Which AI answer engines does AEO Scored target?
AEO Scored evaluates your content against the extraction patterns used by the three leading AI answer engines:
ChatGPT — OpenAI
OpenAI's conversational AI answer engine, used by hundreds of millions of people to get direct, cited answers from the web.
Perplexity — Perplexity AI
Perplexity AI's search-focused answer engine that retrieves, synthesizes, and cites web sources in real time.
Google AI Overviews — Google
Google's generative-AI feature that displays AI-composed answer summaries directly at the top of search results.
A strong AEO score means your content is structured so all three systems can extract and attribute it cleanly.

A practical guide to structuring pages so AI answer engines can extract and cite them: the direct-answer pattern, question-led headings, scannable formatting and schema.
ReadWhat is an AEO score?
An AEO (answer engine optimization) score rates how extractable your content is for AI answer engines — specifically ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity (Perplexity AI), and Google AI Overviews (Google). It measures whether each section leads with a direct answer, uses question-led structure, names specific entities, and carries schema — the signals a model needs to lift and attribute your content.
How do you improve your AEO score?
Lead each section with a standalone direct answer, use descriptive question-led headings, keep paragraphs to one idea, name entities explicitly, and add Article and FAQPage schema in the served HTML. The AEO Scored checker shows which of the 8 dimensions are weakest so you fix the highest-impact gaps first.
Frequently asked questions
Is a high AEO score enough to get cited by AI?
No. A high score means your content is easy to extract — that makes you eligible, not guaranteed. Crawl access, domain authority and factual accuracy still decide whether an engine actually quotes you. The score is a readiness signal, not a promise.
Does the score query ChatGPT or Perplexity directly?
No. The score is a deterministic, on-page analysis of structure, entities and schema. It does not query live answer engines, so it measures extractability readiness rather than confirmed citations.
What types of content can AEO Scored analyze?
AEO Scored can analyze any publicly accessible URL or pasted draft text — blog posts, landing pages, documentation, knowledge-base articles, and more.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO (search engine optimization) optimizes for ranking in traditional link-based search results. AEO (answer engine optimization) optimizes for extraction and citation by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Both share foundations like clear structure and authority, but AEO places extra emphasis on direct-answer leads, entity density, and structured data.
