What's new in v3.0.0
Major release — see CHANGELOG.md for the breaking-change migration guide if you have custom checkers.
15 signals (up from 9), reflecting the actual AEO landscape of 2026: AI shopping integrations, merchant policies, agentic commerce, and structured-data quality.
6 new checkers:
merchant_policies—MerchantReturnPolicy+OfferShippingDetails— required by Google AI Mode and ChatGPT Shopping since Jan 2026organization_schema— brand entity in AI knowledge graphsucp_profile— Universal Commerce Protocol (/.well-known/ucp), with built-in security check that detects leaked JWK private keysjsonld_quality— three-page schema breadth audit (homepage / category / product),WebSite+SearchAction,BreadcrumbList,ItemListwell_known— discovery matrix for/.well-known/{ucp,ai-plugin.json,security.txt,mcp}core_web_vitals— LCP / INP / CLS via Google CrUX API (free, opt-in with API key)
Refactored architecture (this is the BC-break):
- Shared
Service\HttpCache— eliminates duplicate fetches across checkers (hundreds of redundant HTTP requests on multi-store audits before, dozens now) Service\StoreUrlSampler— single source of truth for product / category / CMS URL sampling- New
--categoryand--fail-on-severityCLI flags for CI workflows - Per-checker exception isolation — slow or failing checkers no longer halt the audit run
Note on access-log monitoring: an
ai_bot_trafficchecker was prototyped during v3 development and excluded from the release after security review — it encouraged broad read access on/var/log/nginx/, didn't work on Cloud/containerised hosting, and was dominated by false positives behind edge caches. AI-bot traffic is better measured at the edge (Fastly/Cloudflare Analytics) or via APM (New Relic, Datadog) than inside a PHP module. See CHANGELOG.md "Considered and rejected" for the full rationale. Thelive_signalcategory remains inCheckerInterfacefor third-party modules with secure live-signal sources — notablyangeo/module-aeo-brand-visibility.
What it checks — 15 signals

Installation
composer require angeo/module-aeo-audit
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush
For full coverage, install the companion modules:
composer require \

CLI usage
# Audit all stores
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit
# Specific store
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --store=en_us
# JSON output (for dashboards / CI)
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --format=json
# Markdown report to file
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --format=markdown --output=/var/www/html/aeo-report.md
# Fast technical-only checks (skip external APIs)
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --category=technical
# Run only external-API checks (Core Web Vitals + any third-party live signals)
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --category=external_api,live_signal
# Fail build if score below threshold
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --fail-on=80
# Fail build if any critical-severity check fails
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --fail-on-severity=critical
# Run without saving to DB (CI / read-only environments)
bin/magento angeo:aeo:audit --no-save
Sample output:
AEO Score: [████████████████░░░░] 81% — Good
✓ Pass: 12 ⚠ Warn: 3 ✗ Fail: 1
Critical fixes needed:
→ Install angeo/module-openai-product-feed and register at chatgpt.com/merchants
💡 Fix with angeo modules:
composer require angeo/module-openai-product-feed angeo/module-openai-product-feed-api
composer require angeo/module-ucp
Configuration
Some checkers need configuration. All are accessed via: Stores → Configuration → Angeo AEO.
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| CrUX API Key | Required by core_web_vitals checker. Free key from console.cloud.google.com — enable the Chrome UX Report API. Stored encrypted. |
Admin UI
- Marketing → Angeo AEO → AEO Audit Results — full history grid
- Marketing → Angeo AEO → Score Trend — line chart of AEO score over time
- ▶ Run Audit Now button (on the Audit Results grid, Score Trend, and result
view pages) — triggers an on-demand audit. Since 3.1.0 this is a POST action
protected by the admin form key and the dedicated
Angeo_AeoAudit::run_auditACL permission; the old GET menu entry was removed.
Score interpretation
| Score | Label | Typical situation |
|---|---|---|
| 0–25% | Critical | Default Magento install. AI crawlers blocked. No schema. |
| 26–50% | Needs Improvement | Some fixes applied. Feed or merchant policies missing. |
| 51–75% | Needs Improvement | Core signals in place. UCP, ai-plugin.json, or hreflang missing. |
| 76–90% | Good | Strong foundation. Minor gaps in well-known or CWV. |
| 91–100% | Excellent | Full 2026 AEO compliance. |
Cron
Weekly audit every Monday at 03:00 server time. Results saved to DB, last 50 per store retained.
bin/magento cron:run --group=default
For fast daily checks (without external APIs or log scans), schedule an
additional cron job calling the audit with --category=technical.
Extending with custom checks
Implement Angeo\AeoAudit\Api\CheckerInterface (or extend
Angeo\AeoAudit\Model\Checker\AbstractChecker, which provides HTTP cache,
URL sampling and JSON-LD parsing), and register via di.xml:
<type name="Angeo\AeoAudit\Model\AuditRunner">
<arguments>
<argument name="checkers" xsi:type="array">
<item name="my_check" xsi:type="object">Vendor\Module\Model\Checker\MyChecker</item>
</argument>
</arguments>
</type>
v3 interface:
public function getName(): string; // "My Custom Check"
public function getCode(): string; // "my_check"
public function getWeight(): float; // 0.0–1.0
public function getCategory(): string; // CheckerInterface::CATEGORY_*
public function getSeverity(): string; // CheckerInterface::SEVERITY_*
public function getFixCommand(): string; // "composer require vendor/fix-module" or ""
public function check(\Magento\Store\Api\Data\StoreInterface $store): CheckResult;
Migrating from v2? See CHANGELOG.md for the migration guide.
Running tests
vendor/bin/phpunit -c app/code/Angeo/AeoAudit/phpunit.xml
v3 ships with unit tests covering all 15 checkers, both services
(HttpCache, StoreUrlSampler), the AuditRunner, and the report value
objects.
