# FixAEO

> FixAEO is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine
> Optimization (GEO) checker. It audits how a brand or website appears
> across AI search engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok,
> DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews — and returns a 0–100 score with
> concrete, ranked fixes.

The tool is designed for marketers, SEO professionals, and product
operators who want their brand recommended by AI assistants in addition
to (or instead of) ranking on Google. FixAEO inspects structured data,
crawlability for AI bots, content patterns that answer engines reward,
and runs live LLM queries across up to 8 frontier engines to measure
whether your brand is recognised by them today. The free scan runs on
Google Gemini (1 per day per IP); the paid Lite tier runs all 8.

## Key concepts

- **AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)**: optimising web content so AI
  assistants surface and recommend you in their generated answers.
- **GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)**: the broader practice of
  optimising for any generative AI search experience — close synonym for AEO.
- **Brand mention rate**: of N AI engines we query about your brand,
  what percentage actually mention you in the response.
- **Sentiment**: a -1.0 to +1.0 score derived from the language the AI
  uses about your brand (positive, neutral, negative).
- **Citation tracking**: which third-party sources AI engines pull from
  when describing your brand.
- **Demand-ranked prompts**: at onboarding, FixAEO ranks the prompts it
  suggests by estimated search demand (Google Ads + AI keyword search
  volume) so you track the highest-intent questions first, not a generic
  list. A search-volume estimate shown as 1–5 demand bars (English-language
  prompts today) — not real AI-conversation data.

## How the scoring works

Each scan runs ten heuristic checks plus live LLM brand-recognition
queries across all 8 supported engines. Heuristic weights (sum to 86):

- Homepage reachable (10)
- `<title>` length 10–70 chars (10)
- Meta description 50–200 chars (10)
- Open Graph core tags (5)
- Twitter Card (3)
- JSON-LD structured data — Organization, FAQ, Article (15)
- Answer-style headings — questions, "how to", "what is" (12)
- robots.txt that doesn't block AI crawlers (8)
- llms.txt presence (8)
- sitemap.xml presence (5)

The final score is `100 × (earned weights / total weights)`. Pass earns
the full weight, warn earns half, fail earns zero.
