Low awareness mode

ChatGPT doesn't know you yet — here are 5 pages to publish.

This path skips competitor evidence and focuses on giving AI engines enough source material to recognize the brand.

  1. 1. Canonical product definition page with a 25-50 word description.
  2. 2. Best your category for your target buyer page.
  3. 3. top competitor alternatives page
  4. 4. Pricing or plan comparison page with a real table.
  5. 5. Third-party directory/list placements that cite your category.

Top fixes

Highest-impact issues first, ranked by severity.

  • Quotable product definition near topFailcontent.product_definition_likely

    A clear definition of what your product is appears in the first 300 words AI engines extract.

    Evidence: No clear definition pattern in the first 300 words.

    Fix: Add a 25–50 word definition above the fold matching the template: "<Brand> is <category> that <primary function>, <key differentiator>." AI engines often cite this verbatim.

  • FAQ content presentFailcontent.faq_present

    FAQs cover the long-tail questions AI engines answer for buyers.

    Evidence: No FAQ content detected.

    Fix: Add a 5–10 question FAQ block on the homepage or pricing page covering: what it is, who it's for, pricing, integrations, alternatives, and onboarding. Wrap it in FAQPage JSON-LD.

  • Pricing visible or linkedFailcontent.pricing_visible

    Pricing is visible or one click away — AI engines extract this constantly.

    Evidence: No pricing table and no link to /pricing or /plans.

    Fix: Publish a /pricing page with a comparison table. "Talk to sales"-only pricing kills AI citation in commercial queries ("how much does X cost").

  • sameAs profile links presentFailentity.same_as_profiles_present

    Schema links your brand to authoritative external profiles AI engines trust.

    Evidence: No sameAs links on the entity node.

    Fix: In your Organization schema, add a sameAs array linking to LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Crunchbase, Wikipedia/Wikidata, GitHub, and major product directories.

  • Contact channel visibleFailauthority.contact_visible

    A contact channel (email or contact page) is reachable.

    Evidence: No mailto: or contact/support page link.

    Fix: Add a visible contact email or /contact page. Missing contact info is a recurring distrust signal AI engines pick up on.
