Question 1

What is an AEO score?

Accepted Answer

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. The score is how easy your page is for an AI answer engine like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini to read, quote, and confidently recommend. A high score means an engine can describe what you do and who it is for without guessing.

Question 2

How does the checker work?

Accepted Answer

You paste a URL. We fetch that page, read the text the way a retrieval system would, and score it on four things: whether an engine can say what this is (answerability), whether there are concrete facts it can quote (evidence), whether it can tell you apart from competitors (differentiation), and whether the copy is shaped so passages lift out cleanly (structure).

Question 3

Is the checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is free to run and needs no account. It gives you a score, the four pillars, the answer an AI assistant could give about you today, and the first fixes to make. The full AEO Refiner, which tracks the score over time, audits every field, and drafts your FAQs and competitor comparisons, is on CiteLaunch behind a free sign-up.

Question 4

How do I improve my score?

Accepted Answer

Add concrete facts an engine can quote instead of adjectives: a plain price, a real number, who it is for, and how you differ from named alternatives. Then give your product a permanent, structured page. CiteLaunch does exactly that, with a real dofollow backlink built to be cited.
