Moderate AI visibility with 31 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 60/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Sitemap Completeness, Table & List Extractability, and Direct Answer Paragraphs. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Speakable Schema, and Owned Data Density. HTTPS is not enabled, which caps several criteria scores and reduces AI crawler trust.
How to Improve
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
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.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.

Top Opportunities10
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.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
Add Organization schema with consistent name, address, phone (NAP). Include sameAs links to social profiles and authoritative directories to strengthen entity recognition.
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.
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.
