How AI sees it: invisible · preview · 34 critical issues blocking AI agents.
AISO fixBreak paragraphs above 400 words with subheadings, lists, or bolded facts
AISO fixSend a Content-Security-Policy response header (or <meta http-equiv> tag) so directive strictness can be scored.
AISO fixMention the brand at least once like "Onyx is a [category] for [audience]" for clean LLM resolution.
AISO fixReturns HTTP 404. Update or remove this link.
AISO fixMaintain readable structure + recency: clear headings/lists for chunkability, recent updated-at dates, no stale fact decay, answer-extractable formatting (Q→A, def→explanation).
AISO fixCite at least one .edu/.gov, Wikipedia, IETF/W3C spec, or tier-1 publication near your flagship claims.
AISO fixAdd H2/H3 section breaks every ~500 words to scaffold the content
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 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 fixPublish a /faq page or link a help center from the homepage navigation.
AISO fixPublish a privacy policy at /privacy. Legal requirement in many jurisdictions; also a strong E-E-A-T trust signal.
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 fixPublish JSON-LD with Organization/Service nodes including `audience` and `aggregateRating` properties so LLMs can extract market-fit signals.
AISO fixStructured data (Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ, Article) is the strongest GEO signal — LLMs prefer schema-typed entities.
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 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 fixUse numbered and bullet lists to expose key facts
AISO fixBold key statistics, definitions, and claims so AI can cite them
AISO fixEvery % / 'X customers' / stat deserves an inline citation link to the origin study or publication.
AISO fixPrioritize: Frequently Asked Questions about AI Agent Tooling; AI Agent Tooling Glossary: Key Terms Explained.
AISO fixMissing: x-content-type-options, x-frame-options, content-security-policy, x-xss-protection, referrer-policy.
AISO fixExpand to ≥500 words organized under h2 subheadings (Mission, Team, History, Credentials).
AISO fixLift the lowest-scoring dimensions in `composite_inputs` first; citation-crawl and agent-readiness move the headline metric the most.
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 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 fixAdd /.well-known/ai.txt with your AI/agent policy in RFC9116-style key:value lines or short markdown.
AISO fixPublish /ai/summary.json with name, description, founded, services[], contact, and brand_assets so agents skip HTML scraping.
AISO fixAdd a 2–4 sentence paragraph immediately after the H1 summarising what the product is and who it serves.
AISO fixPublish an AGENTS.md at your repo or web root listing the skills, conventions, and tools agents should use when working with your codebase or service.
AISO fixOpen with 'We are ...' / 'Our mission is ...' / 'This is ...' — AI models need explicit entity framing.
AISO fixPublish at least one of /editorial-standards, /editorial-policy, /fact-checking, /corrections. LLM rankers down-weight content from sources without explicit editorial transparency.
AISO fixH1 is the strongest topical signal LLMs ingest from a page.
AISO fixAdd <time datetime='YYYY-MM-DD'>Updated ...</time> or article:modified_time meta, or expose dateModified in Article JSON-LD.
AISO fixRestructure paragraphs to 30-120 words each. RAG retrievers favour self-contained spans of this size.
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 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 fixCustom-built sites can still rank, but CMS detection lets agent fixes target the right platform.
AISO fixImprove the underlying dimensions that drive google_ai citations: crawlability, structure, schema, freshness, entity clarity, and trust.
AISO fixAdd `includeSubDomains` to the HSTS directive so subdomains inherit HTTPS-only behaviour.
AISO fixAdd `preload` to the HSTS directive and submit the domain to https://hstspreload.org/ to ship hard-coded HSTS to all major browsers.
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 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 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 fixOptional: add /llms-full.txt with the expanded content concatenated inline. Some tools prefer the full version.
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 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 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 fixSites without an archive history are weaker citation candidates for LLMs that prefer aged sources.
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 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 fixProvide business_name + area in ScanContext.agntBridge so the bridge can call this lane.
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.
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.
