Question 1

What does this tool check?

Accepted Answer

Paste any webpage URL and the tool analyzes it against the signals AI systems use when deciding whether to cite and recommend your content — structured data, metadata quality, content clarity, performance, and security. You get an overall LLM readiness score out of 100, a category breakdown, and a prioritized list of fixes. Results appear in under 30 seconds.

Question 2

What is LLM optimization — and what are GEO and AEO?

Accepted Answer

LLM optimization (LLMO) is the practice of making your website structured and clear enough for AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI to understand, cite, and recommend your content. It's also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — optimizing for generative AI search engines — and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), which focuses on getting your content selected as the direct answer in AI-powered responses. All three terms describe the same shift: content needs to be machine-readable and authoritative, not just keyword-rich.

Question 3

Why does my LLM readiness score matter?

Accepted Answer

AI-powered search and answer engines are rapidly replacing traditional search for high-intent queries. A low GEO or AEO score means AI tools won't confidently reference your company — even if your content is excellent. Buyers increasingly discover vendors through AI responses, not page-one rankings, so LLM readiness directly affects pipeline.

Question 4

What affects my score?

Accepted Answer

Your score is based on structured data (Schema.org markup), metadata quality, content clarity, page performance, HTTPS, mobile-friendliness, and how directly your pages answer specific questions. These are the same signals GEO and AEO practitioners optimize for — each factor is weighted by how much it affects AI discoverability and citation likelihood.

Question 5

How is GEO / AEO different from regular SEO?

Accepted Answer

Traditional SEO optimizes for keyword rankings in blue-link search results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) go deeper — they're about whether AI systems can extract meaning from your content, trust your authority on a topic, and choose to surface your answer when a user asks a relevant question. Many pages that rank well in SEO still score poorly for LLM readiness.

Question 6

What should I do if my score is low?

Accepted Answer

Start with the high-priority recommendations in your report — typically adding Schema.org structured data, improving metadata, and restructuring content with clear headings and direct answers. These are the core GEO and AEO fixes that have the most impact on AI citation rates. If you want expert help, Orchestrik's team can audit and implement these changes for you.
