The 8 Health Categories

Every audit scores your business across 8 categories, each rated Healthy 🟢, Attention Needed 🟠, or Critical 🔴.

1. AI Crawl Access 🤖

Can AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) actually reach your site? This is checked directly against your robots.txt and whether you have an llms.txt file. Fix tools: Crawler Unblock Wizard, LLMs.txt Generator.

2. Structured Data 📋

Do you have Organization, FAQ, and other Schema.org markup AI can read directly, instead of having to interpret raw page text? Fix tools: FAQ Schema Generator, Organization Schema Builder.

3. AI Accuracy 🎯

When AI is asked "what does [you] cost?" or "what does [you] do?", is it right? This is tested with real questions during your audit. Fix tool: Pricing Clarity Builder.

4. Competitive Positioning 🏆

When someone asks AI to compare you to a competitor, or for "top tools in [category]", do you show up — and fairly? Fix tool: Comparison Page Builder.

5. Content Structure 📄

Does your site clearly explain who you're for, what problems you solve, and back it up with real customer proof? Fix tools: Use Case Page Generator, Customer Proof Organiser, Documentation Gap Finder.

6. Content Freshness 🔄

Does your site show signs of being actively maintained — a recent changelog, updated pages — or does it look abandoned? Fix tool: Changelog Builder.

7. Review Visibility ⭐

Do you have real, recent reviews on Google, G2, and other platforms? AI increasingly treats reviews as a trust signal when deciding who to recommend. Fix tool: Review Visibility Builder.

8. Answer Citability 💬

Does your homepage have clean, self-contained passages AI can quote directly as an answer? This is a heuristic signal (right length, doesn't depend on the sentence before it), not a guarantee of what any specific AI model will extract — but a real, useful proxy for how quotable your content is. Fix tool: Answer Block Builder.
