Technical Issues

AI engines can't understand your businesscritical~10 min fix

Your site has no structured data — the machine-readable labels that tell AI what your business does, what you offer, and why you're an authority. Without this, AI assistants are much less likely to mention or recommend you.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Company Name",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "description": "Brief description of your business",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/yourhandle",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/yourcompany"
  ]
}
</script>
Add JSON-LD structured data so AI models understand your business entity and can cite you accurately.
No FAQ section foundwarning~15 min fix

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.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What does your company do?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "We provide [your service]. Our solution helps..."
    }
  }]
}
</script>
FAQPage schema labels questions and answers in a machine-readable format, making the page easier for search and AI systems to extract accurately.
AI doesn't know who you areinfo~10 min fix

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.

Quick Fix
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Company",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "logo": "https://yoursite.com/logo.png",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/yourhandle",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/yourcompany",
    "https://github.com/yourorg"
  ],
  "contactPoint": {
    "@type": "ContactPoint",
    "email": "hello@yoursite.com",
    "contactType": "customer service"
  }
}
</script>
Entity markup tells AI models who you are, making them more likely to cite your brand accurately.

# Apache (.htaccess):
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"

# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Content-Security-Policy', value: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'" }
Content-Security-Policy prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources the browser can load.

What This Score Means for You

Readiness gaps — This Technical Audit found barriers that can make your page harder for AI systems to access, understand, or reuse. It does not measure citations, recommendations, or answer-level visibility.

Security gaps — Missing security headers may flag your site as unsafe in browsers, hurting trust and conversions.

Most of these issues have simple, copy-paste fixes. Check the code snippets above for quick solutions.

Security score: 35/100

Most security issues are 5-minute fixes — adding HTTP headers to your server config. Check the code fixes above for the exact headers to add — we include copy-paste code for Nginx, Apache, Vercel, and Netlify.
