Weak AI visibility with 21 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 47/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Sitemap Completeness, Fact & Data Density, and Content Cannibalization. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Schema.org Structured Data, and Internal Linking Structure.
How to Improve
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
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.
Add rel="canonical" tags to all pages to prevent duplicate content confusion.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
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 allAdd 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 concise, standalone answer paragraphs (2-3 sentences) immediately after question headings. These "snippet-ready" paragraphs are ideal for AI engine citations.
Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
Strengthen internal linking with descriptive anchor text between related pages. Add breadcrumb navigation and ensure every key page is reachable within 3 clicks from the homepage.
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.
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 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.
