## 3. Homepage Audit

- ❌ **Content volume: 39 words**
  Very thin content. AI models need substantive text to understand and recommend your site.
- ⚠️ **Missing meta description**
  Add a `<meta name="description">` to control the snippet AI/SERP show.
- ⚠️ **Short `<title>` (25 chars)**
  Aim for 30–60 chars. Lead with brand or product, then value prop.
- ⚠️ **Missing canonical link**
  Add `<link rel="canonical" href="https://your-domain">` to prevent dup-content confusion.
- ❌ **Open Graph: missing title, description, image**
- ⚠️ **No Twitter Card tags**
  Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image for richer previews in social and AI agent surfaces.
- ⚠️ **Heading structure: 1 (h1:1, h2:0, h3:0)**
  Few headings make it hard for AI to understand sectioning. Use h2/h3 to label each section.
- ⚠️ **Internal links: 2**
  Few internal links. Add a nav/footer with links to your key pages so AI crawlers can discover them.
- ✅ **Homepage fetched successfully**
  HTTP 200 · 924108 bytes · 466ms
- ✅ **Page load time: 0.47s**
  Fast — well within AI crawler budgets.
- ✅ **<html lang="en-US"> declared**
- ✅ **Single H1**
  Sign in
- ✅ **Critical content is server-rendered**
  Raw and rendered text are within 0% of each other.
- ✅ **Alt text coverage: 100%**
  1/1 images have alt text.

## 4. Schema / Structured Data Audit

- ❌ **No JSON-LD structured data found**
  Add JSON-LD blocks (Organization, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList) so AI answer engines can ingest your data without guessing.

## 5. robots.txt and sitemap.xml Audit

- ❌ **sitemap.xml not found**
  Add /sitemap.xml — required for reliable AI/SERP discovery.
- ⚠️ **robots.txt does not reference a Sitemap**
  Add `Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml` to robots.txt.
- ✅ **robots.txt present**
  153 chars

## 6. LLM / AI Crawler Accessibility

- ❌ **GPTBot blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for GPTBot overrides it.
- ❌ **ClaudeBot blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for ClaudeBot overrides it.
- ❌ **PerplexityBot blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for PerplexityBot overrides it.
- ❌ **Google-Extended blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for Google-Extended overrides it.
- ❌ **OAI-SearchBot blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for OAI-SearchBot overrides it.
- ❌ **Applebot-Extended blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for Applebot-Extended overrides it.
- ❌ **CCBot blocked via wildcard**
  User-agent: * is disallowed from / and no explicit rule for CCBot overrides it.
- ⚠️ **llms.txt missing**
  Add /llms.txt — a concise, link-rich summary that helps LLMs orient on your site.
- ⚠️ **skill.md missing**
  Add /skill.md describing what your site lets agents do — speeds up agent task routing.
- ⚠️ **/.well-known/security.txt missing**
  Publish a /.well-known/security.txt with at least a Contact: line. Crawlers and security researchers expect it; AI systems use it as a trust signal.

## 7. Positioning Clarity

- ⚠️ **H1 missing or too short to convey value**
  Sign in
- ⚠️ **No pricing/plans link found**
  AI summaries commonly include pricing. Add a /pricing page even if pricing is custom.
- ⚠️ **Value-prop language not detected**
  Pages with phrases like 'we help X', 'platform for Y', 'built for Z' are easier for LLMs to summarize.
- ✅ **About/Team path discoverable**
- ✅ **Contact / signup path discoverable**

## 8. Missing or Hard-to-Find Information

- ❌ **11 data point(s) could not be found from public pages**
  · Pricing
  · Customer logos
  · Social proof
  · Recent launches
  · Blog post activity
  · New hires
  · Positioning
  · Executive team
  · Product/service descriptions
  · Case studies or testimonials
  · Contact/demo/signup paths

## 9. Recommended Fixes

- ⚠️ **Add more substantive homepage content**
  AI models need 300+ words of visible body text to summarize and recommend a site. Add a value-prop paragraph, a short FAQ, and a 'how it works' section.
- ⚠️ **Allow GPTBot in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: GPTBot
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow ClaudeBot in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: ClaudeBot
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow PerplexityBot in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: PerplexityBot
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow Google-Extended in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: Google-Extended
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: OAI-SearchBot
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow Applebot-Extended in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: Applebot-Extended
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Allow CCBot in robots.txt**
  Add an explicit
    User-agent: CCBot
    Allow: /
  block so this AI crawler can read your site.
- ⚠️ **Rewrite the homepage H1 to be self-evident**
  Replace clever copy with literal copy. 'We help X do Y' beats 'Reimagine Y'.
- ⚠️ **Publish a sitemap.xml**
  Generate /sitemap.xml automatically (Next.js: app/sitemap.ts). Include every canonical URL.
- ⚠️ **Add JSON-LD structured data**
  Start with Organization on the root layout and SoftwareApplication or Product on /pricing. Add FAQPage on any FAQ section.
- ⚠️ **Add a meta description**
  50–160 chars. Repeat your core value prop in plain language; this often becomes the AI snippet.
  
  ```html
  <meta name="description" content="CrawlProof shows you exactly how AI crawlers see your site, then tells you what to fix." />
  ```
- ⚠️ **Add /llms.txt**
  A short Markdown-flavored summary at the root. Include your H1, value prop, top 5–10 links, and pricing summary.
- ⚠️ **Add a /pricing page**
  Even contact-us pricing benefits from a /pricing page that LLMs can link to in answers.
- ⚠️ **Set a meaningful `<title>`**
  30–60 chars. Lead with the brand or product, then the value prop.
  
  ```html
  <title>CrawlProof — AEO audits for AI crawlers</title>
  ```
- ⚠️ **Add a canonical link**
  Prevents dup-content drift and tells AI crawlers which URL is authoritative.
  
  ```html
  <link rel="canonical" href="https://yoursite.com/" />
  ```
- ⚠️ **Complete Open Graph tags**
  AI bots use OG for fast disambiguation. Add all four:
  
  ```html
  <meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title" />
  <meta property="og:description" content="50–160 char description of this page." />
  <meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />
  <meta property="og:url" content="https://yoursite.com/" />
  <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
  <meta property="og:site_name" content="YourSite" />
  ```
- ⚠️ **Add Twitter Card meta tags**
  Used by social platforms and AI agents for richer previews.
  
  ```html
  <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
  <meta name="twitter:title" content="Your Page Title" />
  <meta name="twitter:description" content="50–160 char description." />
  <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />
  ```
- ⚠️ **Add structured headings**
  Use h2 for each section and h3 for sub-points. AI uses these to outline and chunk the page.
- ⚠️ **Add internal navigation links**
  Top nav + footer with links to /pricing, /docs, /about, /contact gives AI crawlers an entry point to the rest of the site.
- ⚠️ **Add /skill.md**
  Describe what an agent can do with your site (e.g., 'Search docs', 'Look up pricing'). Useful for agentic flows.
- ⚠️ **Publish /.well-known/security.txt**
  A security contact builds trust with crawlers and researchers. Minimal example:
  
  ```
  Contact: mailto:security@yourdomain.com
  Expires: 2027-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
  Preferred-Languages: en
  ```
- ⚠️ **State your audience explicitly**
  Use phrases like 'Built for B2B SaaS marketing teams' on the homepage and About page.
- ⚠️ **Reference your sitemap in robots.txt**
  Add `Sitemap: https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml` so crawlers don't have to guess.
