Moderate AI visibility with 30 of 48 criteria passing. Biggest gap: content licensing & ai permissions.
Developer Tools & InfrastructureDeveloper PlatformsVerdict
Below-average AEO readiness at 51/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include llms.txt File, Internal Linking Structure, and RSS/Atom Feed. Priority gaps: Content Licensing & AI Permissions, Speakable Schema, and Answer Capsule Pattern. Topic coherence is moderate at 5/10, capping the score at 60. Tighter topical focus would lift this ceiling.
How to Improve
Minimize blocking scripts and stylesheets in <head> to improve content availability for AI crawlers.
Update robots.txt to explicitly allow AI crawlers and include sitemap directive.
Ensure clean, well-structured HTML with proper meta tags, HTTPS, and parseable content for AI crawlers.
Generate a comprehensive sitemap with lastmod dates for all important pages.
Implement hreflang tags and lang attributes so AI engines serve the correct language version when answering queries.
Trim oversized HTML, excessive DOM nodes, and large inline payloads that slow AI crawlers.
Optimize compression, cache headers, redirect chains, and HTML payload size for faster AI crawler access.
Add rel="canonical" tags to all pages to prevent duplicate content confusion.
Top Opportunities10
Publish 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.
Add question-based headings (H2/H3) throughout your content. Use "What is...", "How does...", "Why should..." patterns that match how users query AI assistants.
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.
Add inline citations to external sources, "According to [Source]..." attribution phrases, and a Sources section at the end of key articles.
