Weak AI visibility with 30 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: content licensing & ai permissions.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 49/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include llms.txt File, Clean, Crawlable HTML, and Internal Linking Structure. Priority gaps: Content Licensing & AI Permissions, Speakable Schema, and Citation Density. Topic coherence is 4/10, which caps the overall score at 55. Focusing content on core expertise areas is the single highest-impact improvement.
How to Improve
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability 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.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
32/32 images lack explicit width/height - the most common cause of layout shift (CLS)
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Top Opportunities10
View allPublish 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.
Sections within pages contain identical or near-identical text. LLMs may flag this as low-quality or thin content, reducing citation authority. Rewrite duplicate blocks with unique angles.
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 concise, standalone answer paragraphs (2-3 sentences) immediately after question headings. These "snippet-ready" paragraphs are ideal for AI engine citations.
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.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
Define the primary entity in the first 500 characters, use consistent terminology (same term 70%+), and add "unlike X" signals to help AI engines distinguish your topics.
