AEO tools FAQ

About the catalog, the philosophy, and what's queued next.

Are all these tools really free?
Yes — every tool marked Live runs entirely in your browser. No signup, no rate limit, no upsell to a paid tier. Anything that needs server compute (citation tracking, AI engine queries) lives in the FixAEO scan, which has a free tier and paid plans for higher volumes.
What's the difference between AEO and SEO tools?
SEO tools optimize for what shows up in the 10 blue links on Google. AEO tools optimize for what shows up *inside* AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok). They overlap on the technical fundamentals (schema, sitemaps, canonicals) but diverge on signals AI assistants weight more heavily — llms.txt, sameAs entity citations, content shape (clear H1 questions with paragraph answers).
Which tool should I start with?
Three-step starter sequence: (1) Run the free AEO Audit on your homepage to see where you stand today. (2) Generate a Schema Generator output for your most important page type (product, article, or organization) and ship it. (3) Generate an llms.txt for your site and host it at the root. After that, work through the audit findings.
When will the 'Coming soon' tools ship?
We're shipping one tool per build cycle. Live status reflects what's in production today; the Coming soon cards reflect what's queued. Subscribe to the FixAEO newsletter (link in the footer) to hear when each lands.
Can I request a tool?
Yes — email hello@fixaeo.com with what you want and why. We prioritize tools that come up in scan results often (so users have a clear next action) and ones that don't already exist as a polished free tool elsewhere on the web.
Why no AI-powered tools yet?
Two reasons. First, AI-powered tools cost money to run, which forces a signup gate — and we wanted everything Live here to be truly no-signup. Second, the AI-powered tools (Answer Checker, Citation Source Radar, Visibility Checker) need a real backend with rate limits and queueing, which is a larger build. They're queued — see the Coming soon cards.
What are the best generative engine optimization (GEO) tools?
The GEO and answer engine optimization tool space splits into two camps. Purpose-built AEO platforms (FixAEO, Profound, Peec, Otterly, AthenaHQ) track how AI engines describe and cite your brand. Content and SEO suites (Surfer, Frase, Semrush, Ahrefs) have recently added AI-visibility features on top of their existing products. FixAEO is the free, purpose-built option, covering eight engines. The free on-page tools on this page (schema generator, llms.txt generator, robots.txt tools) cover the fundamentals that every GEO tool relies on.
Are there free AEO and AI search tools?
Yes. Every tool on this page marked Live is free and runs in your browser with no signup, including the schema generator, the llms.txt generator, the robots.txt tools, and the AEO audit. Because AEO builds on the same technical fundamentals, several of these double as free SEO tools — schema, sitemaps, and canonicals help in both Google results and AI search tools. On the tracking side, FixAEO's brand scan has a permanent free tier (the Gemini surface) plus paid plans for the full eight-engine sweep. You can do a meaningful chunk of answer engine optimization without spending anything.
What is an AEO platform?
An AEO (answer engine optimization) platform tracks how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity answer questions in your category, whether they mention or cite your brand, and how that changes over time. It is the AI-search equivalent of a rank tracker, except instead of measuring position on a Google results page, it measures presence inside generated answers. FixAEO is a free AEO platform covering eight engines, and the tools on this page cover the on-page fundamentals that feed it.
