Sample AEO Report

See what a useful AEO report should include before you run your own audit: score breakdowns, issue explanations, and a clear action plan.

1. Executive summary

The report should explain your overall AEO score, what that score means, and where the biggest visibility risks sit across technical setup, content, and trust.

2. Technical findings

Expect checks for crawl access, sitemap coverage, structured data, canonical signals, and rendering issues that can stop AI systems from reading your pages correctly.

3. Content findings

A useful sample report should show whether your page answers real questions directly, uses clear headings, and includes passages AI systems can quote without heavy rewriting.

4. Trust findings

Strong reports surface missing evidence, weak author or company signals, and unsupported claims that reduce citation confidence for answer engines.

What to look for in a sample AEO report

  • Clear scoring methodology instead of vague grades
  • Issue-by-issue explanation tied to AI search visibility
  • Prioritized next steps rather than an unranked checklist
  • Examples of how better formatting or proof improves citation readiness
