Moderate AI visibility with 30 of 48 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 55/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Direct Answer Paragraphs, Canonical URL Strategy, and Content Publishing Velocity. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, RSS/Atom Feed, and Content Licensing & AI Permissions.
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.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Generate a comprehensive sitemap with lastmod dates for all important pages.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
Top Opportunities10
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.
Include dateModified schema, visible last-updated dates, and time elements on content pages. Fresh content signals help AI engines prioritize your pages over stale alternatives.
Write 20-25 word self-contained answer sentences immediately after each H2 heading. 72.4% of AI-cited posts use this pattern - it gives engines a ready-made snippet to quote.
Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
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.
