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>
AI models frequently cite FAQ content. Add FAQPage schema to boost your chances of appearing in AI-generated answers.
Page content is too thin for AIwarning

Your page has very few headings and paragraphs. AI assistants need well-organized, text-rich content to understand and recommend your site. Add clear headings, descriptive paragraphs, and detailed information about your offerings.

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.
Content is hard for AI to scaninfo

Your page relies on plain text without lists, tables, or comparison charts. AI assistants extract and cite structured content (bullet points, comparison tables, step-by-step lists) far more accurately than long paragraphs.
