SAMPLE REPORT — fictional client “TaskFlow” (taskflow.example), produced only to show format. Real reports audit your live site.
Audit date: 2026-11-04 · Scope: homepage, pricing, features, docs top pages · Overall: 41 / 100 — Partly visible
TaskFlow can be crawled by AI engines but is rarely citable: crawlers are allowed in, yet the pages never answer a buyer question in quotable form, pricing is locked in a script-driven app shell, and no third-party page names the product. Three blockers and five warnings were found. Fixing the top 3 items is estimated at under one developer-day.
| Grade | Check | Finding & evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 Blocker | No server-rendered text | Homepage HTML ships an empty app shell; the marketing copy renders only after JavaScript. Several AI crawlers fetch raw HTML — they see a blank page. |
| 🔴 Blocker | Pricing not crawlable | Prices exist only inside the logged-in app. No public pricing page; answer engines therefore never quote TaskFlow on price-related questions. |
| 🔴 Blocker | Zero third-party mentions | No directory listings, reviews or forum threads name the product. With no external corroboration, engines prefer competitors that others cite. |
| 🟡 Warning | robots.txt | GPTBot and ClaudeBot are allowed (good), but the sitemap line is missing, slowing discovery of new pages. |
| 🟡 Warning | Structured data | No JSON-LD anywhere. Adding Product/Offer and FAQPage schema is a one-hour fix with outsized effect on machine understanding. |
| 🟡 Warning | Headings are slogans | H1 “Get more done, together” matches no buyer query. Question-style headings (“How much does TaskFlow cost?”, “TaskFlow vs Notion”) mirror how users ask AI. |
| 🟡 Warning | First paragraphs don’t answer | Sections open with brand story instead of a direct answer with numbers. Answer-first paragraphs are what engines quote. |
| 🟡 Warning | No dates or authors | No visible review dates; engines discount undated claims for fast-moving categories. |
| 🟢 Good | Legal disclosure | Seller information page is complete and linked from the footer — a trust signal. |
| 🟢 Good | Sitemap coverage | sitemap.xml exists and lists 96% of public pages. |
| Buyer question | Who gets cited | TaskFlow? |
|---|---|---|
| “Best task manager for a small remote team?” | Notion, Asana, ClickUp | Not mentioned |
| “Cheap project management tool under $10/user?” | Trello, Basecamp | Not mentioned (no public price) |
| “TaskFlow pricing” | Third-party review blogs | Own site not cited |
Methodology: fixed checklist (crawler access, indexability, structured data, answer-first content, citation readiness) + live answer spot-checks. CiteScope does not promise rankings or citations; it removes the structural reasons engines skip you.
