How to Improve
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Generate a comprehensive sitemap with lastmod dates for all important pages.
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability 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.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Add rel="canonical" tags to all pages to prevent duplicate content confusion.
221/403 images lack explicit width/height - the most common cause of layout shift (CLS)
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Top Opportunities10
View allPublish 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.
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.
Write concise, standalone answer paragraphs (2-3 sentences) immediately after question headings. These "snippet-ready" paragraphs are ideal for AI engine citations.
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.
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.
Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
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.
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.
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.
Add Person schema for content authors with credentials, expertise, and sameAs links. Expert attribution strengthens E-E-A-T signals that AI engines use to evaluate source credibility.
