Action plan

Prioritized work, from quick wins to strategic bets.

Quick wins

  • Review firewall, WAF, or bot protection rules and explicitly allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, and bingbot.

    Restores eligibility to be cited by AI platforms instead of being filtered out before content is evaluated.

  • Rewrite priority pages using clear answer blocks, factual statements, and self-contained paragraphs in the 100-200 word range.

    Raises the odds that AI tools will quote your pages directly instead of paraphrasing competitors.

  • Review whether these pages should really be excluded; remove noindex from any page whose content you want AI systems to quote.

    Returns hidden content to the pool of citable material.

Medium-term

  • Deploy the complete AI readiness file set to the web root. See https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/ for a reference deployment.

    A complete kit adds a +20 point bonus to the GEO score and gives every major AI platform a direct reading path into the site.

  • Strengthen About, Team, Contact, and proof sections with credentials, client evidence, years in business, and external references.

    Builds trust signals that both users and AI systems rely on when choosing what to cite.

  • Add Article markup to the most relevant pages, then extend to the remaining types where content supports them.

    Category-matched schema helps AI platforms classify the business and select it for category-specific answers.

  • Prioritize LinkedIn, YouTube, review platforms, and a clean sameAs graph; pursue Wikidata or Wikipedia when the brand is notable enough.

    Makes the brand easier for AI systems to recognize, disambiguate, and trust.

Findings

Open a row to read detail and recommended fixes.

Critical

1
Major AI crawlers are being blockedCritical

The homepage returns blocking responses for one or more AI bots, which dramatically reduces visibility in AI answer engines even if Google can still crawl the site.

Recommended fix · Review firewall, WAF, or bot protection rules and explicitly allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot, and bingbot.

High

2
Content is not yet quote-friendly for AI systemsHigh

The sampled pages skew toward low citability, which usually means the copy is too vague, too thin, or too contextual for an answer engine to safely extract.

Recommended fix · Rewrite priority pages using clear answer blocks, factual statements, and self-contained paragraphs in the 100-200 word range.
Affected pages · https://yieldstudio.com/dash/login · https://yieldstudio.com/dash/register · https://yieldstudio.com/terms · https://yieldstudio.com · https://yieldstudio.com/privacy
Key pages carry noindex directivesHigh

2 sampled page(s) are marked noindex, so their content can never be cited by AI systems even though it is publicly reachable.

Recommended fix · Review whether these pages should really be excluded; remove noindex from any page whose content you want AI systems to quote.

Medium

AI readiness kit is not deployedMedium

Only 2 of 15 AI readiness files were found at the web root. A complete kit (llms.txt, ai.txt, ai-entities.json, rag-index.json, and companions) gives AI systems a full machine-readable map of the site.

Recommended fix · Deploy the complete AI readiness file set to the web root. See https://ai.silverbackmarketing.com/ for a reference deployment.
Authority and trust signals are weakMedium

The site does not yet show a strong enough mix of authoritativeness, company context, and proof elements across the pages sampled.

Recommended fix · Strengthen About, Team, Contact, and proof sections with credentials, client evidence, years in business, and external references.
Missing the schema types expected for a Publisher siteMedium

The site was classified as Publisher, but none of the schema types AI systems expect for this category (Article, NewsArticle, BlogPosting) were found on the sampled pages.

Recommended fix · Add Article markup to the most relevant pages, then extend to the remaining types where content supports them.
Off-site entity presence is thinMedium

The brand appears to have limited discoverable entity reinforcement outside the website itself, especially on sources AI systems commonly cross-check.

Recommended fix · Prioritize LinkedIn, YouTube, review platforms, and a clean sameAs graph; pursue Wikidata or Wikipedia when the brand is notable enough.
