Free AEO & Schema Tools for the AI Era.

Modern search is no longer about just being found — it's about being verified.

A free technical workbench for the 2026 webmaster. These tools audit your digital footprint against the new standards of Answer Engine Optimization — validating JSON-LD entity schema, simulating AI-engine visibility, controlling LLM crawlers, and benchmarking the trust signals that decide whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini cite you.

Category 01

The AI & Entity Suite

Tools that operate at the boundary of E-E-A-T, schema, and the answer-engine layer. Use these to audit how AI search engines see your brand, control which LLMs can ingest your content, and visualise the entity graph behind your JSON-LD.
