Answer engines don't rank pages. They extract answers and cite sources.
A free Claude skill that audits any page across four layers — bot access, extractability, answer quality, and off-site mentions — against the 3–5 buyer prompts you want to win.
FREE · BUILT BY GROW & CLOSE · WORKS IN CLAUDE + CLAUDE CODE
INPUT
A URL plus the 3–5 buyer prompts you want to own (or let the skill derive them). Live prompt-test results from ChatGPT/Perplexity make the audit sharper.
OUTPUT
Fix now: robots.txt blocks GPTBot — you've opted out of citations · Extractability: “How it works” section builds suspense for 4 paragraphs before the answer; move the answer to sentence one · First play: publish the pricing-comparison table competitors won’t
WHAT THE SKILL DOES
Method, not magic.
- 01Starts from target prompts, not keywords — which questions should this page win in ChatGPT and Perplexity
- 02Checks whether GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot can read the page at all
- 03Audits extractability: answer-first structure, question-shaped headings, self-contained blocks, citable numbers
- 04Compares your answer against who gets cited today, and why
- 05Ends with the single highest-leverage change to go after first
Who it’s for: B2B SaaS marketers watching search traffic flatten while buyers ask ChatGPT what to buy — and anyone told to “do AEO” without a concrete definition of what that means.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to a working skill.
Download and install
Get the .skill file by email and add it to Claude via Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Define the prompts to own
The audit is judged against real buyer prompts — “best X for Y”, “how do I Z” — not abstract SEO scores.
Work the ranked fixes
Findings arrive in four buckets: blocking access issues, extractability fixes, content gaps, and off-site gaps — each with evidence and rewritten copy where relevant.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before you install.
01What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?+
Answer-engine optimization is making your content the source that AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) extract and cite when buyers ask questions. Classic SEO optimizes for ranked links; AEO optimizes for being the quoted answer — which rewards specificity, answer-first structure, and off-site corroboration.
02How do I get my company recommended by ChatGPT?+
Three things this skill audits: make your site readable to AI crawlers (no bot blocks, content in raw HTML), publish specific extractable answers to the prompts your buyers ask, and build consistent off-site mentions — the same company description in the comparison pages, directories, and communities models triangulate from.
03Does gated content hurt AEO?+
Gated pages are invisible to answer engines — they can't extract what they can't read. The rule the skill enforces: gate the asset, never the explanation. The page explaining the thing must be fully crawlable.
04Can one page audit really improve AI visibility?+
One page can win specific prompts, and the audit is honest about the rest: layer four checks off-site signals, because models triangulate across sources. You'll get both the on-page fixes and the off-site gap list.
