Readiness Report

1/11 checks passed

How discoverable, citable and AI-ready this page is for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and other answer engines. Mirrors the AEO score shown inside the WP AEO plugin's post editor.

• AI Summary 0/15 pts

  Fix: Add a meta description (50+ chars) or a clear opening paragraph.

  Why it matters: Detects an AI-readable opening — a meta description (50+ chars) or the first paragraph after the H1. Answer engines lift this verbatim as the citation snippet, so a clean 2–3 sentence summary drives roughly 2.8× more AI citations.

• FAQ / Questions Answered 0/15 pts

  Fix: Add FAQPage schema markup with at least 2 question/answer pairs.

  Why it matters: Detects FAQPage JSON-LD schema with at least two question/answer pairs. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews quote Q&A blocks verbatim — sites with FAQPage structured data see ~43% more AI visibility.

• Key Takeaways 0/12 pts

  Fix: Add ItemList schema with key takeaways. AI engines extract these as atomic facts.

  Why it matters: Detects ItemList JSON-LD schema with key takeaways. AI engines extract these as atomic, citable facts; pages with 15+ entities/takeaways get up to a 4.8× citation boost.

• Expertise & Authority 0/8 pts

  Fix: Add author information with credentials (E-E-A-T signals).

  Why it matters: E-E-A-T signals: schema.org/author, rel="author" link, or any author byline element. 96% of AI-cited content includes clear expertise/authorship signals.

• Topics & Entities 0/8 pts

  Fix: Add at least 2 topics in schema "keywords" or <meta name="keywords">.

  Why it matters: Counts comma-separated terms in schema "keywords" or <meta name="keywords">. Two or more topics gives knowledge-graph context — entity-rich pages rank ~3.2× higher in AI retrieval.

• Content Type 0/7 pts

  Fix: Add Article (or NewsArticle / BlogPosting) JSON-LD schema.

  Why it matters: Detects Article / NewsArticle / BlogPosting JSON-LD schema. Stacking three schema types (Article + FAQ + ItemList) drives ~1.8× more AI citations than a single schema.

• Citation Instruction 0/7 pts

  Fix: Add citation metadata so AI engines know how to attribute your content.

  Why it matters: Detects citation, license or isBasedOn fields in schema, or <meta name="citation_*"> tags. Pages with explicit attribution guidance are ~2.1× more likely to be cited with a source link.

• Content Length (300+ words) 0/3 pts

  Fix: Page has 12 words. Aim for 300+ for better AI indexing.

  Why it matters: Counts visible words on the rendered page. Below 300 words AI engines lack enough context to summarize confidently — this is the AEO-side check (3 pts); the SEO group has its own 5-pt version.

• Semantic Completeness 0/10 pts

  Fix: Use 3+ subheadings with varied levels, 600+ words, and multiple schema types.

  Why it matters: Composite of three sub-signals: heading depth (3+ headings spanning ≥2 levels), body depth (≥600 words), and schema variety (≥4 types). Mirrors how LLMs assess whether a page covers a topic exhaustively — needs at least 8/10 to pass.

• Content Freshness 4/8 pts

  Fix: No publication date found. Add datePublished/dateModified to schema.

  Why it matters: Reads dateModified / datePublished from schema. Full points within 30 days, partial up to 90, decaying after 180. Roughly half of all AI citations come from content under 90 days old.

• Multi-Modal Content 5/7 pts

  Why it matters: Counts content modalities present: images, video/iframes, tables and lists. At least two are needed to pass — multi-modal pages get up to +156% more AI citations.

2/7 checks passed

Classic on-page SEO signals — meta tag quality, content structure, images, links, and readability. Mirrors the SEO score from the WP AEO plugin, minus the 6 focus-keyword checks the public scanner can't validate without an author-set keyword (install the plugin to score those too).

• SEO Title Length 5/10 pts

  Fix: 6 chars — aim for 50-60.

  Why it matters: The <title> tag should be 30–70 characters. The 50–60 sweet spot avoids truncation in Google and Bing SERPs.

• Description Length 0/10 pts

  Fix: 16 chars — aim for 120-160.

  Why it matters: Meta description should be 100–170 characters. Below 100 it gets ignored by Google; above 170 it gets truncated mid-sentence.

• Content Length (300+ words) 0/3 pts

  Fix: 12 words — aim for 300+.

  Why it matters: Same 300+ word target as the AEO check, scored separately under SEO (5 pts here vs. 3 pts there). Below 300 words pages rarely rank for competitive queries.

• Images with Alt Text 5/5 pts

  Why it matters: Page must contain at least one <img> tag with a non-empty alt attribute. Alt text is required for image SEO and accessibility compliance.

• Internal/External Links 5/5 pts

  Why it matters: Page should contain at least one internal or external <a href> link. Links distribute authority and give crawlers new paths to follow.

• Heading Structure 0/5 pts

  Fix: Use H2/H3 to structure your content.

  Why it matters: At least two H2–H6 subheadings, so the document has a hierarchical structure crawlers can outline.

• Readability Score 0/10 pts

  Fix: Flesch score: -31. Aim for 60+ (8th grade level).

  Why it matters: Flesch Reading Ease ≥60 = full score; 50–59 partial; 30–49 minimal; below 30 fails. 60+ is plain English at roughly an 8th-grade reading level.
