Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of preparing your site so AI assistants can understand, trust, and cite it in their answers. It covers the technical signals the models rely on: llms.txt, schema markup, metadata, headings, internal linking, freshness, E-E-A-T, and answer-ready content.
Bekon checks the technical signals AI assistants use to understand and trust your site: llms.txt, schema markup, metadata, headings, internal linking, freshness, E-E-A-T, and answer-ready content. It then ranks every fix by impact, so you start with the quick wins.
This is Answer-Engine Optimization rather than classic SEO. Bekon checks the signals AI assistants rely on, llms.txt, structured data, answer-ready content, and E-E-A-T, on top of the classic technical basics, so your site is built to be cited in AI answers and not only ranked in search results.
llms.txt is a file that tells AI crawlers which of your pages matter and how to read them, much as robots.txt guides search engines. Bekon checks whether your site has one, and llms.txt is a deployable item it can push live through the Cloudflare integration.
You get cited by ChatGPT by making your pages easy for it to parse and trust: clean schema markup, answer-ready content, strong E-E-A-T signals, and an llms.txt file. Bekon audits each of these signals, ranks the fixes by impact, and re-scans after you ship them to confirm the change.
Schema markup helps with AI search by giving assistants structured, machine-readable facts about your pages, which makes your content easier to cite. Bekon checks your schema, flags what is missing, and treats it as a deployable fix through the Cloudflare integration.
Bekon rates every check by impact and difficulty, so the quick wins (high-impact, low-effort changes) surface at the top. Each fix also shows the points it should add to your score, so you know what to do first and what it is worth.
Bekon can deploy items like llms.txt and schema live through the Cloudflare integration. Everything else comes copy-paste-ready, with GitHub and Vercel support on the roadmap.
