Answer Engine Optimization platform

Be the answer AI gives.

Answerworthy shows you what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude say about your brand, scores whether AI can actually read your site, and turns both into a ranked list of fixes. Buyers ask AI first now — Answerworthy makes sure the answer is you.

Why does AI search need its own playbook?

Zero

JavaScript executed by major AI crawlers

A measurement of roughly one billion requests found GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot execute no JavaScript at all — they only read raw HTML.

What does Answerworthy measure?

Two numbers describe your AI-search position. Answerworthy tracks both, per engine, over time — and never shows you a score it cannot back with a stored raw response.

Measurement

What does AI actually say about you?

  • Runs a panel of your buyers’ real questions through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude on their native APIs
  • Records whether you are named, cited, or invisible — and who gets recommended instead
  • Tracks share of answer over time, per engine and per question
Readiness

Can AI reach, read and understand your site?

  • 92 deterministic checks across crawl access, structured data, entity signals, answer liftability and site foundation
  • Fetches your pages exactly as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot do — bot walls and ghost content show up immediately
  • Every failed check maps to a concrete, ranked fix

    Fix

Frequently asked questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of making your brand visible and citable inside AI-generated answers from engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude — measuring what they say about you, and structuring your site so they can read, trust and quote it.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO earns you a position in a list of links; AEO earns you a place inside the answer itself. The overlap is real but incomplete: AI engines reward raw-HTML readability, extractable answers and entity clarity far more heavily than classic ranking signals.
How does Answerworthy measure AI visibility?
It runs a panel of questions your buyers actually ask through each AI engine’s native API, then records citations, mentions and recommendations per engine over time. Raw responses are stored, so every claim in your dashboard is backed by an actual answer.
Will this site itself score well on Answerworthy?
Yes — this website is scanned by the platform it markets. It ships every quotable word in raw HTML, hand-authored structured data, an authored llms.txt, and markdown versions of every page. The score is public proof the advice works.
