AEO Checker
Review whether your website gives answer engines clear, extractable answers instead of forcing them to infer everything from long pages.
An AEO checker looks for answer-friendly content structure, including direct answers, concise summaries, FAQs, clear headings, and supporting context.
TruboRank AI helps identify whether pages are prepared for answer extraction by combining content structure checks with AI discoverability signals.

How to use this checker
Start with a live scan of your website URL. Review the status of each signal, then fix the highest-impact blockers first. Technical blockers should usually be handled before content optimization because AI systems need access before they can evaluate page quality.
- Run the free scan on your homepage or a high-value page.
- Review crawl access, sitemap discovery, headers, and AI-readable resources.
- Open each warning and confirm whether it affects important public content.
- Fix server-level issues such as robots.txt, Link headers, and content types.
- Improve page-level content with direct answers, summaries, FAQs, and internal links.
- Re-run the scan after changes to verify the result.
What a strong result looks like
A strong result means important pages are crawlable, key resources are discoverable, and the content gives AI systems enough structure to understand the topic quickly.
- robots.txt allows the crawlers you want to support.
- sitemap.xml exposes important URLs.
- headers or HTML links point to useful AI-readable resources.
- content includes concise answers and supporting context.
Who should use it
This checker is useful for founders, marketers, SEO teams, developers, agencies, and technical content teams that want to improve AI search readiness without guessing.
It is especially useful before launching new landing pages, documentation, product pages, comparison pages, or AI visibility campaigns.
Implementation checklist
- Confirm the page returns a successful HTTP status.
- Confirm the page is not blocked by robots.txt.
- Make sure the page appears in your sitemap or is internally linked.
