Moderate AI visibility with 30 of 48 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 53/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Sitemap Completeness, RSS/Atom Feed, and Content Cannibalization. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Content Licensing & AI Permissions, and Canonical URL Strategy.
How to Improve
Add a machine-readable llms.txt file at your domain root that describes your site, services, and key pages for AI engines.
Create a comprehensive llms-full.txt with detailed page descriptions, content summaries, and topic taxonomy.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Add rel="canonical" tags to all pages to prevent duplicate content confusion.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Top Opportunities10
Publish original research, statistics, case studies, or proprietary data that AI engines can cite. Unique data points make your content a primary source rather than a derivative one.
Ensure blog content consistently covers your core expertise areas rather than scattering across unrelated topics. AI engines build authority models - a site about "Medicare coverage" that also publishes about humidifiers and groceries dilutes its topical authority.
Expand articles to 1000+ words with structured H2/H3 sections, comparison tables, and expert analysis. Thin content (under 300 words) is rarely cited by AI engines. Deep, well-structured articles demonstrate expertise.
Write concise, standalone answer paragraphs (2-3 sentences) immediately after question headings. These "snippet-ready" paragraphs are ideal for AI engine citations.
Include "our analysis", "our data", "our testing" phrases backed by original research or proprietary data. 52.2% of AI-cited posts contain owned data signals.
Use HTML tables for comparison data and ordered/unordered lists for features, steps, and specifications. Structured data formats are directly extractable by AI engines for answers.
Write self-contained definition sentences and single-claim statements that AI engines can quote directly. Avoid pronouns like "this" or "that" at the start of answer paragraphs.
Create a dedicated FAQ page with FAQPage schema markup. Cover common questions about your products, services, and industry to become a direct answer source for AI engines.
Add Organization schema with consistent name, address, phone (NAP). Include sameAs links to social profiles and authoritative directories to strengthen entity recognition.
Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
