Yes. The AEO Engine audit scores five dimensions per page: AI crawl access, schema coverage, semantic structure, entity clarity and citation-worthiness. Each dimension maps to a specific reason an answer engine would skip the page, and the output ranks fixes by impact rather than listing everything as equally urgent.

Generic SEO crawlers cover crawlability and on-page basics, but they do not score entity resolution or whether a page contains a citable passage. An AEO-specific audit has to check AI bot access rules, schema-to-visible-text agreement, and the presence of original evidence. This tool isolates those signals.

It scores representative pages across the domain and reports patterns. That distinction matters: a missing FAQ block on one page is a page fix, while the same gap on every template is a deployment fix. The report separates the two so you do not rebuild 400 URLs by hand.

Run the audit on the same URL set you baselined previously, so the delta is comparable. Look first at crawl access and canonical changes, because a core update often coincides with rendering or indexing shifts; then at entity and citation signals. Re-check within two to four weeks of shipping fixes.

Yes, this audit is free to run. You submit a domain and verify a business email before the full report is generated. The scores, radar and prioritised punch list are included; managed remediation is a separate paid service.

Two layers. First, page readiness, which is what this tool scores. Second, actual presence, which requires running real buyer prompts through each engine and recording whether your brand appears, in what position, and which sources are cited instead. Presence without readiness is luck; readiness without presence tracking is guesswork.
