content.
Google ranks pages by links and keywords. ChatGPT rewards direct answers. Perplexity rewards citations. Each AI engine scores differently. See where yours stands.
The Shift
Same site. Completely different visibility.
Your content can rank #1 on Google and never appear in a ChatGPT answer. Here is why.
- Title tag keyword match
- Meta description click-worthiness
- Backlink authority and quantity
- Keyword density in body text
- PageRank score
- Anchor text diversity
These still matter for Google. But they are no longer sufficient.
- Structured data (schema) completeness
- Answer-first paragraph structure
- E-E-A-T: author expertise signals (expertise, experience, authority, trust)
- AI crawler access (robots.txt)
- llm.txt permissions file (AI crawler permissions)
- Direct answer presence above fold
These are the signals most sites have never checked. AEO & GEO Suite shows all of them in 10 seconds.
Good news: optimizing for AI does not hurt your Google rankings. Both strategies work together.
AI search is not the future. It is today.
of Google searches now show AI Overviews
90%+ of Google searches now show AI Overviews. Organic CTR below those positions is down 18 to 40%.
BrightEdge, 2025queries processed by ChatGPT each month
ChatGPT users rarely click through to source pages. If you are not cited in the answer, you may not exist.
OpenAI, 2025of marketers have no AEO strategy in place
37% of marketers have zero AEO strategy. Early movers are locking in AI citations while competitors wait.
SEMrush State of Search, 2025Platform deep-dive
Each platform values different things.
One score is not enough. AEO & GEO Suite gives you a separate breakdown for each AI engine.
Optimize for AI Overviews first (highest traffic). Then ChatGPT. Then Perplexity.
Google AI Overviews
“What matters most: structured data completeness.”
Google AI Overviews synthesize answers from multiple pages. They heavily favor pages with complete schema markup, E-E-A-T signals, and content that directly answers questions.
- FAQPage and HowTo schema
- Author entity markup
- Core Web Vitals pass
- HTTPS with valid SSL
- E-E-A-T: author name and credentials
Start here: add FAQPage schema to any page that answers common questions. Pages in AI Overviews typically have 3 or more relevant schema types. The most common missing signal is author schema.

AI crawler audit
Find out which AI bots can read your site.
60% of sites accidentally block at least one major AI crawler. AEO & GEO Suite checks all 9 in 2 seconds.
Sample audit result. Your actual results depend on your robots.txt configuration.
GPTBotChatGPT's web search bot. Blocking this makes your content invisible to ChatGPT.
PerplexityBotPerplexity's indexing bot. Blocks here prevent citations in Perplexity answers.
GooglebotRequired for Google AI Overviews and all Google products.
Bingbot-AIMicrosoft Copilot's crawler. Blocking removes your content from Copilot answers.
ClaudeBotAnthropic's crawler for Claude.ai web access.
anthropic-aiAnthropic API training and retrieval crawler.
Applebot-ExtendedRequired for Apple Intelligence and Siri web access.
BytespiderTikTok and ByteDance AI products.
cohere-aiCohere AI training and retrieval.
Fix a blocked crawler in 2 minutes. Just add one line to your robots.txt:

Common mistakes
What most sites get wrong.
Four mistakes account for most AEO failures. All four are fixable in an afternoon.
01High impact5 minBlocking AI crawlers in robots.txt
60% of audited sites block at least one major AI crawler. This is the number one reason for invisible content.
Run the crawler audit. Review which blocks are intentional. Add specific Allow rules for crawlers you want to permit.
02High impactvariesUsing only keyword-dense copy instead of direct answers
Answer-first writing improves both Google rankings and AI citation. You are not changing strategy. You are extending it.
Put the direct answer in the first 2 sentences. Then expand. Answer-first structure does not hurt Google rankings.
03Medium impact30 minMissing E-E-A-T author schema
Most important for health, finance, legal, and news content. E-commerce and product pages: focus on Product and Review schema instead.
Add Person schema to author pages with name, jobTitle, and social profile links. Reference from Article schema on content pages.
04High impact15 minMissing FAQPage schema
FAQPage is the highest-impact schema type for AI Overviews and ChatGPT. It directly feeds Q&A extraction.
Add FAQPage schema to any page that answers common questions. Google and ChatGPT both use it to surface direct answers.
