AI readability site audit

Why AI readability is its own problem

AI crawlers are less forgiving than Googlebot: many don't execute JavaScript, give up faster, and quote only what's plainly in the HTML. A page that ranks fine in classic search can still be invisible to answer engines — client-rendered content, blocked bots, or key claims buried in interactive components all read as empty pages to a retriever.

What the audit checks

• Reachability — can crawlers actually fetch your key pages: status codes, redirects, robots rules, response times.
• Content structure — headings that match questions, answer-first sections, liftable claims versus walls of prose.
• Metadata and structured data — titles, descriptions, and the schema that helps engines classify your pages.
• Citability — whether pages state the direct, specific facts an engine can quote (citation mechanics).

Audits run at a configurable depth and page budget, and results are scored so the highest-impact fixes surface first.

From audit to opportunities

Findings feed the Opportunities queue: each issue becomes an actionable item — fix this page, add this section, unblock this path — and pairs with content generation when the fix is new content rather than a repair.
