What is included in an AEO audit?

Answer

A credible AEO audit covers technical AEO readiness (robots.txt, llms.txt, schema, SSR, TTFB), content AEO readiness (FAQPage, question-format headings, definition-format ledes, citation-ready statistics), entity readiness (Organization schema, sameAs links, Wikipedia/Wikidata presence) and citation surface analysis (current share of voice across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). The deliverable is a prioritized fix list with effort estimates.
