How to Use the AEO Analyzer
The AEO Analyzer in LinkLoom evaluates how well your content is optimized for AI answer engines. Access it from the right panel while editing any article.
Accessing the Analyzer
- Open an article in the content editor
- Look for the analyzer tabs in the right sidebar
- Click on the AEO tab to open the analyzer
- Click Analyze to start the evaluation
The analysis typically takes 5-15 seconds depending on content length.
Understanding Your Scores
The analyzer provides four key metrics:
Answer Optimization (0-100)
This measures how directly your content answers questions. Higher scores indicate clear, extractable answers that AI can easily quote. Aim for 70 or above.
Entity Relevance (0-100)
Evaluates whether you mention authoritative sources, experts, organizations, or concepts relevant to your topic. Including credible entities boosts this score.
Topical Authority (0-100)
Measures the depth and expertise demonstrated in your content. Comprehensive coverage of a topic with specific details and insights improves this metric.
Question Coverage (0-100)
Assesses how many relevant questions your content addresses. Including FAQ sections or addressing common queries helps here.
Working with Suggestions
The analyzer provides specific improvement suggestions for each score category. Each suggestion includes:
- The type of improvement (authority signal, answer format, etc.)
- Specific text or changes to add to your content
- Location guidance for where to insert improvements
You can apply suggestions in two ways:
- Click "Apply" to automatically insert the suggestion
- Use as reference and manually edit your content
Best Practices
- Run analysis early in your editing process to identify gaps
- Focus on low-scoring areas first for maximum improvement
- Re-analyze after changes to verify improvement
- Balance all four metrics rather than maximizing just one
