The score rates readiness against common AEO/GEO practice. It is not a formula published by any AI provider and does not guarantee citations. Only public web pages can be checked; localhost and internal IPs are refused.
What goes into the AEO score?
The overall score is a weighted average of 6 categories, and each category averages only the checks that apply to that page. A check that does not apply, such as article dates on a contact page, is skipped rather than scored as zero. The number above each category is its share of the 100 points.
Structured Data
JSON-LD that tells machines what the page is, who publishes it, when it was last updated, and whether it matches what readers see.
Crawlability & Delivery
robots.txt does not block citation bots, content is readable without JavaScript, plus canonical, sitemap and a fast response.
AEO / Answer-Ready
The opening answers directly, headings are real questions, content is chunked well, and there are numbers, lists or tables worth quoting.
On-Page SEO
Title, meta description, h1–h3 outline, image alt text, internal links, lang and Open Graph share cards.
E-E-A-T & Trust
A verifiable author, a visible last-updated date and details of the organization behind the site.

Questions about checking AEO
What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) means making your website easy for answer engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to quote in their answers and cite with a link back to you. SEO aims to rank in the list of search results; AEO aims to be picked as the answer. They share the same foundations, but AEO puts more weight on direct answers, schema markup and letting AI bots in.
What does this checker test and how is the score calculated?
It opens the page you enter the way an AI crawler does, without running JavaScript, and also reads the domain's robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. It runs 29 checks in 6 weighted categories and combines them into a 0–100 score. Checks that do not apply to the page, such as article dates on a home page, are left out instead of counted as zero.
What score counts as ready?
90 and above is excellent, 75–89 good, 50–74 fair, and below 50 means fix the basics before investing in more content. Start with the Crawlability category: if bots cannot get in or see a blank page, nothing else matters. The fix list is already sorted by how many points each fix wins back.
Do I need to sign up, and do you store my site's data?
No sign-up and no email needed. The checker only reads the public page you link, processes it once and sends the result back to your browser. It does not store the result or the URL. If you want the Kooru team to take a look, send the result over LINE.
