SEO B green zone classic search visibility
AIO B green zone AI & answer-engine visibility

AI Search Optimization Score

Measures a website's readiness for generative search, answer engines, AI citations, and traditional search.

Traffic Strength — Below the measurable range (top 1M most-visited domains), which is normal for small and new sites. It never lowers the other scores.
Overall Digital Authority 80/100 B Composite of every measured category, including popularity, domain age and trust signals.

Brandefined scores B (81) for traditional search visibility and B (80) for AI and answer-engine visibility — both solid but with clear room to grow. The site handles speed, mobile usability, and basic search indexing well, but gaps in local search signals and content structure are holding back both scores, with local search (50) dragging the SEO score most and a thin opening summary limiting the AIO score. Addressing the missing metadata, schema, and introductory content would strengthen how both search engines and AI tools understand and present the site.

SEO: 4 points below the strong-ranking profile. AIO: 5 points below the strong-ranking profile. The 85-point benchmark is the score a site meeting the practices that consistently strong-ranking sites follow would earn on these same checks: a measured yardstick, not live competitor rankings.

Category scores

Each category is a weighted set of measured checks; unmeasurable categories are excluded from the grade, not guessed.

Score breakdown

Each score is built from weighted categories; the contribution column shows exactly how many points each category adds to the total (weights renormalize over what was measurable). Categories reuse the same underlying checks; nothing is double-crawled.

Recommendations

Each item is tagged with the score it improves (SEO, AIO, or both) and carries a status: To do = on your current plan · ✓ Done = the change was detected on a re-check of your site · Still open = re-checked but not detected yet · Awaiting external data = a crawl of your site alone cannot confirm it.

Used in the copy-paste fix prompts below. Hand them to ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever tool edits your site.
1

Add a meta description to control your search snippet

SEO + AIO To do

The crawler found no meta description on the homepage, meaning search engines will pull random text from the page to use as your snippet — often with poor results. A well-crafted description typically helps click-through rates by giving searchers a clear reason to visit. Consider something like: "Brandefined is a creative strategy and design agency helping bold brands stand out, connect with their audience, and grow through purposeful digital experiences."

Paste into your AI tool; after publishing the fix, re-check below to turn this item green.
2

Link to an About page from the homepage

SEO + AIO To do

The crawler found links to Contact and Privacy from the homepage, but no About page was discovered in the same scan. Having a clearly linked About page typically helps both search engines and AI tools assess the credibility and context of a business. Add a visible link to an About page in your main navigation or footer so it is easy for users and crawlers to find.

Paste into your AI tool; after publishing the fix, re-check below to turn this item green.
3

Enable text compression (gzip or Brotli) on your server

SEO + AIO To do

The homepage response returned with Content-Encoding: none, meaning HTML is being sent to browsers uncompressed. Enabling gzip or Brotli compression typically reduces page transfer size by 60–80% and is one of the lowest-effort server-side performance wins available. Contact your host or developer to enable compression at the server or CDN level — it is usually a single configuration change.

4

Add LocalBusiness schema markup to improve local search presence

SEO To do

No LocalBusiness structured data was detected on the site, and the Local Search category scored 50 — the lowest category on the report. LocalBusiness schema tells search engines your business name, address, phone number, and service area in a machine-readable format, which typically helps eligibility for local pack results. Add JSON-LD LocalBusiness markup to your homepage with your name, address, phone, URL, and business type.

Paste into your AI tool; after publishing the fix, re-check below to turn this item green.
5

Expand the opening summary so AI tools can describe you accurately

AIO To do

The first paragraph on the homepage is only 17 words — "We help bold brands stand out, connect deeply, and grow through creative strategy, design, and digit…" — too brief for AI answer engines to extract a complete, reliable description of the business. A concise but complete opening summary of 40–60 words typically helps AI tools and featured snippets represent the site accurately. Consider rewriting it to something like: "Brandefined is a creative strategy and design agency that helps bold brands stand out and connect deeply with their audiences. We offer end-to-end services across brand strategy, visual design, and digital marketing to drive meaningful, sustainable growth."

Google Business Profile & citations

SEO To do

A Google Business Profile is free and the single biggest local-search lever; paid citation services keep your name/address/phone consistent across directories.

Optional third-party service, listed for completeness; we have no affiliation and receive nothing if you buy.

Accessibility audit

SEO + AIO To do

A professional audit (or automated service like axe/WAVE tooling) covers contrast, keyboard and screen-reader testing that a crawl cannot.

Optional third-party service, listed for completeness; we have no affiliation and receive nothing if you buy.
