Answer Engine Optimization Tool
Paste a real answer section, score six transparent AEO content signals, inspect the extracted lead answer, and leave with a prioritized revision plan.
Answer-readiness evaluator
Score a draft against six transparent, content-level checks.
67
Answer-readiness score
Useful foundation with a few extraction gaps.
Extracted lead answer
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring content so AI-powered answer systems can understand, extract, and cite a clear response to a user's question.
Direct-answer lead
20/2026 words in the opening answer; 2 target-term matches.
Structure and headings
9/151 markdown headings and 4 list items detected.
Evidence and sourcing
8/202 source, date, data, or attribution markers detected.
Entity clarity
0/150 multi-word named entities detected in 88 words.
Extractability
15/153 of 3 paragraphs are 80 words or shorter.
Answer completeness
15/1588 words with visible structure.
Priority fixes
- Name products, organizations, people, standards, or locations precisely instead of relying on vague pronouns.
- Name the source behind important claims and include a relevant date or measurable evidence.
- Add descriptive question-led headings and a short list for multi-part answers.
This deterministic score evaluates only the pasted text. It does not query answer engines, verify citations, inspect crawl access, or guarantee inclusion in an AI-generated answer.
Make content easier to extract and trust
Answer engine optimization improves how clearly a page defines an entity, answers a question, structures supporting detail, and grounds important claims. These signals help answer systems understand a passage, but no on-page checklist can guarantee a mention or citation.
The evaluator focuses on the pasted draft: direct-answer clarity, headings, lists, entities, evidence markers, paragraph structure, and completeness. Crawl access, schema validity, off-page authority, and live answer visibility require separate checks.
Direct answer
Lead with a self-contained response that matches the target question.
Extractable structure
Use descriptive headings, concise passages, lists, and tables where they clarify the answer.
Named evidence
Attribute meaningful claims to sources, dates, standards, or measurable data.
Honest measurement
Keep content readiness separate from live mentions, citations, traffic, and conversions.
How it works
Turn one draft into an
AEO action plan
The score is transparent: each result maps to a visible property of the text you supplied.
Set the target question
Name the exact question the section should answer and choose its page type.
Evaluate the draft
Check answer length, query alignment, headings, lists, evidence markers, entities, and paragraph size.
Fix the weakest signals
Start with the three lowest-scoring dimensions, then validate crawl, schema, and live visibility separately.
What the evaluator checks in your draft
Each dimension has a visible point allocation and an actionable improvement path.
Direct-answer lead
Checks whether the opening sentence is concise and overlaps the meaningful target-question terms.
Structure and headings
Counts markdown-style headings and list items that make multi-part answers scannable.
Evidence and sourcing
Finds source language, dates, percentages, research, reports, and other attribution markers.
Entity clarity
Looks for explicit multi-word named entities and enough surrounding context to identify them.
Extractability
Rewards concise paragraphs and structured lists that can stand alone outside the page.
Answer completeness
Balances useful depth with structure so a draft covers the answer, evidence, limits, and next step.
