AI Engine Optimization audit

See how AI engines read your site, and what to fix first

Buyers now research inside one AI answer. If your pages do not match the sub-queries that answer generates, you are not ranked low. You are absent. Get a free AEO scorecard and see exactly where you stand.

Why is the buyer journey compressing into one answer?

The comparison research a buyer used to do across ten tabs now happens inside one AI conversation. The engine reads a handful of sources, names a few, and moves on. Traditional SEO optimizes for rankings. AEO optimizes for how AI agents discover, parse, and recommend your content to buyers.

What is AI Engine Optimization?

AI Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring your website so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews can discover, understand, and cite it. Where SEO competes for a ranked link, AEO competes to be the source the AI names inside its one synthesized answer, judged from both a human and an agent's view.

Read the full definition on what is AEO, or the scoring method on the CLEAR framework page.

How does the CLEAR framework score a page?

Every page is measured from two perspectives at once: how a human buyer experiences it, and how an AI agent parses it. The gap between the two scores is your work list.

C

Credibility & Clarity

Human: Can buyers trust you and quickly grasp what you offer?

AI: Title tags, schema markup, heading hierarchy, consistent terminology.

L

Leverage & Logic

Human: What is the business impact, and does the solution fit?

AI: Extractable metrics, structured specs, Product schema.

E

Evidence & Emotion

Human: Is there proof behind the claims, and does it connect?

AI: Review schema, labeled evidence, text-searchable docs.

A

Alignment & Accessibility

Human: Does it fit the buyer's goals, and is help easy to find?

AI: FAQ schema, knowledge-base links, structured SLAs.

R

Responsiveness & Relevance

Human: Is engagement prompt, and is the content on point?

AI: ContactPoint schema, industry-segmented content.

What makes Audaeo different?

Three things you will not find in an SEO suite or an AI writing tool: dual-perspective scoring, a named gap list from query fan-out, and recommendations grounded in your CRM.

Gaps you can name

Query fan-out turns "be more visible" into a finite list

An AI engine rarely searches your exact words. It splits the question into five to eight sub-queries, retrieves a source for each, and synthesizes one reply. Audaeo maps the sub-queries you cover and the ones you miss, so the fix list is named, not vague.

Example: Beacon Fleet, a fictional mid-market SaaS. It covers four of eight sub-queries.

The buyer question “What's the best fleet management software for a mid-market logistics team?” decomposes into 8 sub-queries. Covered: Which fleet software integrates with HubSpot and our CRM?; Best fleet software for a 50–500 vehicle fleet?; Can it do real-time GPS route tracking?; What do other mid-market logistics teams say?. Missed: How much does fleet management software cost?; Does it handle ELD and DOT compliance?; How fast is implementation and onboarding?; How is it different from an enterprise TMS?.

Common questions

What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?

AEO is the practice of optimizing your website so AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini can discover, understand, and cite your content when answering buyer questions. It goes beyond traditional SEO by considering how AI agents parse and recommend your content.

What is the CLEAR framework?

CLEAR is a buyer-side and AI-agent-side evaluation framework with five dimensions: Credibility & Clarity, Leverage & Logic, Evidence & Emotion, Alignment & Accessibility, and Responsiveness & Relevance. Each dimension is scored from both a human buyer perspective and an AI agent perspective.

How does the AEO audit work?

Enter your email to get started. The audit discovers your website pages, analyzes each one with AI across all five CLEAR dimensions, then synthesizes a site-wide scorecard with prioritized recommendations. A ten-page audit takes about three to five minutes.

Do I need a HubSpot account?

No. The free audit works with any website. Just enter your email and domain. Connecting HubSpot is optional and unlocks automatic CMS page discovery and CRM data sync.

How much does it cost?

The sample audit of ten pages is free. A full-site audit covering up to 500 pages is $149 and includes keyword analysis, query fan-out, content briefs, competitor benchmarking, and MCP integration. The GTM & AEO tier at $599 adds CRM-enriched recommendations from your HubSpot data.

What is query fan-out and why does it matter?

Query fan-out is how AI search engines decompose a buyer's question into five to eight sub-queries. If your site has no content matching those sub-queries, you are invisible in the AI's answer, even when you are the best option. The audit simulates this and shows where you are visible versus absent.

How is the AEO score calculated?

Each page is scored across five CLEAR dimensions from two perspectives, human (0-100) and AI agent (0-100). The dimension score is the average of both, the page score is the equal-weighted average of the five dimensions, and the site score is the average across analyzed pages. Grades: A is 85 and up, B is 70-84, C is 55-69, D is 40-54, F is below 40.

How is this different from HubSpot's AEO tool?

The two are complementary. HubSpot's AEO tool is the scoreboard: it monitors whether AI engines cite your brand, tracking a Brand Visibility Score, competitor mentions, and sentiment. Audaeo is the playbook: it tells you why AI is not recommending you and what to build, scoring every page through CLEAR, simulating query fan-out to find gaps, and connecting those gaps to your CRM data. Track with HubSpot, act with Audaeo.
