Moderate AI visibility with 37 of 53 criteria passing. Biggest gap: content licensing & ai permissions.
Verdict
Moderate AEO readiness at 65/100 with significant gaps to address. Key strengths include llms.txt File, Sitemap Completeness, and Table & List Extractability. Priority gaps: Content Licensing & AI Permissions, Speakable Schema, and Owned Data Density.
How to Improve
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
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.
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.
