Your top 3 priorities

Here's where contra.com can make the fastest gains in AEO visibility, accuracy, and traffic. If you only did three things, do these:

AI visibility snapshot

Contra is consistently mentioned across AI responses, frequently ranked #1 among commission-free freelance platforms with accurate descriptions of its zero-commission model, portfolio features, and payment tools. However, the brand's deeper positioning as 'a professional network for the jobs and skills of the future' and its creative intelligence angle are rarely conveyed — most mentions focus narrowly on the commission-free feature rather than the broader value proposition. Notably, Contra was omitted from two responses about professional networks for freelancers, which is a significant gap given that this is core to its identity.

What your AEO Assessment covers

Content

Content: Build the source AI trusts

We evaluated how your content performs across freshness, structure, depth, and clarity to see how well it helps AI understand what you do and why you matter.

Content Category Score

Contra has a solid foundation with 26 content pages, FAQ sections, and 7 content types. The key opportunity is refreshing existing content and aligning it more closely with the questions prospects are asking to improve visibility in AI-driven search.

Refresh and update existing content

None of your content pages show recent publish or update dates. Prioritize refreshing your highest-value pages with current information so AI models and search engines treat your content as active ...

Align content with prospect questions

Technical

Technical: Structure wins

We evaluated how well your site uses schema, other metadata, accessibility, and speed, and more to help LLMs understand the structure and meaning of your content and establish one part of your authority in AI-driven search.

Technical Category Score

Contra has foundational technical elements in place—HTTPS, a valid sitemap, and robots.txt. The primary opportunity is expanding SEO metadata coverage (currently ~55%) and improving content structure to help AI engines parse and surface your pages more effectively.

Expand site-wide SEO metadata

About 55% of pages currently have complete metadata. Audit pages missing title tags, meta descriptions, or H1 headings and use CMS templates to auto-populate these fields across at least 70% of all...

Push metadata coverage higher

Building on the first fix, aim for 80%+ metadata coverage site-wide. Prioritize high-traffic and high-value pages first, then extend templated metadata to long-tail and dynamically generated pages.

Add structured content formatting

Enhance pages with bullet points, numbered steps, comparison tables, and FAQ sections. These structure markers make content easier for both users and AI answer engines to scan and extract key infor...

Authority

Authority: Earn trust, everywhere

We evaluated how your site establishes authority by looking at how and how frequently others talk about you, the associated sentiment, and more.

Authority Category Score

Contra has strong foundational assets — a Wikipedia page, Google Knowledge Graph entry, and broad social presence. However, brand messaging consistency needs tightening, and AI platforms haven't yet captured Contra's evolution toward creative intelligence.

Tighten website brand messaging

Audit key pages (homepage, about, product, pricing) to ensure your company description and value proposition are consistent. Aligned messaging helps AI models accurately represent your brand and it...

Measurement

Measurement: From rankings to representation

This score reflects how well you monitor your visibility across AI systems; from tracking brand mentions and citations to understanding sentiment and share of voice.

Measurement Category Score

Contra has a strong analytics foundation with 13 tools and 100% sitewide coverage — an excellent base. The next step is layering in AEO-specific tracking to measure how AI platforms drive discovery and traffic to your site.

Adopt a dedicated AEO tool

Invest in a purpose-built AEO monitoring tool that systematically tracks AI citation rates, LLM brand mentions, and AI-referred traffic. Manual spot-checking doesn't scale — automation turns ad hoc...
