How AI sees it: invisible · preview · 33 critical issues blocking AI agents.
AISO fixBreak paragraphs above 400 words with subheadings, lists, or bolded facts
AISO fixAllowlist these UAs at your CDN (Cloudflare WAF rules / Akamai Bot Manager / fastly). Cloudflare's 'Verified Bots' toggle covers most of these but ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot frequently need explicit rules. Check robots.txt too.
AISO fixSend a Content-Security-Policy response header (or <meta http-equiv> tag) so directive strictness can be scored.
AISO fixBuild cited-by signals: domain authority (OpenPageRank), placements on high-DR publications (TechCrunch, ProductHunt, etc), patent/news mentions. Authority is the #1 driver of LLM citations.
AISO fixMention the brand at least once like "Acepe is a [category] for [audience]" for clean LLM resolution.
AISO fixReturns HTTP 404. Update or remove this link.
AISO fixCite at least one .edu/.gov, Wikipedia, IETF/W3C spec, or tier-1 publication near your flagship claims.
AISO fixWrap the FAQ with a FAQPage JSON-LD block so AI engines can lift the Q/A pairs verbatim.
AISO fixThe <div id="app"></div> shell has no children server-side. Hydration fills it client-side, but bots without JS see nothing. Enable SSR / SSG.
AISO fixRemove WAF/CDN rules that block OpenAI's GPTBot crawler and similar AI user agents.
AISO fixMake WHO you are unambiguous: Organization JSON-LD with sameAs links, agent-discovery files (llms.txt + .well-known manifests), structured contact + offer data so delegate agents can transact.
AISO fixAdd headings like '<Product> vs <Competitor>' to comparison content
AISO fixPublish a /faq page or link a help center from the homepage navigation.
AISO fixPublish /llms.txt at the site root with '# <Project>' + a short summary + H2 sections linking to canonical doc URLs.
AISO fixDeclare a PotentialAction (e.g., BuyAction, BookAction, OrderAction) with target endpoint + input schema so delegate agents know how to invoke the transaction.
AISO fixExpose a public API reference or OpenAPI document at /docs/api, /openapi.json, or an equivalent developer URL so agents can understand callable surfaces.
AISO fixAdd a /best-X-alternatives or /you-vs-competitor page
AISO fixAdd a TL;DR sentence or '<Brand> is a <category> that …' lead at the top
AISO fixOpen the homepage with '<Brand> is a <category> that <differentiator>' — this is the single biggest lever for AI citability.
AISO fixAdd FAQPage schema with 5-10 high-frequency questions for AI-search retrieval.
AISO fixAdd an HTML <table> with <th>feature</th>/<th>price</th> columns
AISO fixAdd a Person JSON-LD entry for founder/principal author with sameAs links.
AISO fixAdd a glossary page with 5+ defined terms
AISO fixDefine key terms explicitly: '**AI Agent** is a software program that...'
AISO fixAdd Pros/Cons sections to comparison and review pages
AISO fixAdd <script type='application/ld+json'> with @type:Organization including name, url, logo, and sameAs (≥3 social profiles).
AISO fixIncrease the sampled-page count to evaluate internal connectivity
AISO fixBold key statistics, definitions, and claims so AI can cite them
AISO fixWrap term/definition pairs in <dl><dt>term</dt><dd>def</dd></dl> markup
AISO fixPopulate `sameAs: [LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Wikipedia, ...]` on your Organization JSON-LD.
AISO fixAllowlist AI crawlers in robots.txt. Start with GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended.
AISO fixRemove agent-hostile signals: prompt-injection patterns, broken links, deceptive cloaking, robots conflicts. Agents discount hosts that look unsafe to act on.
AISO fixFix crawl access first: ensure 200 OK on homepage + sitemap, valid JSON-LD, llms.txt published, SSR-rendered content, and a non-blocking CSP. Without this layer agents can't read the site.
AISO fixPrioritize: Frequently Asked Questions about AI Agent Tooling; AI Agent Tooling Glossary: Key Terms Explained.
AISO fixAllowlist these UAs at your CDN (Cloudflare WAF rules / Akamai Bot Manager / fastly). Cloudflare's 'Verified Bots' toggle covers most of these but ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot frequently need explicit rules. Check robots.txt too.
AISO fixSet both `ratingValue` and `reviewCount` on AggregateRating. Without them the schema renders as a hollow node and LLMs ignore it.
AISO fixAdd /.well-known/ai.txt with your AI/agent policy in RFC9116-style key:value lines or short markdown.
AISO fixPublish an About page listing founders, team, and credentials. AI engines heavily weight provenance.
AISO fixPublish /ai/summary.json with name, description, founded, services[], contact, and brand_assets so agents skip HTML scraping.
AISO fixAdd an `audience` property (or Audience node) to your Organization/Service JSON-LD with `audienceType` (e.g. 'Developers', 'Marketers'). LLMs answering 'who is X for?' use this directly.
AISO fixDocument the skills, actions, tools, or capabilities agents can use. Include names, input schemas, output shapes, auth requirements, and whether each action is read-only or writes data.
AISO fixOpen with 'We are ...' / 'Our mission is ...' / 'This is ...' — AI models need explicit entity framing.
AISO fixAdd a ContactPoint node with telephone or email, ideally including contactType. Agents fall back to noisy prose extraction without this.
AISO fixAdd <time datetime='YYYY-MM-DD'>Updated ...</time> or article:modified_time meta, or expose dateModified in Article JSON-LD.
AISO fixPublish an MCP endpoint or setup guide, then link it from the homepage or llms.txt. Agents should be able to discover tool access without reading human-only docs.
AISO fixConcrete claims (percentages, customer counts, dates, comparative superlatives) drive trust + LLM citation likelihood. Add specific stats with sources.
AISO fixPitch trade press, publish a launch / milestone post, or apply to industry awards so GDELT picks up coverage.
AISO fixAdd a PostalAddress node (or address property on Organization) with addressLocality + addressRegion/Country so delegate agents can geo-resolve the business.
AISO fixAim for 134-167 words per h2-bounded section — zubair's empirical citability optimum. Long sections get truncated; short ones don't carry enough signal.
AISO fixAdd 'according to', 'source:', or numeric footnote references. LLMs cite content that points at primary sources.
AISO fixRestructure paragraphs to 30-120 words each. RAG retrievers favour self-contained spans of this size.
AISO fixAdd statistical claims to drive AI-citation rate +30-40% (Aggarwal Princeton GEO 2024).
AISO fixAdd page-family schema for WebSite, FAQPage. Strong JSON-LD should match the page type, not just include generic Organization markup.
AISO fixAim for 3-11 words of context-bearing description per non-decorative image.
AISO fixAllowlist these UAs at your CDN (Cloudflare WAF rules / Akamai Bot Manager / fastly). Cloudflare's 'Verified Bots' toggle covers most of these but ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot frequently need explicit rules. Check robots.txt too.
AISO fixAdd explicit entity surfaces: about or company page, team or founder page, pricing page, docs or API page.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive chatgpt citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive claude citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive google_ai citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixAdd an explicit '<h2>FAQ</h2>' or 'Frequently Asked Questions' section with at least 3 items.
AISO fixAdd ItemList JSON-LD schema to comparison pages
AISO fixAdd more question-shaped h2/h3 headings — they map directly to LLM-extracted Q→A pairs.
AISO fixUse the same capitalised terminology in H2/H3 headings across pages
AISO fixOptional: publish /.well-known/agent.json (A2A or MCP manifest) so agent runtimes can discover capabilities.
AISO fixPublish /ai/faq.json as { faqs: [{ question, answer, source_url }] } so agents can cite your answers verbatim.
AISO fixPublish /ai/service.json as a schema.org Service object describing what you sell, area served, and provider.
AISO fixAdd CLI install/use docs when your product can be operated from CI, terminals, or coding agents. Include copy-paste commands and JSON output examples.
AISO fixIf your business has operating hours, declare openingHoursSpecification so agents only attempt transactions during open windows.
AISO fixDeclare paymentAccepted on your Offer/Service so payment-capable agents can confirm method compatibility before initiating a transaction.
AISO fixIf the service supports temporary agent visits, publish a Portal manifest at /portal with tool metadata and a call endpoint, then link it from docs and llms.txt.
AISO fixAdd `serviceType` (e.g. 'AI search optimization') or `suitableForBusinessFunction` to your Service/Product node so LLMs categorise the offering correctly.
AISO fixIf the site supports browser-native agent access, publish a WebMCP endpoint or discovery document and link it from developer docs and llms.txt.
AISO fixIf you intend to expose agentic surfaces, publish a WebMCP manifest at `/.well-known/webmcp.json` with version + entrypoint + tools list.
AISO fixIf paid agent/API access is supported, document x402 payment flow, supported networks/tokens, payment headers, and facilitator behavior.
AISO fixAdd 'founder': [{ @type: Person, name: ... }] to the Organization schema.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive perplexity citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixIf you launch localised variants (e.g. /es, /de, fr.example.com), add `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="...">` tags pointing at each variant plus `x-default`.
AISO fixAdd concrete numbers, dates, and named entities. LLMs cite specifics — '47% of teams use X' beats 'many teams use X'.
AISO fixRun Template Audit, Full Site, or Deep Investigation mode to compare key templates across the site.
AISO fixPages about prices, versions, launches, or changing data should expose a clear last-updated date and refresh cadence.
Deterministic extraction from stored page context: identity, offers, actions, files, trust, and evidence.
No grounded description found.
No structured offer or price evidence found.
No booking, buying, contact, quote, or API path found.
No llms.txt, agents.json, mcp.json, x402.json, profile.json, or offers.json found.
Agents need a stable name, category, and short description before they can explain the page.
Agents cannot recommend, compare, or transact without a grounded offer or price.
Agents need explicit next actions instead of guessing how to engage.
Files such as llms.txt, agents.json, mcp.json, profile.json, and offers.json make the site directly readable.
Paste these into the public agent files your site is missing, then rescan.
