sitesCan answer boxes and voice assistants quote you?
AEO (answer engine optimization) is writing your page so a short, correct answer can be lifted straight from it: when you open, what it costs, where you are. Enter your address and see how yours does.
Free AEO checker
Enter your website. We read it the way a search engine does and score it out of 5.
What it checks
- An opening sentence that says plainly what you are and who you are for
- Three or more real customer questions marked up as an FAQ
- Those same questions and answers shown as text on the page
- Headings written as the questions people type, or an expandable FAQ list
- Your opening hours and at least one price written as plain text
What it cannot tell you
It cannot tell you whether Google or a voice assistant actually shows your answer. No tool can promise that. It checks that your page gives them clean answers to take.
What we do about it
- Every website we build at Sites is made with these checks in mind, written from the same details as the page.
- Already have a site? The checker shows what it lacks. If you want it fixed, write to us.
Questions
What is AEO?
AEO is answer engine optimization: writing your page so search answer boxes and voice assistants can quote a short, correct answer from it.
Is the checker free?
Yes. Enter your website address and it reads the page and lists what is missing. We do not store the address or the page.
What counts as a real question?
One a customer has actually asked you, like Do you take walk-ins? or How much is a root canal? Write the real answer, short and specific. We never make up questions or answers for you.
Can you guarantee an answer box or a voice answer?
No. What we can do is make sure your hours, prices and answers are written clearly, in a form these tools can read, and keep them correct.
How is AEO different from GEO?
AEO is about the short answers in search results and from voice assistants. GEO is about being named in the longer answers AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity write. The page work overlaps a lot.
