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 2026
organization_schema — brand entity in AI knowledge graphs
ucp_profile — Universal Commerce Protocol (/.well-known/ucp), with built-in security check that detects leaked JWK private keys
jsonld_quality — three-page schema breadth audit (homepage / category / product), WebSite+SearchAction, BreadcrumbList, ItemList
well_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 --category and --fail-on-severity CLI 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_traffic checker 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. The live_signal category remains in CheckerInterface for third-party modules with secure live-signal sources — notably angeo/module-aeo-brand-visibility.

What it checks — 15 signals

#	Signal	Code	Weight	Category	What it validates
1	robots.txt — AI bots	`robots_txt`	1.0	technical	12 AI bots, syntax errors, versioned UAs, conflicting rules
2	llms.txt — content map	`llms_txt`	1.0	technical	Spec compliance + store-locale + currency match + cross-host links
3	llms.jsonl — catalog	`llms_jsonl`	0.75	technical	JSON Lines validity, required fields, eCommerce fields
4	sitemap.xml	`sitemap`	0.8	technical	XML, lastmod, `.gz`, catalog disproportion
5	Product schema	`product_schema`	1.0	technical	JSON-LD on real product, offers, Hyvä detection
6	Merchant policies ★ NEW	`merchant_policies`	0.9	technical	`hasMerchantReturnPolicy`, `OfferShippingDetails`, `priceValidUntil`, `itemCondition`
7	Organization schema ★ NEW	`organization_schema`	0.8	technical	`Organization` / `OnlineStore` on homepage, `sameAs`, logo

9	AI product feed	`ai_product_feed`	1.0	feed	Feed file, `/.well-known/ai-plugin.json`, REST endpoint
10	JSON-LD quality ★ NEW	`jsonld_quality`	0.7	technical	Breadcrumb, ItemList, WebSite+SearchAction, duplicate schemas
11	Canonical + hreflang	`canonical`	0.7	technical	Canonical agrees with og:url + JSON-LD url; hreflang on multi-store
12	Open Graph	`open_graph`	0.7	technical	All 5 OG tags, description length
13	FAQ schema	`faq_schema`	0.5	technical	FAQPage JSON-LD on homepage or sampled CMS page
14	Well-known matrix ★ NEW	`well_known`	0.5	technical	ucp / ai-plugin.json / security.txt / mcp inventory
15	Core Web Vitals ★ NEW	`core_web_vitals`	0.5	external_api	LCP / INP / CLS via Google CrUX (API key required)

★ NEW = added in v3.0.0.

Installation

composer require angeo/module-aeo-audit
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush

Official distribution channels

This module is distributed only through the following channels:

Channel	URL
Composer / Packagist	packagist.org/packages/angeo/module-aeo-audit
Source code	github.com/angeo-dev/module-aeo-audit
Issue tracker	github.com/angeo-dev/module-aeo-audit/issues
All angeo packages	packagist.org/packages/angeo/ · github.com/angeo-dev

No custom Composer repository is required. The composer require command above resolves the package directly from Packagist, which every Magento installation already trusts by default. If a third-party site instructs you to run composer config repositories.* ... before installing, that is not an official Angeo instruction — the only supported sources are:

Packagist — https://packagist.org/packages/angeo/
GitHub — https://github.com/angeo-dev/

Third-party sites may mirror or index this package. Those listings are not maintained by Angeo, and any quality, test, or security ratings shown there are produced by third parties using undisclosed criteria. The authoritative build status is the CI badge at the top of this file, which runs PHPCS, PHPStan and PHPUnit against PHP 8.2–8.4 on every commit.

For full coverage, install the companion modules:

composer require \
  angeo/module-llms-txt \
  angeo/module-rich-data \
  angeo/module-openai-product-feed \
  angeo/module-openai-product-feed-api \
  angeo/module-ucp \
  angeo/module-aeo-brand-visibility

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_audit ACL 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.
