Moderate AI visibility with 36 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 53/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Q&A Content Format, Direct Answer Paragraphs, and Canonical URL Strategy. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, RSS/Atom Feed, and Content Licensing & AI Permissions. Topic coherence is moderate at 5/10, capping the score at 60. Tighter topical focus would lift this ceiling.
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.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
Generate a comprehensive sitemap with lastmod dates for all important pages.
67/73 images lack explicit width/height - the most common cause of layout shift (CLS)
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Top Opportunities10
View allEnsure 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.
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.
Add specific numbers, percentages, statistics, and data points throughout your content. Fact-dense content gives AI engines concrete data to cite rather than vague claims.
Add more proper nouns throughout content - named sources, organizations, tools, studies, and locations. Cited text averages 20.6% proper nouns; most sites fall well below 15%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
