Scoring Methodology

How Your AEO Site Rank Is Calculated

A weighted average of 53 deterministic criteria. Each scored 0-10, each with a specific weight. No AI judgment calls - every point is traceable.

87
AI-first contentOut of 100 possible points

The Formula

Score = sum(criterion_score / 10 * weight * 100) / sum(weights)

Each criterion is scored 0-10 by deterministic checks, multiplied by its weight, and summed to produce a 0-100 overall score.

Ensure blog content consistently covers your core expertise areas rather than scattering across unrelated topics. AI engines build authority models - a site about "Medicare coverage" that also publishes about humidifiers and groceries dilutes its topical authority.

Write 20-25 word self-contained answer sentences immediately after each H2 heading. 72.4% of AI-cited posts use this pattern - it gives engines a ready-made snippet to quote.

Strengthen internal linking with descriptive anchor text between related pages. Add breadcrumb navigation and ensure every key page is reachable within 3 clicks from the homepage.

Wrap images in <figure> elements with descriptive <figcaption> tags. Write alt text with 5+ words that describes the image content, not just "image" or "photo".

Define the primary entity in the first 500 characters, use consistent terminology (same term 70%+), and add "unlike X" signals to help AI engines distinguish your topics.

Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.

Shorten sentences to under 25 words, use active voice in lead paragraphs, define jargon inline, and avoid hiding content behind accordions or display:none.

Add a short visible note on AI-assisted pages explaining what role AI played, how humans review the output, and why automation is used. Google's helpful-content guidance asks for disclosure where readers would expect it, and undisclosed AI chat residue erodes trust.

Add visible bylines, author pages, and reviewer/editor details so readers can clearly tell who created the content and why they are credible.

Use semantic HTML5 elements (main, article, nav, header, footer, section) to give AI parsers clear content structure. Add lang attribute and ARIA labels for accessibility.
