Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making your website visible to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. AEO Scanner is a diagnostic tool that measures your site's AI visibility and generates the exact code to fix it.
Three scores. One scan.
Can AI find you? Will AI cite you? Can AI agents interact with your site? We measure all three. Nobody else does.
How well AI search engines can find, read, and cite your content
How likely AI search engines are to cite and mention your brand
How easily AI agents can understand and interact with your site
The numbers are brutal.
If AI can't read your site, AI can't recommend your site.
Scan. Fix. Verify.
AEO Scanner by Convrgent generates 44 or more personalized fixes per scan, each containing actual implementation code populated with the scanned site's real business data rather than generic recommendations. The fix engine produces two output formats: a PDF audit report with priority-ordered issues and copy-paste code, and a SKILL.md file that AI coding agents like Claude Code can execute directly to apply every fix automatically.
Convrgent used AEO Scanner to improve its own site from an AEO score of 61 to 96 in just 45 minutes (scan.convrgent.ai self-audit, March 2026), demonstrating that the same fixes generated for customers produce real measurable results. The tool requires no subscription — all plans are one-time purchases starting at $49 for the full audit report with complete fix code.

AEO Scanner by Convrgent is the first AI search visibility tool to combine three independent scores in a single scan: an AEO Score measuring how well AI search engines can find and extract your content, a GEO Score evaluating how likely AI engines are to cite your brand, and an Agent Readiness Score assessing whether AI agents can discover and transact on your site.
AEO Scanner runs 67+ checks across 12 categories, generates site-specific fix code personalized with your actual business data, and produces an AI Identity Card showing exactly how AI currently perceives your brand. Unlike monitoring dashboards that track whether you appear in AI responses, AEO Scanner diagnoses the root causes and provides the exact code to fix them.
AEO Scanner vs Other GEO Tools
Trusted by developers and AI agents across 3 marketplaces. Used by teams to diagnose and fix AI search visibility issues.
What does AEO Scanner check?
AEO Scanner by Convrgent is an AI search visibility audit tool that measures how well any website performs across three independent dimensions of AI discovery and citation. The AEO Score evaluates structured data including Schema.org JSON-LD markup, meta tags, AI accessibility features such as llms.txt and robots.txt permissions for crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot, and content quality across 32 individual checks weighted by citation impact. The GEO Score assesses citation readiness through 19 checks covering brand narrative clarity, quotable claims with attributed metrics, statistical source attribution, and citable passage blocks — the 115 to 180 word self-contained paragraphs that Princeton and Georgia Tech research by Aggarwal et al., published at KDD 2024, identified as the format large language models most frequently cite when generating answers to user queries (Aggarwal et al., 2024).
The Agent Readiness Score measures how easily AI agents can discover, understand, and transact with a website programmatically without human intervention, which matters because Gartner predicts 25% of traditional search traffic will shift to agentic interfaces by 2026. AEO Scanner evaluates 13 checks across four categories: machine identity signals like llms.txt and .well-known/agent.json, API discoverability through OpenAPI specifications and developer documentation, structured actions using Schema.org action markup, and programmatic access including x402 payment headers for autonomous USDC transactions on Base or Solana networks. AEO Scanner by Convrgent is the only free triple-score audit tool measuring all three dimensions in a single scan, with results generated in under 60 seconds and delivered as a downloadable SKILL.md file that Claude Code and other AI coding agents can execute automatically to apply every generated fix.
According to research from The Digital Bloom analyzing 680 million AI citations, brand search volume correlates 0.334 with citation frequency, statistics boost AI visibility by 22%, and quotations boost visibility by 37% (source: Digital Bloom, 2025). A separate 2025 study by Omnius showed AI search traffic converts at 4.4 times the rate of traditional organic search, while brand web mentions correlate 0.664 with Google AI Overview appearance — the strongest signal measured, stronger than any traditional backlink metric (Omnius, 2025). AEO Scanner by Convrgent was built to measure and fix these specific signals across 67+ checks in 12 categories, so site owners can identify exactly which citation factors are missing and apply the copy-paste fix code generated for each gap.

Frequently asked questions
What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?
AEO is the practice of optimizing websites for AI search engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Overviews, so they can find, understand, and cite your content. Unlike traditional SEO which targets ranked links, AEO ensures your site appears in AI-generated answers. AI search traffic converts at 4.4x the rate of traditional organic search (Omnius, 2025).
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO measures how likely AI search engines are to cite and mention your brand in their responses. While AEO checks if AI can find you, GEO checks if AI will actually pick you as the answer. It evaluates brand narrative clarity, citation readiness, authority signals, and entity definition — the signals that make AI choose your content over competitors. Citing external sources is the single most effective GEO optimization, boosting visibility by 115% for sites outside the top 3 (Princeton KDD, 2024).
What is the Agent Readiness score?
Agent Readiness measures how well AI agents (not just search engines) can understand, interact with, and transact on your site. As AI shifts from answering questions to taking actions — booking, purchasing, integrating — your site needs machine-readable identity, discoverable APIs, structured actions, and programmatic access. Our Agent Readiness framework covers every emerging agent-discovery standard Cloudflare evaluates, plus site-specific fix code (Cloudflare Research, 2026).
What is the AI Identity Card?
The AI Identity Card is a mirror showing how AI currently perceives your brand. It extracts what AI would say about you based on your on-site signals — your brand description, category, confidence level, citable claims, and platform presence. If the card looks weak, that's exactly how AI sees you. It shows you what to fix. Brand web mentions correlate 0.664 with AI Overview appearance — the strongest signal measured (Omnius, 2025).
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for traditional search rankings — getting your link higher on the page. AEO optimizes for AI engines that answer questions directly. With AI Overviews reducing clicks to the #1 result by 58% (Seer Interactive, 2024), being ranked isn't enough anymore — you need to be cited. 44.2% of AI citations come from the first 30% of page content (Growth Memo, 2024).
What does the AEO Scanner check?
67+ checks across 12 categories: structured data, meta tags, AI accessibility, content quality, brand narrative clarity, citation readiness, authority signals, entity definition, machine identity, API discoverability, structured actions, and programmatic access. Our Agent Readiness framework includes the full set of emerging agent-discovery standards Cloudflare evaluates (RFC 9727, SEP-1649, Content-Signal) — and unlike other tools, we generate the fix code (Convrgent scanner, 2026).
