Checks by track.What does Benchmarq check?
Benchmarq runs 200+ tests in four tracks: GEO, AIO, AEO and CORE. These pages describe what each track covers, by category. The individual checks, with their results and fixes, are in your report in the app.
Which track do you want to read about?
Each track answers one question about your site and has its own score from 0 to 100.
GEO: Generative Engine Optimization
Will AI models cite and describe your brand correctly in generated answers?
See the GEO checks→AIO: AI Index Optimization
Can AI-powered search reach, index and place your pages?
See the AIO checks→AEO: Answer Engine Optimization
Can answer engines and AI agents read your site, extract facts and act on it?
See the AEO checks→How do the checks work?
Every scan runs the same rules, and every deduction ties to one check and one fix.
Weighted checks
Each check has a weight, so a critical failure costs more than a minor one. The four track scores combine into the overall score.
Site-wide and page checks
Some checks apply to the whole domain, such as crawler rules, headers and llms-full.txt. Others apply to each page. Both show up in the report.
Add-ons
Agentic App and Agentic Commerce add extra checks for apps and shops. They are reported separately and do not change the overall score.
See the add-ons→Where the detail is
The full list of checks, their results and their fixes is in your report. The public pages stay at category level.
