Which specific checks failed?
Priority-1 and priority-2 failures — these are the checks that most affect SEO + AEO outcomes.
- Robots.txttechnical · priority 1
The robots.txt file was not found at /robots.txt. Without it, Google + Bing + Yandex crawl with default permissions, AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) may lack explicit policy, and AI training crawlers (GPTBot, CCBot, anthropic-ai, Bytespider) will assume permission to ingest your content silently. A missing robots.txt also means no Sitemap directive, so crawl-budget routing is suboptimal.
- Meta Descriptiononpage · priority 1
The meta description is missing. Google + Bing + Yandex will fabricate a SERP snippet from random page text — often ending mid-sentence or surfacing irrelevant content. ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity may quote the description verbatim as a citation snippet; without one, they fall back to less benefit-focused page text. Missing description = lost CTR even when ranking is unchanged.
- Content Lengthonpage · priority 1
Only 17 words were found on the page. This is extremely low for proper indexing. Pages with minimal text content (fewer than 100 words) are considered "thin content" by search engines and rank poorly.
- Thin Contentcontent · priority 1
The page contains almost no text (17 words). This is critically insufficient for search engine indexing. Text-to-HTML ratio: 23.7%. Such pages may be classified as doorway pages or empty shells and excluded from search results.
- HTML <head> completenessonpage · priority 1
3 essential head element(s) missing: Character encoding, Meta description, Canonical URL. 9 recommended head element(s) missing: Open Graph title, Open Graph description, Open Graph image, ....
- Canonical Tagtechnical · priority 2
The canonical tag is missing. Without <link rel="canonical">, Google + Bing + Yandex may index multiple URL variants of the same content (with/without trailing slash, with tracking parameters like ?utm_source=, http vs https) and split link equity across the duplicates. AI search engines (ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity) may also cite the wrong URL variant, fragmenting the citation graph for your content.
- XML Sitemaptechnical · priority 2
The sitemap.xml file was not found at /sitemap.xml. Without a sitemap, Google + Bing + Yandex must rely on internal-link discovery to find your pages — recently published or orphan content may not be indexed for weeks. AI search engines (ChatGPT search via OAI-SearchBot, Claude search, Perplexity) also crawl sitemap.xml to discover content, so missing sitemaps delay AI citation as well.
- HTTP Redirectstechnical · priority 2
HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect is not configured. Users accessing the site via the insecure protocol (http://) are not being redirected to the HTTPS version. WWW canonicalization is not configured. The site is accessible with both www and non-www addresses simultaneously, which leads to duplicate content issues for search engines.
What does a 60/100 score actually mean?
A score in the 60-80 range is solidly average. AI engines may cite example.net but inconsistently — the structural gaps (especially around schema, direct-answer format, and AI-bot accessibility) cost citation share.
Their AEO-specific (AI search readiness) score is 51/100. AEO lags overall — typical pattern. Sites optimize for Google SEO first, then realize AI search has different signals.
