SEOAST launches free GEO and AEO audits for AI search visibility

SEOAST, a product of AI Venture Holdings LLC, is offering free audits that show how a single web page is read by search engines and AI answer systems. The tool scores 32 page-level checks and gives ranked fixes, aiming to help marketers, agencies and developers improve how pages are understood before launch or optimization.

Why it matters: - SEOAST is designed to show how a page may be interpreted by search and AI answer systems before users or crawlers see it. - The audits focus on page-side signals that can affect visibility in Google, Google AI Overviews, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. - The tool gives site owners a prioritized fix list instead of a generic report.

What happened: - SEOAST, a product of AI Venture Holdings LLC, now offers free generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization audits at seoast.ai. - The audits run 32 checks on a single URL using the raw HTML returned by the server. - Each audit produces a score from 0 to 100 and a ranked list of fixes. - The service is available through a web form, a REST API and a Model Context Protocol server.

The details: - The 32 checks are grouped into six areas: indexability and crawl control, search appearance, content and structure, machine readability, AI-search readiness, and business trust and legitimacy. - The report checks whether robots.txt blocks AI crawlers. - The report checks whether the page content appears in the raw HTML. - The report checks whether question headings have direct answers. - The report checks whether structured data is present. - The report checks whether the business behind the page is clearly identified. - Each finding includes the measurement behind it and a specific fix. - SEOAST measures the page itself. - SEOAST does not query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews. - SEOAST does not report rankings or citations in those systems. - Free audits do not require an account and are limited to 10 per day. - A free API key requested through SEOAST contact raises the limit to 100 audits a day. - No credit card is required. - The tool is aimed at agencies auditing prospects, marketers checking pages before launch and developers using scripts or AI agents. - SEOAST also publishes analysis of changes in AI search at SEOAST insights. - Site owners can run a free audit at SEOAST audit.

Between the lines: - SEOAST is positioning itself as a diagnostic layer for AI-era discoverability, not as a rank tracker. - The emphasis on raw HTML, crawl control and structured data suggests the product is built to surface problems that can block machine interpretation before content is optimized for traffic. - The free access model lowers the barrier for agencies and developers to test multiple pages, then scale into API or agent workflows.

What's next: - SEOAST will likely keep pushing its audits as AI search behavior changes and site owners look for more direct signals about page readiness. - AI Venture Holdings says the company will continue publishing analysis of shifts in AI search through SEOAST's insights content.

The bottom line: - SEOAST is betting that the next search optimization workflow starts with a page-level audit of what machines can actually read.
