Inside your free audit

A complete AI search readiness report for your WordPress site

Every audit separates observable access and page-quality findings from a time-stamped, optional one-model brand snapshot and from query-based visibility that was not checked.

AI crawler policy and response checks

For each named crawler identifier, we report the robots.txt policy and the result of a bounded homepage request using that User-Agent from our audit host.

What to act on next, ranked by impact

3 to fix

A prioritised punch list, not a scoreboard. Each item links to the AEO God Mode feature that fixes it in your WordPress dashboard.

  1. Schema looks incomplete

    JSON-LD is how AI engines pin down what your content is about. Limited or missing schema is one of the biggest reasons AI sources skip a site for citations.

  2. Author authority signals missing

    Without named authors and verifiable profile links, AI engines treat your content as anonymous. Verifiable expertise is what gets quoted.

  3. AI crawler policy needs review

    Your robots.txt does not define a clear AI crawler policy. Tightening it gives you per-engine control over who can crawl, train and cite.

What the free AEO audit for WordPress checks

Most AEO checklist tools score one homepage. Ours checks the homepage plus a bounded sample of up to eight public pages, so the report can expose consistency problems without pretending to crawl the entire site.

  • AI crawler access checks. Alongside robots.txt rules, the audit sends bounded homepage requests with major crawler User-Agent strings from our audit server. This can reveal response-level blocking, but it is not a claim about every crawler's production infrastructure.
  • Schema across the sampled pages. We validate structured data on the pages the audit actually fetched, rather than extrapolating a homepage result to the entire site.
  • Author authority signals (E-E-A-T). AI engines weigh sources they can verify. We grade your site against the named-author and credibility signals AI engines look for before quoting a source.
  • Content freshness. Perplexity and Gemini in particular discount stale content for time-sensitive queries. We grade your freshness signals so AI engines treat your site as current, not archived.
  • One-model brand snapshot. When available, one OpenAI web-search model returns a time-stamped description and sentiment snapshot. It is evidence from one model, not a consensus across AI search products.
  • Internal linking depth. Whether your authoritative WordPress pages get the link structure AI engines use to weight them. Orphaned content gets flagged.

Why every WordPress site needs an AEO audit in 2026

Roughly 60% of Google searches now end without a click. The answer is in the AI Overview. ChatGPT and Perplexity send their citation traffic only to the sources they pick. If your competitor is the source ChatGPT names when someone asks about your category, your WordPress site does not get a second chance to make that impression.

AEO mechanics are different from traditional SEO. AI engines do not rank ten options and let users pick. They synthesise an answer from a small handful of sources, name those sources by hostname, and include one or two clickable URLs. The bar to be in that small handful is technical (crawlable, structured, fresh, authored) and topical (depth, breadth, original framing). This audit grades the technical side directly. The topical side is your editorial decision; we tell you whether the technical foundation on your WordPress site is in your way.

What you get from the AI search audit report

  • A full snapshot of which AI signals are passing, missing or in need of review on your WordPress domain.
  • A clear picture of your robots.txt policy plus bounded response checks made with major AI crawler User-Agent strings.
  • A time-stamped, one-model brand snapshot, including associated themes and the public sources returned with that run.
  • A per-issue action list ranked by impact, with the free or Pro AEO God Mode feature that addresses each one.
  • A breakdown across multiple pages, not just your homepage, so you see where consistency drops off.

How this AEO audit avoids the AEO gimmicks

The AEO marketing space is full of "score" tools that overstate what can be measured from outside a site. This audit reports observable access, rendered content, metadata and schema checks separately, labels unknowns, and keeps a one-model brand snapshot distinct from deterministic technical findings.

Free AEO audit for WordPress: FAQ

What is a free AEO audit for WordPress?
A free AEO (answer engine optimisation) audit checks observable access, rendered answer structure, metadata, schema and author signals on a bounded sample of public pages. It identifies technical and content findings, but does not claim to measure whether every answer engine will cite the site. About 30 seconds, no install required.
What does the free AI search audit check?
The audit checks schema, robots.txt policy, bounded crawler User-Agent fetches, answer-first content, Answer Density, metadata, named authors, freshness and internal links across up to eight public pages. When available, it adds a clearly labelled one-model brand snapshot. You get observed findings and optional next steps separately.
Is the AEO audit really free?
Yes. One free audit per visitor per 24 hours. No signup, no credit card, no email required. You read the report on the spot, share the URL, or use it to brief a developer.
Does the AEO audit work on non-WordPress sites?
The signals we check apply to any platform, so the audit still runs and produces a report on Webflow, Shopify, Framer, Wix, Ghost or custom builds. The remediation plugin (AEO God Mode) is WordPress-only, so if you run on a different platform you will need to apply the fixes in your stack of choice.
How is an AEO audit different from a traditional SEO audit?
Traditional SEO audits focus on blue-link discovery, rankings and site performance. This audit focuses on public access, machine-readable structure and answer-shaped content. Actual mentions and citations are query-dependent, so they require a separate visibility test rather than being inferred from a technical readiness score.
Why does my WordPress site need an AEO audit?
Answer engines often respond inline and cite only a small set of sources. This audit shows whether public pages expose several measurable prerequisites cleanly and labels what it cannot determine. Use a query-based visibility tracker to learn whether a particular engine actually mentions or cites the domain.
Which AI search engines does the audit cover?
The access section evaluates published robots.txt rules and bounded homepage requests for a defined list of major crawler User-Agent strings. Those requests come from our audit server, not each company’s production crawler infrastructure. The optional brand snapshot comes from one OpenAI web-search model and is labelled accordingly.
Will the audit modify my WordPress website?
No. The audit sends read-only requests to public URLs from our audit server; it does not write to or install anything on the audited site. Its crawler User-Agent replays are diagnostics, not impersonation of those companies’ production networks. To fix a finding, install the free AEO God Mode WordPress plugin or apply the guidance manually.
How do I improve my AEO score for AI search engines?
In rough order of impact: comprehensive Schema (Organization, Person, FAQPage, Article, Product where relevant), confirm AI crawlers are not blocked, add named authors with verifiable profile links, refresh stale evergreen content, and structure content with clear headings so AI engines can extract scannable answers. The audit gives you a per-issue action list ranked by impact. The free AEO God Mode WordPress plugin handles schema, llms.txt and AI crawler controls automatically. For deeper monitoring, the Citation Tracker Pro feature reports which AI engines are actually citing you over time.
How long does the AEO audit take?
About 30 seconds for the full report. After that the result is cached for 24 hours so reloading the page is instant.
