Introducing Trueline Labs AEO Audit: Your Brand's AI Search Visibility Starts Here

Today, we're launching the tool we wish existed when we started researching AI search optimization: the Trueline Labs AEO Audit.

It's a comprehensive, automated analysis platform that tells you exactly how your website performs against the criteria AI search engines use to evaluate, cite, and recommend content. Not guesses. Not generic tips. A page-by-page, data-driven scorecard with prioritized, actionable recommendations.

Here's why we built it, what it does, and how to start using it today.

The Problem We Couldn't Ignore

The shift from traditional search to AI-powered answer engines is the most significant change in digital discovery in a decade. Platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity now answer hundreds of millions of queries daily and they're not serving ten blue links. They're providing direct answers, citing the sources they trust.

For brands, this creates an urgent problem:

• You don't know if you're visible. Traditional SEO metrics rankings, organic traffic, domain authority don't tell you whether AI models are citing your content.
• You don't know why you're invisible. Even if you suspect AI search is a gap, there's been no way to diagnose the specific issues holding your content back.
• Your competitors might already be ahead. Brands that optimize for Answer Engines now build compounding advantages that late movers struggle to overcome.

We started Trueline Labs because we saw marketing teams struggling with these exact problems and we knew the answer was a purpose-built tool, not a feature bolted onto an existing SEO platform.

What the AEO Audit Does

The AEO Audit analyzes your website through the lens of AI search engines. It evaluates every audited page against the criteria that influence whether AI models will cite your content as a trusted source.

Intelligent Site Crawling

The audit begins by crawling your website, discovering pages, extracting content, parsing structured data, and mapping your site architecture. Our crawler is designed to see your site the way AI models do including JavaScript-rendered content, schema markup, and media assets.

Multi-Dimensional Content Analysis

Each page is analyzed across four pillars of AEO performance:

• Content Authority Depth, accuracy, expertise signals, and original data
• Structural Optimization Heading hierarchy, schema markup, answer positioning, and content flow
• Entity Recognition Brand consistency, entity schema, and cross-platform alignment
• Citation Readiness Quotable statements, source attribution, and content freshness

AEO Scoring

Every page receives a composite AEO score plus pillar-level breakdowns. Scores are benchmarked against industry averages so you understand where you stand relative to the competitive landscape.

Prioritized Recommendations

The audit generates specific, actionable recommendations ranked by impact-to-effort ratio. Every recommendation includes:

• What to change Specific instructions, not abstract advice
• Why it matters How the change influences AI citation likelihood
• Expected impact Predicted improvement to your AEO score
• Implementation effort Quick win, moderate, or significant investment

What Makes the AEO Audit Different

1. Built for AI Search, Not Traditional SEO

Most SEO tools were designed for a world of keyword rankings and backlink profiles. We built the AEO Audit from scratch for the AI search era evaluating the signals that actually influence whether AI models cite your content.

2. Page-Level Granularity

Aggregate site scores hide the details that matter. The AEO Audit scores every page individually, so you know exactly where to focus your optimization efforts.

3. Actionable, Not Just Informative

We don't just show you data we translate analysis into specific actions your team can execute immediately.

4. Fast and Accessible

Run an audit in minutes, not hours. See your initial scores quickly and dive into detailed page-level analysis at your own pace.

Early Results From Beta Users

During our beta period, teams using the AEO Audit saw measurable improvements:

• 150% average increase in AI citation rates after implementing audit recommendations
• 3x improvement in brand mention sentiment across AI platforms
