AEO Analyzer
Score any page's readiness to be cited by AI answer engines across 10 dimensions
Grade a Page Across 10 AEO Dimensions
Run any URL or HTML source through a 10-dimension scan covering schema coverage, heading hierarchy, entity density, Q&A patterns, citation-worthiness, plus five more. You get an overall score, a radar chart, and per-dimension findings with specific fixes.
How to Use
- Enter a URL or paste the full HTML source of any page.
- Click ANALYZE TARGET to run the 10-dimension scan.
- Review your score, radar chart, and per-dimension findings.
- Export as JSON or download a branded report card.
What We Score
- Schema Coverage (15%)
- Heading Hierarchy (10%)
- Entity Density (12%)
- Q&A Patterns (12%)
- Citation-Worthiness (12%)
- Speakable Readiness (8%)
- Content Structure (10%)
- Meta & Technical SEO (8%)
- Link Quality (5%)
- Readability (8%)
Pro Tips
- Start with headings. A clean H1→H2→H3 tree fixes 3 dimensions at once (Headings, Structure, Readability).
- Ship schema early. Article + FAQPage + Organization is 70% of the Schema dimension.
- Answer in the opening. One direct definitional sentence under every H2 lifts Q&A Patterns and Citation-Worthiness.
- Link out to primary sources. Citations to .gov, .edu, and named studies move Link Quality the most.
AEO Checklist
- Overall score ≥ 75 (AI Answer-Ready tier).
- No dimension scoring below 50.
- Schema Coverage + Q&A Patterns + Heading Hierarchy all ≥ 70.
- Readability grade 6-8, not 12+.
- Every dimension finding either passes or has a scheduled fix.
URL scans draw on a shared pool of about 20 page fetches per day per IP, shared with the AI Readiness X-Ray (which also reads robots.txt, so it spends the pool faster). Each AEO scan uses one fetch, so that is about 20 scans per day. Developers: use the Paste HTML tab for unlimited analysis. View source on any page, paste it here, then scan as many times as you want.
Paste the complete HTML source, not rendered text. Use View Source (Ctrl+U) in your browser. Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to analyze.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AEO Analyzer actually measure?
The tool runs any page through 10 weighted dimensions: Schema Coverage, Heading Hierarchy, Entity Density, Q&A Patterns, Citation-Worthiness, Speakable Readiness, Content Structure, Meta & Technical SEO, Link Quality, and Readability. Each dimension returns a sub-score plus specific findings. Together they combine into an overall 0 to 100 readiness score and a radar chart.
What's a good AEO score?
75 or higher puts a page in the AI Answer-Ready tier. Its structure and signals match the patterns AI retrieval systems prefer. 60 to 74 needs targeted optimization; below 60 has critical deficiencies. Pages under 40 should be rewritten, not patched.
Is this the same algorithm Google AI Overview or ChatGPT uses?
No. No AI system publishes its citation algorithm. The 10 dimensions are DSF's synthesis of public research, search-engine guidance, and measured outcomes across hundreds of audits. It's a proxy, not a ground-truth predictor, but an accurate enough proxy to know what to fix first.
Can I scan competitor pages with the AEO Analyzer?
Yes, that's one of the primary use cases. Scan their page, scan yours, compare radar charts. The dimensions where they outscore you are your fastest optimization levers.
Why is there a URL scan limit?
The hosted URL scanner fetches each page server-side and draws on a shared pool of about 20 page fetches per day per IP, shared with the other live-fetch tools. Each AEO scan uses one fetch (about 20 scans per day); the AI Readiness X-Ray reads robots.txt too, so it spends the pool faster (about 10 scans). Developers running bulk audits should use the Paste HTML tab, which has no limits and works offline with any HTML source you can copy.
