Verdict

Below-average AEO readiness at 52/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Q&A Content Format, Query-Answer Alignment, and Answer-First Placement. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Schema.org Structured Data, and Sitemap Completeness. Topic coherence is moderate at 5/10, capping the score at 60. Tighter topical focus would lift this ceiling.

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.

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 inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.

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 specific numbers, percentages, statistics, and data points throughout your content. Fact-dense content gives AI engines concrete data to cite rather than vague claims.

Include dateModified schema, visible last-updated dates, and time elements on content pages. Fresh content signals help AI engines prioritize your pages over stale alternatives.

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.

Implement JSON-LD structured data (Organization, Service, Product, FAQPage) on key pages. Schema markup helps AI engines extract and cite your content accurately.

Establish a regular content publishing cadence with dated entries in your sitemap. Consistent publishing signals to AI engines that your site is an active, current information source.
