How to read this
- Sections are listed top to bottom in the order they appear on the page. Build each one as described under Layout, using the Copy (exact) word for word.
- Anything marked OWNER TO SUPPLY is a fact the business must provide (a real quote, a price, a phone number). Do not invent it; leave it visibly unfinished until it arrives.
- The Page-level SEO requirements apply to the whole page: one H1, the title and meta description as written, the internal links with their anchor text, and the structured data in the
<head>. - What changes vs the page today lists every section as added, rewritten or kept, and puts today's title, meta description and H1 next to the proposed ones.

1. Header (header) — id b1
Kept as-is — Header nav and CTA carried over unchanged from the brand.

Copy (exact)
- Free AEO scorer
- Free AEO Scorer — Test Your Content for AI Search Engines
- Enter a URL and get an instant readiness score for citation by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Structural signals are measured directly; whether an AI chooses to cite the page is a separate judgment layered on top.
- Score your page's AEO readiness free
- Run a full-site audit
- Structural signals measured directly. Citability is an AI judgment on top of that.
- Page URL
Why
- Puts the actual scoring input above the fold with the plan's H1 and a repeated primary CTA, so the product is unmistakable before the long educational content, and the H1 carries the primary keyword. (Rule 3, Rule 4, content improvement 1)
3. Text section (rich-text) — id b3
New section — New section unpacking score range and methodology, which the page only hinted at with one line before.
Layout
- Layout:
heading, then 2 paragraphs of body text at reading width (max ~70 characters per line).
Headings
<h2>How the score works
Copy (exact)
- How the score works
- The AEO scorer checks a single page against the structural and semantic signals AI search engines use when deciding what to extract and cite: crawlability, heading hierarchy, whether each section answers its own question in the first sentences, use of lists and tables over dense paragraphs, and the presence of author, date and sourcing information. These structural signals are measured directly from the page's HTML and text. Whether an AI engine actually chooses to cite the page for a given query is a separate judgment the AI makes at query time, based on competing pages, freshness and relevance — the score tells you how ready the page is, not a guarantee of citation.
- Scores are reported on a 0-100 scale with a breakdown by signal group, so you can see which specific fix — a missing heading, a buried answer, an unsupported claim — is holding the score down.
Why
- Unpacks the score range and what is measured directly versus judged by the AI, so buyers can compare this tool against competitors like HubSpot's AEO Grader, addressing a named content gap. (content improvement 7)
4. Benefits (benefits, variant "icons-4") — id b4
New section — New card layout naming the four signal groups the scorer checks, making the product mechanics explicit rather than implied inside the 'how AI decides' prose.
Layout
- Layout: heading + intro paragraph, then 4 items as compact cards, title + one line, 4 per row (2 on mobile).
Headings
<h2>What the scorer checks<h3>Indexability and crawlability<h3>Structure and hierarchy<h3>Direct answers<h3>Trust and sourcing
Copy (exact)
- What the scorer checks
- Four groups of signals, each measured directly from the page.
- Indexability and crawlability
- Confirms the page returns a 200 status, is not blocked by robots.txt to AI crawlers, and is parse-able as plain text.
- Structure and hierarchy
- Checks heading tags (h1, h2, h3), lists, tables and whether the content is broken into scannable sections rather than one long paragraph.
- Direct answers
- Looks for a clear answer in the first 40-60 words of each section, rather than the answer buried in narrative text.
- Trust and sourcing
- Checks for author information, publication or last-updated dates, and links to sources that support any data or claims on the page.
Why
- Breaks the dense 'how AI decides' content into four scannable outcome cards instead of one long paragraph block, serving both readers and AI parsers. (content improvement 6)
5. Text section (rich-text) — id b5
Rewritten — Rebuilds 'How AEO Differs From Traditional SEO' content as a direct answer to the AI-search prompt 'How to check if content is optimized for AI search?' and adds the AEO guide link.
Layout
- Layout:
heading, then 2 paragraphs of body text at reading width (max ~70 characters per line).
Headings
<h2>How to check if content is optimized for AI search?
Copy (exact)
- How to check if content is optimized for AI search?
- Run the page through an AEO scorer that checks indexability, heading structure, whether each section answers its question in the first sentences, and whether claims are backed by sources. A page ready for AI search is crawlable, broken into clearly headed sections, answers directly near the top of each section, uses lists or tables for anything with multiple parts, and cites where its data comes from. Read the full 2026 guide to answer engine optimization for the complete set of practices behind each of these checks.
- Pages that rank well in Google can still fail this test, because ranking and citation use different mechanics: ranking rewards backlinks and keyword relevance, while citation rewards structure, clarity and verifiable sourcing that an AI can extract with confidence.
Why
- Gives the AI-search prompt its own self-contained, citable passage and links out to the full AEO guide for readers who want more depth. (Rule 5)
6. Text section (rich-text) — id b6
Rewritten — Reworks the single-page vs full-stack section into a direct answer for the 'AEO optimization tool' prompt and adds the on-page-scorer internal link that was missing.
Layout
- Layout:
heading, then 2 paragraphs of body text at reading width (max ~70 characters per line).
Headings
<h2>AEO optimization tool
Copy (exact)
- AEO optimization tool
- An AEO optimization tool scores a page against the structural requirements AI search engines use when extracting answers, then returns specific fixes: which headings need rewriting as questions, which sections bury their answer too deep, which claims lack a source. Single-page tools like this one are best for auditing one page before it goes live, learning what a good AEO score looks like, and testing whether a change improved the score. You can check traditional on-page SEO alongside AEO to see where the two overlap and where they diverge — most structural improvements help both, but a page can rank well in Google and still be ignored by an AI engine if it lacks direct answers or sourcing.
- Full-stack AEO platforms do a different job: they track citation frequency across every page on a site, across multiple AI engines, over time. A single-page tool answers whether one page is optimised; a full-stack platform answers how often your brand gets cited overall.
Why
- Answers the 'AEO optimization tool' prompt directly and cross-links to the on-page SEO scorer, addressing the requested SEO-vs-AEO contextual link. (Rule 5, content improvement 5)
7. Text section (rich-text) — id b7
New section — New section directly answering 'Test content for ChatGPT', adding the fan-out-queries and llms.txt links plus the free-tools hub link, none of which had contextual placement before.
Layout
- Layout:
heading, then 1 paragraphs of body text at reading width (max ~70 characters per line).
Headings
<h2>Test content for ChatGPT
Copy (exact)
- Test content for ChatGPT
- There is no separate test for ChatGPT alone, because ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews rely on the same underlying mechanics: the content must be crawlable, structured with clear headings, and directly answerable, and it must show trust signals such as sourcing and dates. Testing a page for AEO readiness checks all of these at once, which covers ChatGPT along with the other major answer engines rather than any one of them in isolation. You can also simulate AI query fan-out for your topic to see the range of related questions an AI might ask on the way to answering the main one, which shows whether your page's coverage is broad enough to be pulled in as a source, and generate an llms.txt file to make your site's structure explicit to AI crawlers. For a full library of checks, browse all free SEO and AEO tools.
Why
- Answers 'test content for ChatGPT' as its own citable section and places two of the plan's free-tool internal links naturally in context. (Rule 5, Rule 4)
8. Text section (rich-text) — id b8
New section — New section directly answering 'How to score pages for answer engines', a question the page never addressed head-on as its own passage.
Layout
- Layout:
heading, then 2 paragraphs of body text at reading width (max ~70 characters per line).
Headings
<h2>How to score pages for answer engines
Copy (exact)
- How to score pages for answer engines
- Score a page for answer engines by checking five things in order: whether the page is crawlable and indexable, whether it uses heading tags to organise content into clear sections, whether each section answers its heading's question within the first 40-60 words, whether it uses lists and tables instead of dense paragraphs for anything with multiple parts, and whether claims are backed by named sources, dates and author information. A page that passes all five is easy for an AI system to parse, verify and extract from with confidence.
- Running this check on one page at a time is a good starting point. Once you are managing more than a handful of pages, tracking these signals — plus actual citation counts across engines — becomes a full-site job rather than a single-page one.
Why
- Answers the fourth AI-search prompt with a complete, standalone methodology passage rather than folding it into another section. (Rule 5)
9. CTA band (cta-band, variant "banner") — id b9
New section — New mid-page CTA band pushing the full-site audit and generative-engine-optimization feature page — previously this upsell only existed as a passing mention of full-stack platforms with no CTA.
Layout
- Layout: full-width band in the primary colour, centered heading + body + button.
- Button -> /app.
Headings
<h2>One page scored is a start. A site tracked over time is the goal.
Copy (exact)
- One page scored is a start. A site tracked over time is the goal.
- This tool tells you if one page is ready to be cited. Run a full-site AEO and SEO audit to track citation readiness across every page, or see how SearchBlueprint tracks generative engine optimization site-wide for ongoing, multi-engine monitoring.
- Run a full-site audit
- Free single-page score above; the full audit adds a prioritised fix list.
Why
- Strengthens the upsell path to the paid full-stack product right after the tool and initial explanation, as the analysis asked for, without waiting until the very end of the page. (content improvement 8)
10. Process (process, variant "steps") — id b10
Rewritten — Restructures the 'How AI Search Engines Decide What to Cite' wall of prose into five named steps, addressing the missing-H3 issue.
Layout
- Layout: heading, then 5 numbered steps as equal columns (stack on mobile).
Headings
<h2>How AI search engines decide what to cite<h3>Find the content<h3>Understand the content<h3>Verify trustworthiness<h3>Extract reliably<h3>Choose the best source
Copy (exact)
- How AI search engines decide what to cite
- Find the content
- The page must be crawlable: no robots.txt block on AI crawlers, a 200 status response, and text an AI can parse the way a human reads it.
- Understand the content
- Clear headings, subheadings and sections let an AI find the relevant part of a page. Tables, lists and numbered steps signal structure over dense prose.
- Verify trustworthiness
- The AI looks for E-E-A-T signals: author information, publication date, credentials and sourcing. Claims with data or quotes attributed to a source are trusted more than unsupported statements.
- Extract reliably
- Content must be unambiguous and directly answerable. A page stating three named pricing tiers can be cited with confidence; a page saying 'pricing varies' cannot.
- Choose the best source
- Citation frequency, freshness and relevance decide which of several similar pages gets picked. Updated, directly relevant pages beat old or tangential ones.
Why
- Turns the existing 'How AI Search Engines Decide What to Cite' wall of text into named steps with an implicit H3-level hierarchy, easier for both visitors and AI parsers to scan. (content improvement 6)
11. Benefits (benefits, variant "checklist") — id b11
Rewritten — Converts the nine-item numbered 'Best Practices' list into a checklist card block, keeping every original point but easier to scan.
Layout
- Layout: heading + intro paragraph, then 8 items as a two-column list, each row led by a check mark (one column on mobile).
Headings
<h2>Best practices for answer engine optimization<h3>Use question-based headings<h3>Answer in the first 40-60 words<h3>Use lists and tables<h3>Include author, date and sources<h3>Use schema markup<h3>Show multiple perspectives<h3>Write specific, scannable headings<h3>Keep sentences and paragraphs short
Copy (exact)
- Best practices for answer engine optimization
- The same practices that make content easier for AI to extract also make it clearer for human readers.
- Use question-based headings
- Write 'How Does This Work?' instead of 'Overview' so both humans and AI know what the section answers.
- Answer in the first 40-60 words
- Do not bury the answer in narrative text. State it plainly at the start of the section, then add detail below.
- Use lists and tables
- When you have multiple items or a comparison, use a bulleted list, numbered list or table rather than a paragraph.
- Include author, date and sources
- Add a byline, a publication or last-updated date, and links to your sources. These are direct trust signals.
- Use schema markup
- Label FAQ content with FAQPage schema, articles with Article schema, and defined terms with DefinitionSchema so AI systems know what they are reading.
- Show multiple perspectives
- If a question has more than one valid answer or trade-off, present them. AI systems reward nuance over single flat answers.
- Write specific, scannable headings
- 'Automatic Backups, Real-Time Monitoring, and Daily Reports' helps an AI find the exact detail faster than 'Features' does.
- Keep sentences and paragraphs short
- Read the page aloud. If a sentence needs a second read, rewrite it. Break up any paragraph longer than four or five sentences.
Why
- Converts the nine numbered best-practice items into a checklist card layout, keeping every point but making it scannable rather than a dense numbered list. (content improvement 6)
12. Comparison (comparison, variant "two-column") — id b12
Rewritten — Turns the 'Single-Page Analysis vs. Full-Stack AEO Platforms' prose section into a direct comparison table, same content, clearer structure.
Layout
- Layout: heading, then two side-by-side columns with a row label above each pair; stacked on mobile.
- Columns: "Single-page tool (this one)" vs "Full-stack platform"; 5 rows.

OWNER TO SUPPLY: full-stack platform pricing
Why
- Replaces the prose comparison of single-page tools vs full-stack platforms with a direct two-column comparison, making the distinction (and the upsell) easier to grasp at a glance. (Rule 9)
13. FAQ (faq) — id b13
Rewritten — FAQ questions replaced with the plan's four AI-search prompts plus two buyer questions, each with a short answer distinct from the fuller rich-text passages above.
Layout
- Layout: heading, then 6 questions as an accordion (question =

- Add FAQPage JSON-LD with exactly these questions and answers (see page-level schema).

<h2>Frequently asked questions<h3>How do I check if content is optimized for AI search?<h3>What does the AEO optimization tool actually measure?<h3>Can I test content for ChatGPT specifically?<h3>How do you score pages for answer engines?<h3>Is the AEO scorer free to use?<h3>How is this different from a full-site AEO platform?
Copy (exact)
- Frequently asked questions
- How do I check if content is optimized for AI search?
- Run it through an AEO scorer that checks crawlability, heading structure, direct answers near the top of each section, and sourcing.
- What does the AEO optimization tool actually measure?
- Structural signals: indexability, heading hierarchy, answer clarity, lists/tables, and author/date/sourcing information.
- Can I test content for ChatGPT specifically?
- The scorer checks the shared structural signals ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews all use, rather than one engine's private ranking factors.
- How do you score pages for answer engines?
- By checking indexability, heading structure, early direct answers, structured lists/tables, and sourcing, in that order.
- Is the AEO scorer free to use?
- Yes. Scoring one URL is free. A full-site audit with a prioritised fix list is part of the paid product.
- How is this different from a full-site AEO platform?
- This scores one page. A full-stack platform tracks citation frequency across every page and multiple AI engines over time.
Why
- Captures the plan's four AI-search prompts plus two extra real buyer questions as short answers with FAQPage schema for rich results. (Rule 7)
14. CTA band (cta-band, variant "banner") — id b14
New section — New closing CTA band — the page previously ended on an evaluation-criteria list with no call to action at all.
Layout
- Layout: full-width band in the primary colour, centered heading + body + button.
- Button -> /app.
