Verdict

Below-average AEO readiness at 53/100 - multiple areas need attention. Key strengths include Sitemap Completeness, RSS/Atom Feed, and Fact & Data Density. Priority gaps: llms.txt File, Content Licensing & AI Permissions, and Speakable Schema. HTTPS is not enabled, which caps several criteria scores and reduces AI crawler trust.

Top Opportunities10

Ensure every question-format heading (H2/H3) is followed by a direct answer paragraph. This pattern is ideal for AI engine snippet extraction.

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 concise, standalone answer paragraphs (2-3 sentences) immediately after question headings. These "snippet-ready" paragraphs are ideal for AI engine citations.

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

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.

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 self-contained definition sentences and single-claim statements that AI engines can quote directly. Avoid pronouns like "this" or "that" at the start of answer paragraphs.

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

The same paragraphs appear on multiple pages. AI engines may only index one version and ignore the rest. Rewrite shared content so each page offers a unique perspective.

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.
