Description
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and every other answer engine pull content by lifting a chunk of a page, not by reading the whole thing top to bottom. A page that’s well-written but structured like a magazine article is harder to lift from than one structured like a reference doc, and most WordPress sites weren’t built with that in mind.
AEO Readiness Scanner fetches your published posts, pages, and products the way a browser or Googlebot would, and checks five structural signals on each one:
– Question-format H2/H3 heading, giving an answer engine an obvious anchor
– A concise, standalone direct-answer paragraph near the top of the content
– FAQPage schema (explicit machine-readable Q&A markup)
– A scannable bulleted or numbered list
– Multiple H2/H3 headings, meaning the page is sectioned instead of one long wall of text
Every page gets a score out of 5 with a checklist of exactly which signals are present, plus a site-wide average and a count of pages that need the most work. This is a structure check, not a content or accuracy grade. A page can score 5/5 and still have a mediocre answer, or score low and still perform fine in classic search. Long-form narrative content (case studies, brand storytelling) often scores lower by design, that’s not automatically a problem, just a signal the page isn’t shaped for direct-answer extraction.
Facts only, not a ranking guarantee. Nothing here can promise an answer engine will actually cite you, since that depends on factors outside any single page’s control. Think of it as removing structural friction, not buying a result.
