How AI sees it: invisible · preview · 40 critical issues blocking AI agents.
AISO fixMake /.well-known/agent.json valid JSON. Validate locally with `jq . < agent.json` and ensure your CDN serves it as application/json.
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 "Hello-agents is a [category] for [audience]" for clean LLM resolution.
AISO fixAdd H2/H3 section breaks every ~500 words to scaffold the content
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 fixAdd 2–3 outbound links to .edu/.gov, Wikipedia, or major publications to back your strongest claims.
AISO fixAI crawlers don't run JavaScript. Server-render or pre-render content so the initial HTML response contains real text. Confirm with `curl -A 'GPTBot/1.0' <url>`.
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 fixStart llms.txt with '# <Project name>' as the H1 — per llmstxt.org this is the only required field.
AISO fixMost claims lack inline sources within 200 chars. LLMs heavily discount uncited statistics. Add anchor links to primary sources, "according to" attributions, or numeric footnote refs.
AISO fixSend `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload` to force browsers to use HTTPS for the configured duration. Submit the domain to https://hstspreload.org/ once the header is stable.
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 fixAdd h2-headed sections with 134-167 words of factual content each. Empty marketing pages give LLMs nothing to cite.
AISO fixSend `X-Frame-Options: DENY` (or `SAMEORIGIN`) OR include `frame-ancestors 'none'` (or a hostname allowlist) in your CSP. Without either, the site can be iframed and clickjacked.
AISO fixWrap term/definition pairs in <dl><dt>term</dt><dd>def</dd></dl> markup
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 a FAQ block with ≥5 question/answer pairs using <details>/<summary> or <h3>+<p> patterns. Also mark it up with FAQPage JSON-LD.
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 fixBuild at least a basic navigation menu linking the homepage to product, pricing, and content pages. Without internal links, AI crawlers can't traverse the site.
AISO fixPublish JSON-LD with Organization/Service nodes including `audience` and `aggregateRating` properties so LLMs can extract market-fit signals.
AISO fixPublish JSON-LD blocks (`<script type="application/ld+json">`) describing your offer/service, address, and contact methods. Without structured data, delegate agents can't transact on your behalf.
AISO fixPublish Organization JSON-LD with name + url + sameAs for entity association.
AISO fixAdd Pros/Cons sections to comparison and review pages
AISO fixRAG retrievers index paragraph spans. A landing page with only headings + buttons gives nothing for an LLM to cite — add 2-4 short paragraphs explaining what you do.
AISO fixAdd an explicit '<h2>FAQ</h2>' or 'Frequently Asked Questions' section with at least 3 items.
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 fixUse numbered and bullet lists to expose key facts
AISO fixThe homepage returned only 2 visible words inside a vue app shell. Switch to SSR (Next.js App Router, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix) or pre-render with a static export so crawlers receive content in the initial HTML.
AISO fixEvery % / 'X customers' / stat deserves an inline citation link to the origin study or publication.
AISO fixValidate the response from your manifest URL. The body must parse as JSON. Re-serve with `Content-Type: application/json`.
AISO fixComparative pages can over-index on the competitor name. Rebalance copy so your own brand is the dominant entity per section.
AISO fixAim for 5-10 explicit brand mentions in body copy. Helps LLMs build a clean entity-page association during indexing.
AISO fixReturn valid JSON at /.well-known/agent.json describing your agent or MCP capabilities.
AISO fixReturn valid JSON at /ai/faq.json with a faqs array of {question, answer, source_url} objects.
AISO fixReturn valid JSON at /ai/service.json shaped like a schema.org Service (@type, name, provider).
AISO fixReturn valid JSON at /ai/summary.json with at least name and description fields. Validate with a JSON linter.
AISO fixPrioritize: Frequently Asked Questions about AI Agent Tooling; AI Agent Tooling Glossary: Key Terms Explained.
AISO fixExpand to ≥500 words organized under h2 subheadings (Mission, Team, History, Credentials).
AISO fixUse exactly one H1, ensure the first H2 precedes any H3, and give every H2 a clear topic label (3+ words).
AISO fixSurface at least 2 contact channels on the homepage: a visible phone number, physical address, contact <form>, or mailto: link. AI rankers correlate contact accessibility with trustworthiness.
AISO fixSend `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` to balance analytics utility with privacy. Without it browsers fall back to a permissive default that leaks full URLs across origins.
AISO fixSend `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` so browsers won't MIME-sniff responses and execute disguised resources.
AISO fixPublish an About page listing founders, team, and credentials. AI engines heavily weight provenance.
AISO fixAdd a 2–4 sentence paragraph immediately after the H1 summarising what the product is and who it serves.
AISO fixPublish /.well-known/agent.json with name, description, endpoints, skills, and auth metadata so agents can discover callable surfaces.
AISO fixOpen with 'We are ...' / 'Our mission is ...' / 'This is ...' — AI models need explicit entity framing.
AISO fixPublish /.well-known/mcp.json pointing to your MCP server or setup instructions so agent clients can discover tools without scraping docs.
AISO fixRemove agent-hostile signals: prompt-injection patterns, broken links, deceptive cloaking, robots conflicts. Agents discount hosts that look unsafe to act on.
AISO fixAdd statistical claims to drive AI-citation rate +30-40% (Aggarwal Princeton GEO 2024).
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 fixEnsure <meta name="viewport"> does not disable text scaling and zooming See https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.11/meta-viewport?application=axeAPI
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 fixAdd a unique <title>, meta description, and canonical URL. Add Open Graph/Twitter tags for share and citation previews.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive google_ai citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixAdd ItemList JSON-LD schema to comparison pages
AISO fixAdopt and reuse a small vocabulary of capitalised brand terms
AISO fixSend `Permissions-Policy` (formerly Feature-Policy) explicitly declaring which browser features (camera, microphone, geolocation, payment, …) the site uses. Default-deny posture: `camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()`.
AISO fixAdd author / contributor profile pages and link them from the homepage (e.g. <a href="/author/jane">). LLMs use these to ground claims to a named expert.
AISO fixPublish /.well-known/agent-twin with brand handle, capabilities, links, and payment/discovery hints for AISO-compatible agents.
AISO fixIf the homepage surfaces editorial content, include an author byline (Person JSON-LD or 'By <Name>').
AISO fixAdd a Person JSON-LD block with `name` and `jobTitle` for the founder / editor-in-chief / lead author. Anchors authorship to a named human, which LLMs use for credibility ranking.
AISO fixAdd links to Wikipedia, LinkedIn company page, YouTube channel, or GitHub org so AI engines can cross-reference authority.
AISO fixConfigure TINYFISH_API_KEY and BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY to cross-check rendered fetchability and search-index visibility.
AISO fixAdd 'founder': [{ @type: Person, name: ... }] to the Organization schema.
AISO fixWe will retry on the next scan. No action needed on your side.
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 fixRun Template Audit, Full Site, or Deep Investigation mode to compare key templates across the site.
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.
