AI + SEO readiness checklist

Tick what you've already done across crawler access, SEO, content, schema, and authority. Get a live readiness score and download your checklist — the unchecked items become your prioritized to-do list.

Why one combined AI + SEO checklist

Classic SEO and AI-answer optimization reinforce each other — 90% of Google AI Overviews cite at least one page that also ranks in the top-10 organic results (seoClarity, 362k queries) — so the smart move is to fix both together. AEO only works on a solid SEO base. This checklist covers the five layers that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI can find, understand, and recommend you: crawler access, SEO foundation, extractable content, structured data, and third-party authority. It runs entirely in your browser.
