Weak AI visibility with 21 of 48 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 47/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Canonical URL Strategy, Content Cannibalization, and Content Depth. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Schema.org Structured Data, and Comprehensive FAQ Section.
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.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
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.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Top Opportunities10
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.
Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.
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 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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
