## 3. Homepage Audit

- ❌ **Missing H1**
  No `<h1>` element found. LLMs use the H1 as the strongest signal of what the page is about.
- ❌ **Missing `<title>`**
  The `<title>` tag is required for search and answer engines.
- ❌ **Content volume: 0 words**
  Very thin content. AI models need substantive text to understand and recommend your site.
- ⚠️ **Page load time: 2.91s**
  Acceptable — consider optimizing for faster crawl times.
- ⚠️ **Short meta description (39 chars)**
  Aim for 50–160 chars. Restate your value prop in plain language.
- ⚠️ **Missing canonical link**
  Add `<link rel="canonical" href="https://your-domain">` to prevent dup-content confusion.
- ⚠️ **No Twitter Card tags**
  Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image for richer previews in social and AI agent surfaces.
- ❌ **Heading structure: 0 (h1:0, h2:0, h3:0)**
  Few headings make it hard for AI to understand sectioning. Use h2/h3 to label each section.
- ❌ **Internal links: 0**
  Few internal links. Add a nav/footer with links to your key pages so AI crawlers can discover them.
- ✅ **Homepage fetched successfully**
  HTTP 200 · 3586 bytes · 2914ms

## 13. Recommended Fixes

- ⚠️ **Add a single, focused H1 to the homepage**
  One `<h1>` per page. Write it as 'We help [audience] [do thing].' so an LLM can quote it verbatim.
- ⚠️ **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 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 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'.
- ⚠️ **Add a discoverable CTA**
  Place 'Contact sales' or 'Start free' in the top-right of the nav. LLMs cite the visible label.
- ⚠️ **Publish a sitemap.xml**
  Generate /sitemap.xml automatically (Next.js: app/sitemap.ts). Include every canonical URL.
- ⚠️ **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.
- ⚠️ **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 /llms.txt**
  A short Markdown-flavored summary at the root. Include your H1, value prop, top 5–10 links, and pricing summary.
- ⚠️ **Reduce response time**
  Push static HTML to a CDN edge cache. If you must server-render per-request, profile DB/template work and add `Cache-Control: s-maxage=…`.
- ⚠️ **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.
- ⚠️ **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.
- ⚠️ **Speed up homepage rendering**
  AI crawlers commonly time out around 3s. Cache the HTML, ship less JS for the first paint, and pre-render the hero section server-side.
- ⚠️ **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 a canonical link**
  Prevents dup-content drift and tells AI crawlers which URL is authoritative.
  
  ```html
  <link rel="canonical" href="https://yoursite.com/" />
  ```
- ⚠️ **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.
- ⚠️ **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 Product / SoftwareApplication JSON-LD**
  On /pricing and feature pages — include offers, name, applicationCategory.
- ⚠️ **Declare an author byline**
  Add `<meta name="author" content="Name">` or a visible byline with `rel="author"`. Combine with Person JSON-LD for E-E-A-T.
- ⚠️ **Add LocalBusiness JSON-LD (if you have a physical location)**
  Include address, geo, openingHours, telephone. Required for AI engines to surface you in 'near me' queries.
- ⚠️ **Add Person JSON-LD for authors / founders**
  Mark up bylines and founder bios with Person schema — name, jobTitle, sameAs (their profiles). Strengthens E-E-A-T.
- ⚠️ **Add HowTo JSON-LD for step-by-step content**
  For any 'how to' page, wrap the steps in HowTo JSON-LD. AI step-by-step answers cite these heavily.
- ⚠️ **Add VideoObject JSON-LD**
  For embedded videos, include VideoObject with thumbnailUrl, uploadDate, duration. AI engines cite these in multimedia answers.
- ⚠️ **Set a Referrer-Policy**
  `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin` is a safe default.
- ⚠️ **Set a Permissions-Policy**
  Restrict browser features you don't use, e.g. `Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()`.
