Weak AI visibility with 8 of 22 criteria passing. Biggest gap: sitemap completeness.
Verdict
continue.dev shows a mixed AEO profile with an overall score of 45/100: core technical hygiene is strong, but answer-readiness and discoverability signals are incomplete. Strengths include a valid llms.txt (10/10), solid structured data foundations (9/10), and clean crawlable HTML (9/10). However, several high-impact visibility blockers remain, including missing sitemap completeness (0/10), canonical URL strategy (0/10), RSS/Atom feed (0/10), and AI permissions/licensing signals (0/10). Content extraction for answer engines is also weak, with low scores in direct answer paragraphs (2/10), question-format content (2/10), and freshness signals (2/10).

Guides for the criteria with the most room for improvement
No date on your page? AI engines treat it like a rumor -undated and deprioritized. Here's how we audit whether your timestamps are actually machine-readable.
Sitemaps tell crawlers what exists. RSS feeds tell them what changed. If you don't have one, your new content waits days -or weeks -to be discovered.
Your sitemap says 500 pages exist. Our crawl finds 700. Those 200 missing URLs? AI crawlers will never know they exist.
AI engines are citation machines -they need specific facts to quote. A page full of general advice with zero data points gives them nothing to work with.
