Weak AI visibility with 2 of 22 criteria passing. Biggest gap: llms.txt file.
Verdict
zeit-ai.com has a usable technical base for crawling (HTTPS enabled, robots.txt returns 200, and 7,439 characters of indexable homepage text), but it is not AEO-ready in its current state. Core machine-readable trust signals are missing: llms.txt (404), sitemap.xml (404), FAQ page (404), canonical tags, RSS feed, and all JSON-LD schema (0 schema blocks, 0 schema types). Content has some strength with 11 quantitative data points and a clear single H1, but extraction patterns are weak with 0 question headings, 0 lists, 0 tables, and no definition structures. Overall, the site has foundational content but lacks the structured signals AI engines use for confident citation.

Tidio has a 251-line llms.txt. Crisp has zero. The score gap: +29 points. This single file tells AI assistants exactly what your site does -and without it, they're guessing.
Tidio runs 4 JSON-LD schema types. Crisp runs zero. That's not a coincidence -it's the difference between a 63 and a 34. Structured data is the machine-readable layer AI trusts most.
Our site runs 87 FAQ items across 9 categories with FAQPage schema on every one. That's not excessive -it's how we hit 88/100. Each Q&A pair is a citation opportunity AI can extract in seconds.
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.
