Will Google lift your answer into a featured snippet or an AI Overview? Paste your content and the question it answers, and the AEO Readiness Checker scores it on the things answer engines reward: an answer-first opener, clean quotable sentences, question-shaped headings and sourced facts. Then it gives you an AI rewrite that turns your opening into a liftable, snippet-length answer. Free, in your browser, nothing stored.
Why AEO readiness matters now
Search is changing. When Google shows an AI summary, people click through far less. Pew Research found click-through to a normal search result fell to 8% when an AI summary was shown, versus 15% without one. If an answer engine doesn’t lift and cite your content, that traffic simply goes away.
This checker scores your content on what answer engines actually reward: an answer-first opener, quotable sentences, question-shaped headings and sourced facts. Then it rewrites your opening into a liftable, snippet-length answer, so you hand Google and ChatGPT something clean to quote.

Frequently asked questions
What is AEO? Answer Engine Optimization, formatting your content so Google’s AI Overviews and assistants like ChatGPT can lift and cite it.
