A complete AEO and GEO audit, free

💬Questions
Is there a free AEO audit tool?
Yes, this one. AEO Armory is a free AEO and GEO audit tool: create an account with your email (no card, no password) and run up to 3 full audits a day. Each one tests 8 real customer questions on ChatGPT and Google AI Mode, checks your site's AI citation readiness, and gives you a prioritized fix list.
What is AEO?
Answer engine optimization: making your business the one AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode name when people ask for what you sell. It's SEO for answers, not just rankings.
What's the difference between AEO and GEO?
They're two names for the same goal. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) both mean getting recommended and cited in AI-generated answers. An AEO audit and a GEO audit check the same things, so AEO Armory covers both.
What does an AEO audit check?
Two things. First, visibility: whether AI assistants name you for the questions your customers ask, where you appear, who they name instead, and which sites they cite. Second, AI citation readiness: whether AI crawlers can reach your site, whether your pages use schema and answer questions directly, and whether you show the trust signals AI looks for. AEO Armory runs 9 readiness checks across up to 15 pages.
How does AEO Armory check my visibility?
We ask ChatGPT and Google AI Mode the questions your customers ask ("best roof repair in Austin", "how much does…"), read the real answers people see, and record whether you're named, where, who's named instead and which pages the AI cites.
Is it really free?
Yes. Create an account with your email (no card, no password) and run up to 3 reports a day. Every report and fix list stays in your dashboard. Need more than that? Talk to our team.
Why do I need an account?
So your reports, fix progress and prompt plans are saved in one place you can come back to. We email you a one-time sign-in code instead of making you remember a password.
Is an AEO audit the same as an SEO audit?
No. An SEO audit looks at your Google rankings, the local map pack and technical SEO. An AEO audit looks at whether AI assistants recommend and cite you. They overlap (crawlability, schema, good content), but AEO Armory focuses on AI visibility. For a traditional SEO or local audit, talk to our team; we use a different tool for it.
Does it work for B2B websites?
Yes. Enter what you sell and leave the location blank for a national or B2B business. The questions are written for your buyers, so a software company or a B2B service firm gets questions like "best payroll software for small businesses", not local searches.
What's the prompt plan?
Your report lists 15 to 30 questions your customers ask AI that you should be the answer to, with what to create for each (a new article, a page update or an FAQ answer) and how much work it is.
Do you change anything on my website?
No. AEO Armory only reads your public pages, like a search engine does. You make the changes.
How is this different from a free AEO checker or analyzer?
Some free AEO checkers only scan your page for things like schema and headings. AEO Armory does that too, then asks ChatGPT and Google AI Mode real questions to see whether you're actually recommended, and turns both into a fix list with ready-to-paste text and a fix checker.
Why do AI answers differ each time?
AI tools vary their answers run to run. That's why we test many questions and look at the pattern instead of trusting one answer.
