Content Structure & Readability
Organize content so AI can parse it effortlessly.
What This Check Does
Content structure refers to the logical hierarchy of your page: heading levels (H1-H6), paragraph organization, image alt text, and overall readability. Well-structured content enables AI models to extract key information and build accurate summaries.
Why It Matters for AI Search
AI models process content hierarchically. A clear H1 followed by organized H2/H3 sections allows models to understand topic relationships. Poor structure forces AI to guess at content importance, often leading to inaccurate or incomplete citations.
How We Evaluate
- 1Verify a single H1 tag exists on each page
- 2Check heading hierarchy follows a logical order (H1 > H2 > H3)
- 3Measure word count and content density
- 4Validate image alt text for accessibility and AI understanding
Optimization Tips
- Use exactly one H1 per page that clearly states the topic
- Organize content with H2 and H3 headings that form a scannable outline
- Aim for at least 800 words on key content pages
- Add descriptive alt text to all images, describing what they show
