AI Search / AEO Readiness

Before you worry about ranking in AI, make sure AI can understand your site.

PageLens reviews whether answer engines can crawl, extract, summarise, trust and cite your site. It is an audit-first AEO lens for founders, agencies and AI-built products.

This is readiness auditing, not fragile daily AI rank tracking.

What the lens checks

AEO basics most early-stage sites miss.

Most AI visibility tools start with rank tracking. PageLens starts lower in the stack: can answer engines access, understand and confidently quote the site at all?

AI crawlability

Checks robots.txt, indexability, important page status codes and whether AI/search crawlers are accidentally blocked.

ChatGPT Search readiness

Reviews whether OAI-SearchBot is allowed when you want content to be eligible for ChatGPT Search surfaces.

Extractability

Looks for meaningful content in the HTML, clean headings, semantic structure and pages that do not depend entirely on heavy JavaScript.

Entity clarity

Asks whether it is obvious what you do, who you serve, what it costs, where you operate and why you should be trusted.

Answerability

Finds whether your pages contain clear Q&A-style answers that an AI system can lift into a useful response.

Citation trust

Checks for factual claims, dates, author or company signals, sourceable statements, pricing and stable pages worth citing.

Structured data

Reviews organisation, product, FAQ, article, breadcrumb and review schema where they make sense.

Content gaps

Highlights missing comparison, alternative, use-case, pricing and FAQ pages that answer commercial-intent prompts.

The PageLens angle

We tell you why AI tools are unlikely to cite you, then what to fix this week.

This is not an enterprise prompt-volume index. It is a practical launch-readiness lens for teams without an SEO department: clear issues, evidence, and fixes that make your site easier to understand and quote.

What to add to your site this week

  • Add a 40-60 word "What is [product]?" block near the top of the homepage.
  • Add a short FAQ that answers buyer questions in complete, quotable sentences.
  • Add organisation and product schema where the page already contains the facts.
  • Make pricing, audience, service area and trust signals explicit.
  • Allow OAI-SearchBot if appearing in ChatGPT Search is part of the strategy.
  • Add comparison, alternative or use-case pages for commercial-intent questions.

Make your site answer-engine ready before launch.

Run a PageLens audit to find the gaps between "the page exists" and "AI systems can confidently explain, trust and cite it."
