AEO Insights
Which questions your content answers, how ready each answer is to be quoted by search and answer engines, and the questions you leave open. Computed from your own content, with no AI calls.
The report is rebuilt every time the Content Audit runs. Until then the tab says "No answer report yet" with a Go to Content Audit button.

How questions are found
- Question headings: a heading that ends in "?", or has 3+ words and starts with a question word (what, how, why, when, where, who, which, is, are, can, does, should…).
- Buried questions: sentences inside paragraphs that end in "?" (3–25 words).
- Up to 12 questions per entry; the same question asked twice in one entry counts once.
Question types
| Type | Example | A good answer… |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | What is a French press? | says "is", "are", "means" or "refers to" in its first sentence |
| How-to | How to clean a grinder | has a list of steps |
| Comparison | Which is better, A or B? · A vs B | has a table or list |
| Quantity, price or time | How much does it cost? · When does it ship? | states the number in its first sentence |
| Yes/no | Can I return it? | starts with "Yes" or "No" |
| List | Best grinders for espresso · Types of roast | has a list or table |
| Reason, Place, Person, Other | Why… · Where… · Who… | has a first sentence |
Definition, how-to, comparison, quantity and yes/no are the core types; a core type you never answer is shown with a None pill as a gap.
Featured-answer readiness
The answer is the first paragraph (or list) right below the question heading. It is direct when its first sentence has 30 words or fewer and isn't itself a question.
| Part | Points |
|---|---|
| Question as a heading | 20 |
| Direct answer | 30 |
| Quotable length: first block of 25–80 words (15–120 gets 10) | 25 |
| Right form for the question type (see above) | 25 |
An answer with 75 or more is ready to be quoted.
What the report shows
| Section | What it lists |
|---|---|
| Question Coverage | Question headings by type, with the core types you never answer. |
| Not Ready to Be Quoted | Answered questions below 75, with what to fix ("first paragraph has 112 words (aim for 25-80)", "answer form does not match the question"). |
| Unanswered Question Headings | Question headings not followed by a short, direct answer (up to 30). |
| Questions Buried in the Text | Questions inside paragraphs; make the important ones headings. |
| Questions Answered More Than Once | The same question in several entries, competing with itself. |
| FAQ Opportunities | Entries with 2+ directly answered question headings but no FAQ structured data. |
| Suggested Questions | "What is …?" for names your content mentions often but never explains (from GEO Insights). |
| AEO History | One snapshot per audit day: AEO score, questions answered, ready to be quoted. |
Each list shows 15 rows; download everything as CSV ("Questions to fix") from Reports.
Extra answer checks in the SEO box
| Check | Warns when |
|---|---|
| Answer Length | The first paragraph under a question heading has fewer than 25 or more than 80 words. |
| Answer Matches the Question | A yes/no answer doesn't start with "Yes" or "No", or a quantity answer doesn't state the number in its first sentence. |
Answer templates
The SEO box side panel has an Answer templates (AEO) section with four blocks shaped the way answer engines quote them, using your focus keyphrase (or the title). Click Copy, paste into the editor and replace the placeholder text. Nothing is added automatically. Not shown for products.
## What is [subject]? [subject] is … (answer in one or two sentences, 40-60 words: what it is, what it is for, and one distinguishing fact).
## How to [subject] One sentence saying what the steps achieve and roughly how long they take. 1. First step: start with a verb. 2. Second step. 3. Third step.
## [subject] vs … : which should you choose? One sentence with the short answer: which option suits whom. | | [subject] | Alternative | | Price | | | | Best for | | | | Main difference | | |
## Frequently asked questions ▸ How much does [subject] cost? Answer with the number first, then the detail. ▸ Is [subject] right for me? Start with "Yes" or "No", then explain when.
Keep the first sentence of each answer to 30 words or fewer so it counts as direct. Themes can override the templates in your-theme/siteryn-seo-geo-aeo-pro/aeo/.
