Single score plus diagnostic breakdown. The 4 dimensions tell you which fix to ship first.

AEO test · 4-dimension diagnostic · DeFi Lending category

58/100

AEO score: 58 · Below DeFi lending median (62)

Citation rate is currently 47% across 5 prompts tested. Lagging (citation rate) sits below leading (readiness 65). Score will climb modestly without changes. To meaningfully lift it, fix the schema readiness gap first.

Diagnostic breakdown

Factual density

Strong. Pages cite specific APYs, audit firm names and supported chains. AI models reward this density.

Schema readiness

Weak. Missing FinancialProduct schema across 14 lending pages. Single biggest pull-down on the AEO score.

AI bot allowlist

100

Perfect. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all explicitly allowed in robots.txt. No issues.

Authority signals

Acceptable. sameAs covers GitHub, Twitter, CoinGecko. Missing DefiLlama and audit firm sameAs.

Top 3 fixes ranked by AEO lift potential

Ship FinancialProduct schema across 14 lending market pages. Schema readiness is the lowest dimension at 42 and the highest weighted in AEO scoring. This single fix typically lifts the overall AEO score 12-18 points. ~1 hour of dev time using the Token Schema library.
Add DefiLlama and audit firm sameAs links to Organization schema. Authority signal coverage at 68 has clear room to grow. Adding 2-3 recognized crypto authority sameAs targets typically lifts authority signal score 10-15 points and the overall AEO 4-6 points. ~30 minutes.
Add 6-8 Q-and-A blocks per top landing page targeting AEO prompts. Factual density at 76 is already strong; pushing it to 85+ requires explicit Q-and-A structure that AI models extract cleanly. Typically lifts overall AEO 3-5 points. ~4 hours of content work.

Three steps, ~45 seconds end-to-end

No signup. No credit card. Just a domain and a button.

Enter your domain

Type your crypto or Web3 domain. The tester reads the rendered site, your robots.txt and your schema markup before any LLM tests run.

Run the analyzer

The Gemini AI Analyzer scores the 4 readiness dimensions, then runs 5 category-relevant prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude to capture citation rate.

// Why citation rate alone is not enough

Why a readiness score beats a raw citation count

Citation rate tells you what AI models are doing today. Readiness tells you what they will do tomorrow.

The AEO trajectory check

A new site can have low citation rate and high readiness. An old site can have high citation rate while the readiness signals decay. Tracking both tells you which direction you are headed.

The 4 readiness dimensions each map to a specific class of fix. The AI Visibility audit module sequences them by closeability and effort.

Fix · Content

Factual density

Add concrete numbers, audit firm names, supported chains, fee disclosures, jurisdiction. AI models reward density.

Fix · JSON-LD

Schema readiness

FinancialProduct on lending pages, CryptoExchange on swap pages, Organization with full sameAs to authority sources.

Fix · robots.txt

AI bot allowlist

A single robots.txt edit. Allow OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot. Use the free Web3 Robots.txt Checker.

Fix · Schema + outreach

Authority signal coverage

Add sameAs links to CoinGecko, DefiLlama, GitHub, audit firm reports. Combination of schema work and earned link work.

Most teams lift their AEO score 10-20 points within a quarter by fixing the single weakest dimension. The diagnostic above tells you which one.

// AEO test FAQ

Common questions about the AEO test

If you have a question not answered here, the full AI Visibility module page goes deeper.

What is an AEO score?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) score is a 0-100 measure of how visible your site is in AI-generated answers. It combines citation rate across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude with a readiness score across the underlying signals AI models use to decide which sources to cite: factual density, schema completeness, AI bot accessibility and authority signal coverage. The Crawlux AEO score is calibrated for crypto sites; a score of 70+ is strong for the category.

How is this different from the AI Citation Checker?

The AI Citation Checker tests prompt-by-prompt citation behavior: which prompts cite you, which cite competitors instead. The AEO Test gives you a single score plus the underlying readiness signals: are you set up to be cited even if today's citation rate is low. Citation rate is the lagging indicator; readiness is the leading indicator. Most teams use both: AEO Test to diagnose what is holding you back, Citation Checker to track whether the fixes are working over time.

Is this really free?

Yes. The basic test (one domain) is free, no signup required. We rate-limit per IP. The full AI Visibility audit module covers 30+ category-relevant prompts plus competitor benchmark plus prioritized fixes; the free test is for a quick read on overall AEO readiness.

What are the 4 readiness dimensions?

Factual density (how many concrete facts per page: APYs, audit firm names, supported assets, jurisdiction, fees), schema readiness (FinancialProduct, CryptoExchange, Organization JSON-LD presence and validity), AI bot allowlist (whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are explicitly allowed in robots.txt) and authority signal coverage (sameAs to recognized crypto authority sources like CoinGecko, DefiLlama and audit firms). Each dimension is scored 0-100 and weighted into the overall AEO score.

Why does AEO matter for crypto sites?

AI search has shifted ranking economics. Users increasingly ask ChatGPT and Perplexity questions instead of typing them into Google. If your domain is not cited in AI answers, you lose traffic that traditional Google rank tracking does not capture. For crypto specifically, where new users heavily research protocols before committing funds, AI citation is increasingly the first impression. A site ranking #1 in Google but invisible in ChatGPT is increasingly common.

Can I run this on competitor domains?

Yes. The test accepts any public domain. Running it on competitors gives you a quick read on relative AEO position. The full Crawlux Competitor Analysis module benchmarks AEO scores side-by-side automatically against the top 20 sites in your category.

What if my AEO score is low?

A low score is diagnostic, not catastrophic. The 4 readiness dimensions each map to a specific class of fix: factual density is a content fix, schema readiness is a JSON-LD fix, AI bot allowlist is a robots.txt fix, authority signal coverage is a schema and outreach fix. The full audit module sequences these fixes by closeability and effort. Most teams lift their AEO score 15-25 points within a quarter using the prioritized fix list.

How often should I re-test?

Quarterly is enough for most sites. Re-test sooner after shipping major schema or content changes; re-test sooner if you are in a fast-moving crypto category where competitor AEO scores shift quickly. Pro tier ($25) gives a 90-day re-audit window so you can re-test after fixes ship without paying again.
