Generate Visibility Report

Why this dimension matters

Foundation layer. If HTTPS, server response, redirects, or server-side rendering are broken, AI crawlers cannot reach the page in the first place — every other dimension becomes meaningless. This is the baseline that determines whether AI can even read your site.

  • MediumTechnical SEOTECHNICAL.MISSINGXCONTENTTYPEOPTIONSImpact Low

    Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

    Recommendation: Add `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` — stops browsers from MIME-sniffing responses (prevents script smuggling via fake content types).

  • LowTechnical SEOTECHNICAL.MISSINGXFRAMEOPTIONSImpact Low

    Missing X-Frame-Options header

    Recommendation: Add `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` — prevents clickjacking by blocking other origins from embedding the site in an iframe.

For your dev team

Developer Fix Plan

Technical, copy-paste fixes for every issue — JSON-LD, headers, and exact heading rewrites, generated from your scan.

These are the issues we found — the fixes below are AI-generated examples to get you started. Your team may have a better approach; always review before shipping.

citeflow.io scored 45/100 — the single highest-leverage dev fix is publishing /llms.txt and declaring an Organization entity.

🔴 High

[citability] Publish /llms.txt at the site root

  • Evidence: Scan reports "llms.txt file missing" (weight 15, earned 0).
  • Why it matters: It tells AI crawlers which canonical pages to cite — without it, engines guess which URLs represent your brand.
  • Fix: Serve a Markdown file at https://citeflow.io/llms.txt:
# CiteFlow
> AI visibility scanner — SEO, AEO & GEO audits that show how ChatGPT,
> Perplexity and Google AI Overviews see and cite your site.

## Product
- [How it works](https://citeflow.io/#how-it-works)
- [Pricing](https://citeflow.io/pricing)
  • Effort: XS

[schema] Declare an Organization entity (JSON-LD)

  • Evidence: "No Organization schema detected" (−20). You already ship WebSite + Article schema, so the entity graph is half-built.
  • Why it matters: AI can't confidently name your company without a declared Organization + sameAs.
  • Fix: Add one JSON-LD block to <head>:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "CiteFlow",
  "url": "https://citeflow.io",
  "logo": "https://citeflow.io/logo.svg",
  "sameAs": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/citeflow"]
}
</script>
  • Effort: S

🟡 Medium

[technical] Add the missing security response headers

  • Evidence: Missing X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options.
  • Why it matters: Low individually, but trivial trust signals that clear the dimension penalty.
  • Fix: At your edge / server:
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
  • Effort: XS

[platform] Add a Twitter Card tag

  • Evidence: "Missing Twitter Card metadata".
  • Why it matters: X/Twitter renders a richer share card; falls back to your Open Graph tags when omitted.
  • Fix: <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
  • Effort: XS

🟢 Low

[content] Add alt text to the 6 images missing it

  • Evidence: 6 of 9 images have no alt attribute.
  • Why it matters: Alt text is content AI reads; decorative images should use alt="".
  • Fix: Add descriptive alt to meaningful images; empty alt for decorative ones.
  • Effort: S

Suggested order

  1. Publish /llms.txt (XS) — biggest single citability win.
  2. Organization JSON-LD (S) — completes your entity graph.
  3. Security headers (XS) — instant penalty recovery.
  4. Twitter Card + alt text — quick polish.
