Why AEO Toolkit

Everything you need to win AI search.

One workflow to make your site crawlable, trustworthy, and quotable — the three things answer engines reward when they choose what to cite.

Audit for AI search

A single score for how crawlable, structured, and citable your site is across answer engines — with the fixes that move it.

Score your E-E-A-T

Quantify the trust signals LLMs reward. Find missing authorship, citations, and credibility markers page by page.

Generate llms.txt

Ship the crawl-hint file answer engines look for. Auto-built from your sitemap so bots map your best content first.

Track AI visibility

Ground decisions in your own GA4 + Search Console data and map the backlinks that build topical authority.

How it works

From audit to citations.

Three steps from “invisible to AI” to “quoted in the answer.”

  1. 1

    Connect & audit

    Point the toolkit at your URL. It crawls your pages and scores technical SEO, AEO, and E-E-A-T in one pass.

  2. 2

    Get prioritized fixes

    Receive a ranked fix list with ready-to-use templates — llms.txt, schema, and the content changes that matter most.

  3. 3

    Track your citations

    Ship the fixes, then watch your GA4, Search Console, and backlink signals climb as AI engines start citing you.

AEO vs SEO

Ranking is not enough anymore.

Search is shifting from ten blue links to a single synthesized answer. AEO optimizes for being the source that answer cites.

FAQ

Questions about answer engines.

The essentials on AEO, llms.txt, and E-E-A-T — the concepts the toolkit puts to work.

  • Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring your site so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — can find, trust, and cite your content. Unlike classic SEO, which optimizes for blue-link rankings, AEO optimizes for being quoted directly inside AI-generated answers.

  • SEO aims to rank a page in search results; AEO aims to get your content cited inside an AI answer. AEO leans more on machine-readable structure (JSON-LD, llms.txt), demonstrable E-E-A-T, and short, extractable answers that a model can lift verbatim. Strong SEO still helps, but it is not sufficient on its own.

  • llms.txt is an emerging convention that gives AI crawlers a curated map of your most important pages, much like a sitemap tailored for LLMs. It helps answer engines discover and prioritize your best content. The AEO Toolkit generates a structured llms.txt (and optional llms-full.txt) from your sitemap automatically.

  • E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust. There is no single official number, but higher is better across all four pillars. The E-E-A-T Scanner scores each pillar page by page and shows the exact signals — author bylines, citations, credentials, and trust markers — that each page is missing.

  • Yes. You can run a technical SEO and AEO audit, scan E-E-A-T, generate llms.txt, and explore the backlink graph for free. The GA4 + Search Console chat is bring-your-own-key (BYOK), so it runs on your own LLM credentials and connects to Google with read-only access.
