Grades
AEOrank maps the 0–100 score to a letter. Grades describe crawler access and extractability, not whether ChatGPT will cite you. There is no citation guarantee.
Grade scale
Section titled “Grade scale”| Grade | Score | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 95–100 | Crawler-ready |
| A | 85–94 | Highly extractable |
| B | 70–84 | Technically ready |
| C | 55–69 | Partial readiness |
| D | 40–54 | Weak signals |
| F | 0–39 | Blocked or unreadable |
We do not label grades “highly cited,” “consistently visible,” or “sometimes cited.” Those are mention-monitoring outcomes. AEOrank does not track mentions.
