Moderate AI visibility with 37 of 48 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 56/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Q&A Content Format, Clean, Crawlable HTML, and Sitemap Completeness. 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.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
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.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
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.
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.
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.
Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
Place a concise 40-80 word answer block in the first 300 words of each page. Avoid throat-clearing openers like "In this article..." and lead with the answer.
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.
Add a /llms.txt file that describes your site, core services, and key pages in markdown format. This helps AI engines like ChatGPT and Claude understand your site structure and content offerings.
Include clear definition patterns ("X refers to...", "X is defined as...") for key terms and concepts. Definition-style content is highly citable by AI engines answering "what is" queries.
Create an /ai.txt file specifying AI usage permissions and add license schema to your structured data. Clear licensing signals help AI engines understand how they can use your content.
