How AI Onboard Easy Applies Its Own Methodology

We rebuilt aionboardeasy.com to visibly follow the same standards the AI Search Readiness Audit recommends. This page is the running record of what changed, why and what is still open.

Methodology version 1.0 · Last reviewed 2026-07-12 · This is internal review, not independent certification.

What was improved

  • Semantic heading structure
    One H1 per page and hierarchical H2/H3s let assistive tech and AI extract intent.
  • Accessible audit form
    Explicit labels, aria-describedby help text, error summary with focus management and specific submit label.
  • Public methodology page
    Documents scoring dimensions and weights so results can be judged.
  • Absolute XML sitemap
    Every <loc> is a full canonical URL — required by Google Search Console and Bing.
  • Robots.txt with sitemap reference
    Points crawlers to the sitemap at an absolute URL; sensible disallows only.
  • Unique page metadata
    Every route has route-specific title, description, canonical and og:* rendered in initial HTML.
  • Sitewide structured data
    Organization and WebSite JSON-LD in the root shell; page-specific Article, Service, FAQPage where visible.
  • Answer-first summaries
    Every major H2 opens with a direct answer paragraph before elaboration.
  • Buyer-question coverage
    FAQ blocks on homepage, GEO guide, GEO vs SEO and pricing use questions buyers actually ask.
  • Public sample report
    A stable, indexable /sample-report page lets AI systems and prospects preview real output.
  • Content update dates
    Methodology, pillar pages and this page show 'Last reviewed' dates to signal freshness.
  • Optional llms.txt
    A concise, factual llms.txt orients AI crawlers. Not a ranking factor; supplemental only.
  • Privacy and terms
    Real policy pages with clear ownership, not placeholder # links.

Public technical artifacts

Known limitations

  • Domain-level redirects for http → https and www → apex are DNS-level configurations at the hosting layer; they are documented as owner actions in the SEO setup doc.
  • Open Graph share images are generic; per-page branded 1200×630 images are a documented owner follow-up.
  • Search Console and Bing Webmaster verification tokens must be supplied by the owner as environment variables (VITE_GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION, VITE_BING_SITE_VERIFICATION).
  • GA4 measurement ID is wired but disabled until the owner provides VITE_GA_MEASUREMENT_ID.
  • Internal readiness review is not independent certification.
