AEO for Framer:
Implementation Guide
How to implement AEO on Framer sites using custom code embeds and CMS collections. This step-by-step guide covers everything you need to make your Framer site visible to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Why Framer Users Need AEO
If your website runs on Framer, you're already building on a solid foundation. But without Agent Experience Optimization, your content is invisible to the AI search engines that now influence over 60% of online discovery. AI engines don't just crawl your pages — they need structured data signals to understand, categorize, and cite your content in generated answers.
The good news: Framer provides code injection and customization options that make AEO implementation straightforward. The key is knowing exactly what to implement and in what order. This guide gives you that roadmap, specifically tailored for the Framer ecosystem.
Whether you're optimizing for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, or AI Overviews, the structured data foundation is the same. Let's build it on Framer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Framer sites be optimized for AEO?
Yes. Framer renders pages server-side, so schema in custom code embeds is visible to AI crawlers. Use the head code injection in project settings for site-wide schema and page-level code embeds for page-specific schema.
How do I add custom schema in Framer?
Use the Custom Code feature in Page Settings to add JSON-LD script tags to specific pages. For site-wide schema, add it in Project Settings > General > Custom Code > Head. Both methods render server-side for AI crawler visibility.
Does Framer support dynamic schema from CMS data?
Framer CMS collections don't natively generate schema, but you can use custom code components within CMS templates to output schema based on collection fields. This requires some JavaScript knowledge but enables scalable schema generation.
