The AEO Leaderboard

103 brands across 7 categories, ranked by the quick grade: 8 crawl-time checks on each homepage, from AI-crawler access and schema to the sitemap, Open Graph, title, meta description and HTTPS, with llms.txt as information. A grade is readiness, not citations.

The method is public at /grade; the 47-signal page audit is a different, deeper instrument.
