How to read your AEO report
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 0–2 prompts mention you | Invisible in AI answers — big opportunity |
| 3–5 prompts | Sometimes visible — fix structure and authority |
| 6–8 prompts | Strong — protect and expand |
| 9–10 prompts | Leader — keep content fresh |
The competitor section is often the most valuable: look at the pages AI cites for them. They usually answer the question directly, use clear structure, and are backed by mentions on trusted sites — which tells you exactly what to build.
Turning your AEO report into results
- Answer the question in the first sentence of every key page.
- Add FAQ sections with real questions and short, direct answers, plus FAQPage schema.
- Use tables and lists for comparisons, prices and steps — AI engines love quotable structure.
- Strengthen your entity — a clear About page, consistent bios and profiles.
- Earn mentions and links on sites AI engines already trust in your niche.
- Publish on fresh topics before competitors, and keep facts up to date.
- Make sure AI crawlers can access your important pages.
Track your AEO report over time
One report is a snapshot. Re-run the same 10 prompts every month and keep the results in a simple table. Over a quarter you’ll see which fixes moved your score, which competitors are rising, and which questions need new content. That trend is worth more than any single report.
AEO report vs SEO report
| SEO report | AEO report | |
|---|---|---|
| Measures | Rankings, traffic, technical health | Mentions and citations in AI answers |
| Main question | Can I rank? | Does AI pick me? |
| Key fixes | Technical, content, links | Answer-first content, structure, entity, authority |
| Best used | Together — strong SEO feeds AEO |
Example: a simple AEO report summary
Here’s what a one-page summary might look like for a local service business. Score: 2 out of 10 prompts mention the brand. Top competitors: two directories and one rival agency, cited in seven answers. Cited sources: a comparison listicle, a directory page and the rival’s FAQ page. Gaps: no comparison page, no FAQ schema, an About page with no proof. Top fixes: publish a comparison page, add FAQs with schema to the three money pages, rewrite the About page with real results, and earn two mentions on trusted local sites.
That fits on one page, and it tells you exactly what to do next.
Who your AEO report is for
Share it with whoever owns your website, content and marketing. Business owners use it to decide priorities, content teams use the fix list as a brief, and agencies use it to show clients where they stand in AI answers. Keeping the same format every month makes progress easy to see for everyone.
Using your AEO report with your team
Share the fix list as a simple checklist with an owner and a due date for each item. Review it in a short monthly meeting alongside the new scores. Teams that treat the AEO report as a living document, rather than a one-off PDF, are the ones that see their names start appearing in AI answers.
