I just ran our first AI visibility audit with Am I Cited. We score 23/100. Competitors average 65.

What’s frustrating: Our SEO is great. We rank top 3 for most of our keywords. We have a DR of 58. Plenty of quality content.

But AI barely knows we exist. When people ask ChatGPT or Perplexity about our category, we’re invisible.

What I need:

  • Where do I even start with a score this low?
  • What’s the fastest path to meaningful improvement?
  • What should I prioritize when everything needs work?

I have limited resources and need to show progress quickly. What gives the most bang for the buck?

A score of 23 means you’re probably missing fundamentals. Good news: fundamentals are fixable quickly.

The Diagnostic:

Low scores typically come from:

  1. Technical blockers (AI can’t access content)
  2. Missing entity signals (AI doesn’t recognize you)
  3. Poor content structure (AI can’t extract answers)
  4. Weak authority signals (AI doesn’t trust you enough)

Quick Diagnosis:

Technical Check (5 minutes):

  • Is robots.txt blocking AI crawlers?
  • Are pages server-rendered (not JS-only)?

Entity Check (10 minutes):

  • Do you have Organization schema?
  • Is your Wikidata entry current?

Structure Check (15 minutes):

  • Do top pages have clear answers in first paragraphs?
  • FAQ sections with schema?

Authority Check (15 minutes):

  • Author information on content?
  • Citations to sources?

The 80/20 for fast improvement:

Most low-scoring sites are missing:

  1. AI crawler access (fix in 1 hour)
  2. Organization schema (fix in 3 hours)
  3. FAQ schema on key pages (fix in 1 hour each)
  4. Direct answer formatting (fix in 2-3 hours per page)

These alone can push you from 23 to 50+ within a month.

We definitely don’t have Organization schema or FAQ schema. How quickly can these actually impact our score?

Timeline from real implementations:

Organization Schema:

  • Implementation: 2-4 hours with developer
  • Impact: 5-15 point score improvement
  • Time to see impact: 2-3 weeks

FAQ Schema (per page):

  • Implementation: 30-60 minutes
  • Impact: 2-5 points per page with FAQ
  • Time to see impact: 1-2 weeks

Robots.txt Fix (if needed):

  • Implementation: 15 minutes
  • Impact: Can unlock everything (if you were blocked)
  • Time to see impact: 1-2 weeks

Content Restructuring (per page):

  • Implementation: 2-4 hours
  • Impact: 3-8 points per page
  • Time to see impact: 3-4 weeks

Realistic scenario for you:

Week 1: Technical fixes + Organization schema Week 2: FAQ schema on top 10 pages Week 3-4: Restructure top 10 pages

Expected result: 23 → 55-70 within 4-6 weeks

After that, improvements come from comprehensive coverage and authority building.

Real case study - our improvement path:

Starting Point:

  • AI visibility score: 28
  • Good SEO (ranked well)
  • No AI-specific optimization

What We Did:

Month 1:

  • Fixed robots.txt (was inadvertently blocking GPTBot)
  • Added Organization schema
  • Added FAQ schema to 15 pages
  • Restructured 10 top pages

Month 2:

  • Created comprehensive pillar content (3 pillars)
  • Consolidated cannibalizing pages
  • Added author pages with Person schema

Month 3:

  • Built topic clusters around pillars
  • Consistent content updates with freshness signals
  • Started monitoring competitors

Results:

MetricMonth 0Month 3
AI Visibility Score2871
AI Citations/Month334
AI Referral Traffic120890

The biggest single impact:

Robots.txt fix + content restructuring. These alone got us from 28 to ~50.

Schema and authority built on top of that foundation.

Before you fix anything, diagnose properly:

Run this diagnostic:

1. Technical Access Test

curl -A "GPTBot" -I https://yoursite.com/

Look for: 200 status code, no redirects to captcha

2. Robots.txt Check

curl https://yoursite.com/robots.txt

Look for: No “Disallow” for AI user agents

3. Schema Check Google Rich Results Test: Is Organization schema valid?

4. Content Structure Test Open your top page. First 100 words:

  • Is there a direct answer to the page’s main question?
  • Or is it intro fluff?

5. AI Citation Test Ask ChatGPT/Perplexity 5 relevant questions:

  • Do you appear in any responses?
  • Who does appear?

Common findings:

Score 0-30: Usually technical blockers + missing schema + poor structure Score 30-50: Structure issues + weak authority Score 50-70: Need comprehensive coverage + authority building Score 70+: Optimization and competitive positioning

Your 23 likely has technical issues. Fix those first.

Limited resource prioritization:

If you can only do ONE thing: Restructure your top 5 pages with TL;DR, direct answers, and FAQ schema.

This single effort hits multiple improvement areas and focuses on your most important content.

If you can do TWO things:

  1. Top 5 page restructuring
  2. Organization schema + robots.txt fix

If you can do THREE things:

  1. Top 5 page restructuring
  2. Organization schema + robots.txt fix
  3. FAQ schema on 10 additional pages

What to defer if resources are limited:

  • Authority building (important but slower)
  • Comprehensive coverage (important but slower)
  • Advanced schema types
  • LLMs.txt (nice but not critical)

The principle:

Technical foundation → High-traffic page optimization → Expand from there

Don’t spread thin across everything. Go deep on the highest-impact items first.

This thread gave me a clear path forward. Here’s my 30-day plan:

Week 1: Foundation

  • Day 1: Audit robots.txt, fix if needed
  • Day 2: Implement Organization schema
  • Day 3: Create Wikidata entry
  • Day 4-5: Add FAQ schema to top 10 pages

Week 2-3: Content Structure

  • Restructure top 10 pages:
    • Add TL;DR with direct answer
    • Convert H2s to questions
    • Answer first in each section
    • Add comparison tables where relevant
    • FAQ section at bottom

Week 4: Authority + Measurement

  • Add author information to all content
  • Add citations to claims
  • Update “last modified” dates
  • Measure progress vs baseline
  • Plan next 30 days

Expected Result: 23 → 55-70 within 30 days

Key insight:

Low score with good SEO = missing AI-specific fundamentals. The fixes are known and achievable. Just need to execute.

Thanks everyone for the diagnosis frameworks and quick wins list!

Frequently Asked Questions

Varför leder bra SEO-ranking inte alltid till AI-synlighet?
SEO och AI-synlighet är olika spel. SEO optimerar för Googles rankningsalgoritm. AI-synlighet kräver innehåll som AI lätt kan extrahera och citera, entity recognition och auktoritetssignaler som AI litar på. Du kan ligga etta på Google och ändå aldrig bli citerad av AI om din innehållsstruktur inte passar AI:s behov.
Vad är de snabbaste vinsterna för att förbättra AI-synlighet?
Snabbaste vinsterna: robots.txt som tillåter AI-crawlers (1 timme), Organization schema (2-3 timmar), FAQ-schema på toppsidor (30 min per sida), omstrukturering av topp 5 sidor med TL;DR och direkta svar (1-2 dagar). Dessa tekniska och strukturella ändringar kan ge resultat på 2-4 veckor.
Hur lång tid tar det att förbättra AI-synligheten avsevärt?
Snabba vinster (tekniska åtgärder, schema) kan ge effekt på 2-4 veckor. Omstrukturering av innehåll visar resultat på 4-8 veckor. Att bygga auktoritet och täckning tar 3-6 månader. Förvänta dig meningsfull förbättring (50-100+ poängs ökning) inom 90 dagar med fokuserad insats.
