What Is the AI SEO Friendly Checker?
Think of this as your content's report card for the AI era. The AI SEO Friendly Checker analyzes your articles and pages to see how well they'll perform with AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok.
This approach is often referred to as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) - optimizing content so AI systems can understand, trust, and cite it when answering questions.
Here's the thing: showing up on Google's first page is great, but what happens when someone asks ChatGPT? That's where this comes in.
Rather than obsessing over traditional rankings, this checker looks at whether your content is actually structured in a way that AI systems can understand, trust, and most importantly — cite when answering questions.
You'll get a clear score from 0 to 100 that shows how AI-friendly your content really is.
How It Actually Works
Here's the whole process used by this AI SEO tool:
- Paste in your article or page URL
- Savannabay crawls the public HTML
- We run 11 different AI-SEO checks on it
- Each check gets scored from 0 to 10
- You get a total compatibility score out of 100
No confusion, no weird metrics. You'll see both your overall score and exactly what needs fixing.
What Your Score Actually Tells You
Your final score shows how likely AI systems are to:
- Parse and understand your content correctly
- Trust it as a reliable source
- Actually cite you in their responses
- Pick you over bigger sites (yes, even without massive domain authority)
- 90–100 → You're killing it. AI loves your content.
- 70–89 → Solid foundation, just needs some polish
- 50–69 → You're in the game but need optimization
- Below 50 → Time for some serious structural fixes
This isn't some theoretical number we made up. It's based on real patterns we've seen in content that actually gets cited by AI platforms.
The 11 Checks We Run
Every check is based on what we've observed in content that AI systems actually reference. Here's what we're looking for:
1. Recent Date & Freshness
Do you have a visible publication or update date from this year or the last 6 months? AI systems love fresh content and it's a major trust signal.
2. Heading Structure (H1, H2, H3)
Is your content organized with clear headings? AI needs this hierarchy to understand how your content is structured.
3. Content Organized in Lists
How much of your content uses bullet points or numbered lists? AI systems extract this stuff way more easily than dense paragraphs.
4. FAQ Section Detection
Got a Q&A format anywhere? This aligns perfectly with how AI responds to queries, making you more citation-worthy.
5. HTML Tables
Are you using tables for data? Machine-readable tables help AI compare facts and figures accurately.
6. Direct Answer at the Beginning
Do you answer the main question right away, or make people scroll forever? Getting to the point early is critical for citations.
7. Keyword Consistency & Topical Coherence
We analyze your semantic focus using TF-IDF and keyword relationships. Are you staying on topic or wandering all over the place?
8. Paragraph Segmentation
Is your content broken into readable chunks? Wall-of-text paragraphs don't do you any favors.
9. Absence of Filler Content
We measure vocabulary richness to spot shallow, repetitive text. AI can tell when you're just padding word count.
10. External Links & Sources
Are you linking to authoritative external sources? It's a credibility boost that AI systems notice.
11. Structured Data (JSON-LD / Schema.org)
Do you have structured metadata? This helps AI fully understand the context and entities in your content.
Each check is worth 10 points, giving you that total of 100.
Why This Stuff Matters for AI Search
Here's the reality: AI systems don't "rank" pages like Google does. Sometimes referred to as LLM SEO - optimizing content for large language models like ChatGPT.
They work differently. AI:
- Reads structure before trying to understand meaning
- Heavily favors recent, clearly organized content
- Wants direct answers, not 3-paragraph intros
- Trusts sources that show their work with evidence and context
The AI SEO Friendly Checker focuses on these exact signals — not vanity metrics. You'll know if your content is citation-ready, not just "searchable."
What You Get After Running a Check
Once the analysis finishes, you'll immediately see:
- Your overall AI-SEO score
- A breakdown of all 11 checks
- Clear explanations of what passed and what didn't
- Actionable steps to improve your AI visibility
From there, you can jump straight into fixing issues and boosting your score so you actually show up when people ask AI about your topic.
Who Should Use This?
This tool is built for:
- Founders & SaaS teams
- SEO pros adapting to AI search
- Content creators & bloggers
- Agencies offering AI-SEO services

If AI is becoming a discovery channel for your audience (and let's be real, it is), this checker shows you exactly where you stand today.
