AI Readiness
Technical and authority signals that support AI systems in accessing, understanding, and reusing your content
Technical Issues
You have basic structured data, but it's missing the rich types that AI engines look for — like FAQ sections, how-to guides, or product info. Adding these helps AI assistants extract and cite your content more accurately.
AI assistants love Q&A content — it's the easiest format for them to extract and quote. Add a Frequently Asked Questions section to your page, and you'll significantly increase your chances of being cited in AI-generated answers.

"name": "What does your company do?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "We provide [your service]. Our solution helps..."
}
}]
}
</script>Your site is missing identity markup that tells AI engines "we are [Company X], and here's what we do." Adding this helps AI assistants recognize your brand as an authority and recommend you by name.
