Verdict

Below-average AEO readiness at 54/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include llms.txt File, Schema.org Structured Data, and robots.txt for AI Crawlers. Priority gaps: RSS/Atom Feed, Speakable Schema, and Creator Transparency. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.

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.

Define the primary entity in the first 500 characters, use consistent terminology (same term 70%+), and add "unlike X" signals to help AI engines distinguish your topics.

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.
