What does the free AEO audit check?
It reads your homepage and scores four areas: website health, SEO foundation, AI readiness and accessibility — that is the AI-readiness score. It also asks two AI engines one real buyer question about your category and shows who they name; the tracker's AI visibility score extends that to five engines and up to 75 questions every week. The AI-readiness checks are the ones specific to answer engines — whether the page carries FAQ schema, Organization schema and additional rich schema such as Article or Breadcrumb, and whether your site serves an llms.txt file. Those are the signals an engine uses when deciding whether a page is worth quoting, and they are all things you control directly.
Does the free audit scan my whole website?
No — the free audit analyses your homepage only, and that is a real limit worth knowing before you read the score. It is enough to tell you whether the basics are in place, because homepage markup and structure are usually representative of the template the rest of the site uses. Scanning every page, tracking questions across AI engines over time, and watching which pages earn citations are part of the product rather than the free check.
How long does the free AEO audit take?
About a minute. A website's report is kept for 7 days, so anyone who checks the same domain in that window sees the stored report instantly; after that a fresh run happens. To re-check after making changes, and to track your score over time, create a free account — the 14-day trial needs no credit card.
Do I need to create an account to run the audit?
No. Enter your website and the AI-readiness score and the engine headline show on this page straight away. Adding a work email afterwards unlocks the per-engine detail and the brands named instead of you. No credit card and no account setup; signing up afterwards is optional and starts a 14-day trial.
What is a good AI-readiness score?
Treat the number as a starting point rather than a target. The AI-readiness score summarises how many checks passed, but the checks are not equal in weight: missing FAQ schema on a page that answers real questions costs you more than a missing meta description. Read the failed checks rather than the total, fix the ones in the AI-readiness group first, and remember that on-page structure only decides whether an engine *can* quote you — whether it *does* also depends on other sites corroborating what you say.
