Analysis Methodology

How our 167-point AIO analysis works

🔍 Our Approach

Our analysis tool programmatically checks your website against a comprehensive list of factors that are commonly associated with AI-friendly content. These factors are based on publicly available best practices and general principles of content optimization for AI systems.

Important: This is pattern recognition based on observation, not direct access to proprietary AI algorithms. Our recommendations are based on correlation studies, not guaranteed results.

📊 The 167-Point Checklist

Our comprehensive checklist covers 167 specific factors across 7 main categories. Each factor is weighted based on our research into its correlation with AI citation behavior.

🧠 AI Analysis Process

After our technical analysis, we use Google Gemini 2.5 Flash to provide contextual recommendations based on your specific content and industry. This AI analysis considers:

  • Content type and target audience
  • Industry-specific optimization opportunities
  • Competitive landscape considerations
  • Implementation complexity and priority ranking

⚠️ Limitations & Disclaimers

No Guarantees

We cannot guarantee that implementing our recommendations will result in AI citations. AI systems are complex and consider many factors beyond website optimization.

Research-Based Approach

Our recommendations are based on pattern analysis and correlation studies, not direct access to AI algorithms. Results may vary based on query context and AI model updates.

Evolving Field

AI systems are rapidly evolving. Our methodology is continuously updated based on new research and observations, but best practices may change as AI technology advances.

🔧 How Our Code Works

Our analysis tool performs the following automated checks:

  • HTML Parsing: We fetch and analyze your webpage's HTML structure using Cheerio
  • Content Analysis: We check paragraph lengths, heading structure, and readability metrics
  • Schema Detection: We scan for structured data markup (JSON-LD, microdata)
  • Technical SEO: We verify meta tags, robots.txt, and crawler accessibility
  • AI Processing: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash analyzes your content for personalized recommendations

Scoring Logic

Each factor is assigned points based on best practices:

  • Present = full points, Partial = reduced points, Missing = 0 points
  • Some factors are weighted more heavily based on their importance
  • Page type affects certain scoring weights (homepage vs article vs product)
  • Final score is calculated as: (earned points / total possible points) × 167
