What's the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO? +
SEO optimizes for ranked results in engines like Google and Bing. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) targets featured snippets, voice answers, and "People Also Ask." GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes your content citable inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. WebsiteAudit grades all three in a single scan and shows where they overlap.
Can WebsiteAudit check whether AI engines can read my site? +
Yes. WebsiteAudit inspects your robots.txt and llms.txt for AI-crawler directives such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot, and evaluates the entity clarity, citable statistics, author credentials, and structured content that generative engines rely on when composing an answer.
Which security checks does WebsiteAudit run? +
WebsiteAudit evaluates HTTPS and TLS, HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, cookie flags, mixed content, and server information leakage — then rolls them into a single security posture score.
Do I need to install anything or sign up? +
No. Enter a URL and run a scan from the browser. The report is graded A–F, broken down by lens, and sorted by impact so you know which fix to ship first. Export a copy any time.
How is the overall score calculated? +
Each of the six lenses produces a weighted sub-score from its individual checks. Critical items (like missing HTTPS or a blocked crawler) carry more weight than cosmetic ones. The overall score is a weighted blend across lenses, then mapped to an A–F grade.
