Methodology: A curated cross-section of public sites is audited monthly against 10 AEO signal categories (schema, AI crawler access, content structure, E-E-A-T, meta tags, citation worthiness, technical readiness, conversational language, content depth, and Open Graph). Scores are 0-100. Sites that could not be fetched (bot protection, server errors) are excluded. Only this curated public set is named here; sites that individuals audit privately are never listed.
