Top fixes
Highest-impact issues first, ranked by severity.
- No contradictory claims about the productFailanswer_accuracy.no_contradictory_claims
AI engines don't contradict facts visible on your site (pricing, integrations, security claims).
Evidence: At least one engine contradicted a fact visible on the site.
Fix: Address contradictions urgently. AI hallucinations about pricing/features/audience are conversion killers and a known buyer concern.
- 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.
- AI describes core features accuratelyFailanswer_accuracy.features_accurate
AI engines describe your core features without inventing capabilities you don't have.
Evidence: No engine returned an answer aligned with the site fact.
Fix: Surface this fact more prominently on the homepage and in structured data so AI engines can extract and cite it.
- 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.
- Pricing visible or linkedWarncontent.pricing_visible
Pricing is visible or one click away — AI engines extract this constantly.
Evidence: Pricing link found (/pricing) but no pricing table on the homepage.
Fix: Surface a pricing summary (3 tiers, headline price each) on the homepage or above-the-fold of /pricing. AI engines pull from tables far more reliably than from prose.
