Free GEO/AEO Optimization
Use a free scan to find the first technical and content gaps that affect Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization.
Free GEO/AEO optimization starts by checking whether AI crawlers can access your site and whether key pages include direct answers, summaries, FAQs, and internal links that support AI search understanding.
TruboRank AI gives website owners a free starting point for GEO and AEO work by scanning discoverability signals such as robots.txt, sitemap access, Link headers, Markdown readiness, and AI bot access before deeper content optimization.
Quick Questions
Yes. Start with a free technical scan, then fix crawl blockers and add answer-focused sections to important pages.
Fix access and discovery issues first, then improve Quick Answers, AI Summaries, FAQs, and internal links.
No. It improves readiness and removes blockers, but AI platforms control citation and ranking behavior.
Check your website's AI discoverability signals.
Run a free scan for robots.txt, sitemap discovery, Link headers, Markdown readiness, and AI bot access.
What this checker analyzes
- AI crawler access and robots.txt rules
- sitemap discovery for important URLs
- Link headers and machine-readable resource hints
- answer-ready sections for AEO
- intent and internal-link signals for GEO
Why it matters
Free optimization is useful because many AI visibility problems begin with basic blockers. If crawlers cannot access a page or the answer is buried, advanced GEO and AEO work has a weaker foundation.
Common issues
- AI bots blocked unintentionally
- Important pages missing from the sitemap
- No direct answer near the top of the page
- No FAQ or AI Summary section
- Weak links between related SEO, AEO, and GEO pages
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.
- Add direct answer content for the primary user question.
- Add related links to nearby AEO, GEO, llms.txt, or AI crawler topics.
- Document technical changes so they can be repeated across the site.
