Quick Answer: The Technical Audit scans your website for issues that affect both traditional SEO and AI visibility - from broken links to missing schema markup. It grades your site’s health and provides actionable fix recommendations.

​
What You’ll Learn

  • What the Technical Audit checks
  • How it relates to AI visibility
  • How grading works
  • How often to run audits

​
Why Technical Health Matters for AI

AI platforms can only recommend you if:
  1. Your content is crawlable (bots can access it)
  2. Your content is parseable (structured for understanding)
  3. Your content is authoritative (signals of quality)
  4. Your content is fast (bots skip slow pages)
Technical issues block any of these requirements.
