🔎 SEO / AEO Pillar: Discovery Moderate effort Severity: low Est. cost: $0 Gap: documentation Fix: deterministic

What it means

Pages contain citable evidence: sourced numbers, dated claims, fact tables, attributed quotations.

Why it matters

GEO research shows statistics and quotations drive AI citations (+33-41% visibility). Models cannot invent verifiable facts.

✗

What's wrong

Marketing prose only: 'the industry-leading platform trusted by thousands' with zero sourced data.

What's right

'According to our 2026 benchmark, median scan time is 4.2s' + a comparison table + attributed expert quote.
