3. Homepage Audit
- ⚠️ Missing meta description Add a

13. Recommended Fixes
⚠️ Fix broken homepage links We HEAD-probed the first 20 unique homepage links and found 4xx/5xx responses. Repair or remove them — broken links erode crawler trust.
⚠️ Fix mixed content An https page loading http assets is downgraded by browsers and AI crawlers. Update asset URLs or use protocol-relative paths.
⚠️ Raise your text-to-HTML ratio Strip unused inline scripts/styles and move large bundles to external files. AI crawlers struggle when most of the response is markup.
⚠️ Add a meta description 50–160 chars. Repeat your core value prop in plain language; this often becomes the AI snippet.
<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.
⚠️ Make your About/Team page reachable Add a top-nav or footer link to /about or /team so LLMs can identify the entity behind the site.
⚠️ Add a /pricing page Even contact-us pricing benefits from a /pricing page that LLMs can link to in answers.
⚠️ Add Organization JSON-LD Include name, url, logo, sameAs (your social profiles). LLMs use this to resolve your brand entity.
⚠️ Add lists or comparison tables Answer engines lift bulleted lists, numbered steps, and tables verbatim. Add at least 2 snippet-ready blocks to the homepage.
⚠️ Phrase a heading as a user question Use headings like 'How does pricing work?' or 'Who is this for?' — they map directly to conversational AI queries.
⚠️ Publish a date signal Add
<time datetime="2026-05-17">or<meta property="article:published_time">. AI ranking heavily weights freshness.⚠️ Set a meaningful
<title>30–60 chars. Lead with the brand or product, then the value prop.<title>CrawlProof — AEO audits for AI crawlers</title>⚠️ Complete Open Graph tags AI bots use OG for fast disambiguation. Add all four:
<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.
<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 alt text to all meaningful images Decorative-only images can use empty alt='', but logos, screenshots, and product images need descriptive alt.
⚠️ Add structured headings Use h2 for each section and h3 for sub-points. AI uses these to outline and chunk the page.
⚠️ Use modern image formats Serve WebP or AVIF for hero/above-the-fold images. Keep legacy PNG/JPG only as fallbacks.
⚠️ Allow PerplexityBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: PerplexityBot 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.
⚠️ Add /skill.md Describe what an agent can do with your site (e.g., 'Search docs', 'Look up pricing'). Useful for agentic flows.
⚠️ Set a Cache-Control header Add
Cache-Control: public, max-age=300, s-maxage=3600(or similar) so CDNs and AI crawlers can revalidate cheaply.⚠️ State your audience explicitly Use phrases like 'Built for B2B SaaS marketing teams' on the homepage and About page.
⚠️ Add Product / SoftwareApplication JSON-LD On /pricing and feature pages — include offers, name, applicationCategory.
⚠️ Add FAQPage JSON-LD Wrap your homepage FAQ in FAQPage JSON-LD; it routinely lifts AI answer inclusion.
⚠️ Add Article / BlogPosting JSON-LD On every blog/article page, include Article JSON-LD with headline, author, datePublished, dateModified. AI engines weight these heavily for freshness and authority.
⚠️ Add BreadcrumbList JSON-LD Helps AI engines understand site hierarchy and improves citation context.

⚠️ Add VideoObject JSON-LD For embedded videos, include VideoObject with thumbnailUrl, uploadDate, duration. AI engines cite these in multimedia answers.
⚠️ Add X-Frame-Options
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN(or CSPframe-ancestors) blocks clickjacking via iframe embeds.⚠️ Set a Referrer-Policy
Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-originis a safe default.⚠️ Set a Permissions-Policy Restrict browser features you don't use, e.g.
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=().
