AEO and SEO audit checklist
A 40 point audit framework for real estate websites that need to rank on Google and AI engines.
The AEO and SEO audit checklist is a free downloadable framework that scores a real estate website against 40 ranking signals across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. It groups the signals into six categories: technical foundations, entity and schema, AEO readiness, content depth, local and geo, and off page authority. A single domain can be audited end to end in two to three hours.
Inside this template
- 40 signal framework
- Pass, partial, fail criteria
- Printable scorecard
- Prioritised fix list
- Self-audit guidance
Built for operators who need it to be right the first time.
Ranking a real estate website in 2026 is no longer a single channel problem. Buyers search on Google, ask ChatGPT, get summaries from Perplexity, and use voice search. A site that ranks on one but is invisible on the rest loses pipeline daily. This checklist is built for real estate brokerages, developers, and PropTech founders who want to audit every layer of visibility in one structured pass.
The checklist covers 40 ranking signals grouped into six categories: technical foundations, entity and schema, AEO readiness, content depth, local and geo signals, and off page authority. Each signal includes a pass criterion, the common failure pattern, and the exact fix. You can run the full audit on a single domain in two to three hours, or work through it section by section across a week.
This is the same framework we score every real estate website against before we scope an SEO and AEO programme. Releasing it free because the industry needs a real audit, not a templated one.
