Below: full diagnostic, copy-paste fixes, and a prioritized action plan to lift your AI citation rate.
Brand returns no relevant context
Domain cited once, with outdated info
Excluded from generative results
No entity match in training data
Cited only for branded queries
AI engines rely on schema markup to understand your content. Without it, your pages are invisible to knowledge graph extraction.
Add Article, FAQPage, and Organization schema to your homepage and blog posts. Drop this JSON-LD into your <head>:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Your Company",
"url": "https://yourdomain.com",
"logo": "https://yourdomain.com/logo.png",
"sameAs": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourcompany",
"https://twitter.com/yourcompany"
]
}
</script>No author bylines, credentials, or About page detected. AI models deprioritize content without verifiable expertise signals.
Add author bio pages with LinkedIn URLs, credentials, and publication dates to all articles. Google and ChatGPT use authorship as a trust proxy.
ChatGPT and Perplexity cite pages that directly answer user queries. Your content has no question-format headings.
Add a FAQ section to your top 5 pages answering the exact questions your customers type into ChatGPT. Start with: "What does [company] do?" and "Who is [company] best for?"
Your brand has no presence in major knowledge graphs. AI models heavily weight entities that exist in Wikidata.
Create a Wikidata entry for your brand. This alone can increase citation rate by ~30%. Include founding year, headquarters, key people, and at least 3 reliable external sources.
Your homepage has 340 words. AI engines prefer 800+ words with clear headers, definitions, and examples.
Expand with a 'How it works' section (4 steps, 80 words each) and a 'Who it's for' section (3 personas, 60 words each). Use H2 headers for each block.
Without a verifiable About page, AI engines can't validate your entity. Trust signals are missing.
Create a dedicated About page with: founding year, team names, company registration number, physical address, and press mentions. AI engines verify entities against these signals.
Multimodal AI engines like Gemini use image context to build topic understanding. 12 of 18 images lack alt text.
Add descriptive alt text to all images. Describe the subject, action, and context — not just keywords. Example: 'Senior data analyst reviewing GEO score dashboard on a laptop'.
Each step below applies one real fix from your playbook in order of impact. No estimates — the lift comes directly from the issues found on your page.
Each step applies one fix from the playbook (impact in points). Order = highest-impact first.
