Question 2

How is the AEO score calculated?

The score is calculated out of 100 based on four main areas: Schema Markup & JSON-LD (25%), Content Readability & Length (25%), Information Architecture & Nesting (25%), and Technical Crawlability & Meta Tags (25%).

Why is schema markup important for AEO?

JSON-LD schema markup tells AI scrapers exactly what your data represents (like an FAQPage, Article, or Product). This structured layout gives AI models high confidence in quoting and citing your content directly.
