Product Workflow & Methodology

How Aira tests a website

Aira checks your website, brand information, and search/AI readiness, then turns the findings into clear actions.

Public Beta: Full PRO Included Deterministic Scoring Observed Evidence Actionable Code Artifacts
Comprehensive Diagnostics

What Aira Checks

Six areas cover page health, AI access, brand information, whole-site analysis, and visibility in AI answers.

Technical Setup

Page & Technical SEO Analysis

Deterministic evaluation of single-page foundations: meta tags, canonical directives, HTTP status codes, H1–H6 hierarchy, viewport settings, and image dimensions with alt text.

Single-URL Technical Audit
GEO & AI Search

GEO & AI Search Readiness

Checks access for search and AI services, clarity of the main text, Schema.org markup, and whether page facts can be used in answers.

Extractability & AI Crawlability
Entity SEO

Brand & Entity Analysis

Checks the official brand website, name mentions, Wikidata and Wikipedia references, structured links, social profiles, and reviews.

Brand Disambiguation & Authority
Site Crawler

Multi-Page Crawler & Sitewide SEO

Bounded asynchronous crawler scanning your site via sitemap XML and internal links, revealing sitewide duplicate metadata, missing H1s, and per-page diagnostic drill-downs.

Sitewide Architecture Audit
Answer Monitoring

AI Visibility & Prompt Monitoring

Controlled monitoring runs that evaluate brand mentions and citations across configured AI models for defined search prompts.

Observed Provider Evidence
Workspace

Projects, Action Backlog & Progress

Persistent domain workspace with competitor tracking for up to 5 domains, auto-generated code artifacts (JSON-LD, robots.txt, meta), and historical score progression.

Ongoing Site Optimization
Linear 6-Step Workflow

How an Audit Works

A simple, transparent process from URL entry to verified implementation. Analysis modes run strictly on demand—never as an unexpected bulk operation.

01

Enter a Site or Select a Project

Enter a single URL for an instant diagnostic check, submit a brand name for entity discovery, or open a saved Project workspace for sitewide crawling and monitoring.

02

Collect Page Data

Aira safely fetches the target URL, inspecting rendered HTML, HTTP headers, robots directives, sitemap XML, Schema microdata, and verified external reference links.

03

Run Selected Analysis

Deterministic scoring rules evaluate technical compliance, semantic extractability, and entity consistency without erratic fluctuations or unconfigured external costs.

04

Explain Findings with Evidence

Every identified issue is presented alongside exact observed evidence (raw tag values, HTTP codes, detected markup) and a plain-language explanation of why it matters.

05

Recommend Actions & Ready Code

Findings are organized into a prioritized Action Backlog with auto-generated code artifacts (valid Schema JSON-LD, robots.txt snippets, meta tags) ready to deploy.

06

Rerun & Verify Progress

After applying fixes on your website, rerun the audit with one click to confirm that issues are resolved, observe score increases, and log progress in your history.

Tangible Deliverables

What You Get

Concrete technical data, evidence-backed explanations, and ready-to-deploy code—not generic or speculative checklists.

Scores & Readiness Indicators

Clear, deterministic scores for Technical SEO, Structured Data, Brand Readiness, and AI Search Readiness with visible coverage percentages.

Observed Evidence & Raw Values

Verifiable proof for every check: exact detected titles, canonical tags, server response codes, JSON-LD graphs, and linked social profiles.

Plain-English Issue Explanations

Understand what each issue means, why search engines and AI models care about it, and what happens if left unaddressed.

Prioritized Action Backlog

Actionable items sorted by priority (High, Medium, Low) to help teams address potential search and crawl barriers first.

Auto-Generated Code Artifacts

Copy-pasteable code snippets generated specifically for your site: Schema.org JSON-LD, robots.txt directives, and optimized meta tags.

Audit History & Progress in Projects

Persistent audit snapshots, score progress tracking over time, and side-by-side benchmarking against up to 5 competitor domains.

Crucial Distinction

Readiness vs Observed AI Visibility

Why preparing your website for AI crawlers is distinct from tracking real-time answers across generative AI engines.

On-Site Readiness Factors Deterministic Audit

AI & Search Readiness

Technical setup, page content, structured data, and brand information that help search and AI services find and understand your website.

AI bot access directives in robots.txt (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot)
Semantic heading hierarchy and clear content extractability
Schema.org Organization, Person, and WebPage microdata
Official brand domain validation & Wikidata / Wikipedia links
Goal: Find and fix technical problems that make your website harder for search and AI services to understand.
Observed via Providers Empirical Monitoring

Observed AI Visibility

The empirical record of controlled queries executed across supported and configured AI providers (such as OpenAI models) for specific brand prompts.

Actual brand name mentions in generated answers
Direct citation links and source attribution in AI outputs
Comparative mention frequency against competitor brands
Controlled prompt execution on configured schedules
Goal: Record real-world model outputs and track empirical brand citations over time.

Honest Evidence Boundary: High Readiness Is Necessary, but Not a Guarantee

A high Readiness Score means the website’s technical setup and content are clear to search and AI services. This can remove potential barriers, but it does not guarantee crawling, citation, or inclusion in AI answers.

Workspace Architecture

How Projects Connect Audits, Tasks & Progress

Projects provide persistent context for your domain, turning one-off diagnostics into continuous, trackable optimization.

3

Progress & Audit History

Review historical scores across single and multi-page audits, compare trends over time, and benchmark against up to 5 competitors.

Score Progression & Trends

No project required for basic audits: Single-page analysis and brand discovery work instantly on the homepage without creating a project.

Technical Methodology

How Site Health is calculated

SEO 55% + Structured Data 25% + Brand Readiness 20%. AI Readiness is shown separately and does not affect Site Health.

55%
Technical SEO
Meta tags, robots directives, headings, status codes, viewport
25%
Structured Data
Schema.org microdata, JSON-LD graph validity & entity links
20%
Brand Readiness
Domain validation, mention density, Wikidata/Wikipedia links

This is a provisional score: unavailable or not-applicable checks are excluded from category averages. Each metric shows which data was available.

Site Health is unavailable because at least one required category has no measured evidence. Missing categories are not treated as zero.

The previous report uses a different or unknown methodology, so a numeric change is not shown.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers about Aira audits, projects, GEO readiness, and public beta access.

Do I need an account to test a website?

No. You can run an instant single-page audit or basic brand discovery right on the homepage without registering. Creating a free account is needed to save Projects, run the multi-page crawler, access the Action Backlog, generate code artifacts, and monitor progress over time.

Do I need to create a Project?

No, a Project is not required for quick diagnostics. You can analyze any individual URL or brand on demand. Projects are designed for ongoing tracking: they store your domain context, track up to 5 competitors, maintain audit history, and organize tasks into a persistent backlog.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing website technical accessibility, semantic content extractability, and structured entity data so modern AI search engines (like SearchGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews) can easily discover, parse, understand, and cite your content.

Does a high readiness score mean AI systems already mention my brand?

No. The AI Readiness score measures your site's technical and semantic preparation for AI crawlers. Observed AI Visibility is a separate empirical check based on real prompt queries to configured AI models. High readiness helps remove discovery barriers, but does not guarantee an immediate mention.

What is the difference between Page Analysis and Multi-Page Analysis?

Page Analysis checks technical SEO, structured data, and AI readiness for one URL. Multi-Page Analysis follows sitemap and internal links to find sitewide problems and duplicate titles or descriptions.

Can I rerun an audit after making changes?

Yes. Once you implement recommendations or deploy generated code artifacts (such as Schema JSON-LD or robots.txt), you can rerun the audit in one click to verify that the fixes took effect and compare your before/after scores.

What is available during Public Beta?

During the public beta stage, every registered user receives full PRO beta access at no cost. This includes single-page audits, multi-page crawling, brand analysis, project workspaces, Action Backlog, code artifact generation, and competitor tracking (subject to reasonable beta capacity limits).
