Check Your AEO Score: Learn How AI Engines See Your Site

September 20, 2026

Uncover exactly how your content performs when AI-driven search screens your site.

What Is Your AEO Score?

AI answer engine optimization (AEO) is the process of making your site more visible and trustworthy for generative AI and smart search engines. As answer engines frame how information is sourced, your website needs to be readable, structured, and credible for AI systems—not just for Google’s classic search.

Why Does AEO Matter?

AI-powered answer engines now guide user journeys, providing direct answers and summaries in place of classic web search results.
Sites not optimized for answer engines risk being omitted from citations, summaries, and featured results.
Online competition increases as generative search engines surface only a handful of source links for each topic.

How DoodleWeb Checks Your Site’s AEO Score

Our AEO review uses manual, expert evaluation—not automated scoring. You get human insight into where your site stands, backed by a comprehensive checklist:

Can AI engines parse and summarize your main services or expertise areas?
Are your structured data and schema up to spec?
How readable, accessible, and technically robust is your content?
What real-world trust and citation signals do you show?

Your custom AEO Score report lists overall visibility (for major answer engines and more), technical findings, blockers, and prioritized fixes linked to your CMS or development stack.
