How AI sees it: invisible · preview · 26 critical issues blocking AI agents.
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 "Skills is a [category] for [audience]" for clean LLM resolution.
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 fixWrap the FAQ with a FAQPage JSON-LD block so AI engines can lift the Q/A pairs verbatim.
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 /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 fixAdd a /best-X-alternatives or /you-vs-competitor page
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 an Offer, Product, or Service JSON-LD node with `price` and `availability` so agents can quote and check stock without scraping prose.
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 Review and/or AggregateRating JSON-LD with reviewer + ratingValue + datePublished. LLMs cite review summaries when ranking peers in comparison answers.
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 fixWrap term/definition pairs in <dl><dt>term</dt><dd>def</dd></dl> markup
AISO fixscript-src 'self' 'strict-dynamic' 'nonce-<random>'; (drop 'unsafe-inline')
AISO fixEvery % / 'X customers' / stat deserves an inline citation link to the origin study or publication.
AISO fixComparative pages can over-index on the competitor name. Rebalance copy so your own brand is the dominant entity per section.
AISO fixBreak paragraphs above 400 words with subheadings, lists, or bolded facts
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 fixEnsure all page content is contained by landmarks See https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.11/region?application=axeAPI
AISO fiximg-src 'self' https://trusted.example; (replace wildcards with explicit hosts)
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 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 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 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 fixAdd a ContactPoint node with telephone or email, ideally including contactType. Agents fall back to noisy prose extraction without this.
AISO fixAdd a TL;DR sentence or '<Brand> is a <category> that …' lead at the top
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 fixAdd <time datetime='YYYY-MM-DD'>Updated ...</time> or article:modified_time meta, or expose dateModified in Article JSON-LD.
AISO fixAdd a PostalAddress node (or address property on Organization) with addressLocality + addressRegion/Country so delegate agents can geo-resolve the business.
AISO fixobject-src 'none';
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 fixRestructure paragraphs to 30-120 words each. RAG retrievers favour self-contained spans of this size.
AISO fixAdd 'according to', 'source:', or numeric footnote references. LLMs cite content that points at primary sources.
AISO fixDelay or remove modal and overlay patterns on indexable pages, especially above-the-fold newsletter or signup gates.
AISO fixRemove agent-hostile signals: prompt-injection patterns, broken links, deceptive cloaking, robots conflicts. Agents discount hosts that look unsafe to act on.
AISO fixUse exactly one H1, ensure the first H2 precedes any H3, and give every H2 a clear topic label (3+ words).
AISO fixstyle-src 'self' 'nonce-<random>'; (drop 'unsafe-inline')
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 fixAim for 3-11 words of context-bearing description per non-decorative image.
AISO fixAdd explicit entity surfaces: about or company page, team or founder page, pricing page, docs or API page.
AISO fixLong sentences degrade embedding quality. Tighten sentences to ≤ 25 words for clean chunk embeddings.
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 `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 fixUse the same capitalised terminology in H2/H3 headings across pages
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 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 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 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 fixConfigure TINYFISH_API_KEY and BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY to cross-check rendered fetchability and search-index visibility.
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 fixInternal error: timeout: scanner 'entity' exceeded 1ms. Other dimensions still produced scores.
AISO fixTry rescanning after the cache expires, or check SHERLOCK_API_KEY validity in server logs.
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 fixProvide social_links in ScanContext.agntBridge so the bridge can call this lane.
AISO fixRun Template Audit, Full Site, or Deep Investigation mode to compare key templates across the site.
AISO fixupgrade-insecure-requests;
AISO fixPages about prices, versions, launches, or changing data should expose a clear last-updated date and refresh cadence.
AISO fixAdd page-family schema for TechArticle/Article, BreadcrumbList. Strong JSON-LD should match the page type, not just include generic Organization markup.
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.
