Moderate AI visibility with 31 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 51/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Internal Linking Structure, Content Freshness Signals, and Sitemap Completeness. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Comprehensive FAQ Section, and Content Licensing & AI Permissions. 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.
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.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
316/405 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.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Top Opportunities10
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add question-based headings (H2/H3) throughout your content. Use "What is...", "How does...", "Why should..." patterns that match how users query AI assistants.
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.
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.
Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.
