What your AEO Assessment covers
Your personalized AEO assessment measures how well pattern.com is positioned for AI-driven discovery. It evaluates your site’s performance across four key categories—Content, Technical, Authority, and Measurement—to show how effectively AI systems can understand, cite, and recommend your brand.
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
Pattern has a solid content foundation with 77 pages across 13 content types and FAQ sections on over 20% of pages. The biggest opportunity is refreshing existing content—nearly all pages appear dated—and expanding coverage of key prospect questions.
Refresh content more frequently
Prioritize updating your highest-value and highest-traffic pages so that at least 10% of your content reflects recent activity. AI engines and search platforms favor fresh, up-to-date content.
Establish a regular update cadence
Aim to publish or update content so that at least 5% of your pages show activity within the past year. LLMs and search engines deprioritize content that appears stale or abandoned.
Close key question gaps
Your content currently addresses about 30% of the questions prospects are likely asking. Create new pages or sections that target unanswered questions, prioritizing those with high purchase intent.
Question Coverage Percentage
Coverage of the 100 most likely questions your target audience will ask related to the topics visible on your site.
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
Pattern has solid foundations in place—HTTPS, valid sitemap, robots.txt, and strong schema markup coverage. You're very close to completing Level 1; fixing broken links and closing small metadata gaps on key pages will unlock the next stage of technical maturity.
Fix broken links on key pages
Your key pages currently have a higher-than-ideal broken link rate. Audit and fix these links to strengthen credibility with both visitors and AI systems that crawl your site.
Expand site-wide SEO metadata
About 63% of your pages have complete SEO metadata—you need 70% to clear this gate. Use CMS templates to auto-populate title tags, meta descriptions, and H1 headings across the site.
Complete metadata on key pages
You're at 79% metadata coverage on key pages, just shy of the 80% threshold. Ensure every homepage, product, pricing, and about page has a unique title tag, meta description, and H1.
Schema Coverage Percentage
Share of pages with schema.org metadata for improved LLM and search engine understanding.
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
Pattern has a solid digital foundation with a Knowledge Graph, Wikipedia page, and recognition across major AI platforms. The next opportunity is strengthening content attribution, expanding authoritative mentions, and improving brand sentiment to reach Level 3.
Strengthen content attribution practices
Back claims with specific data points, cite sources, and attribute expertise to named authors. With a byline rate under 20%, adding author credentials and supporting evidence will boost credibility...
Expand authoritative industry presence
At 22% mention coverage, you're close to the Level 3 threshold. Pursue analyst coverage, guest posts on major publications, review site profiles on G2 or Capterra, and conference speaking opportuni...
Elevate brand sentiment signals
Your sentiment score is just below the next threshold. Amplify customer success stories, engage publicly with reviews, and share transparent updates on product improvements to nudge sentiment upwar...
Authority Coverage Percentage
Percent of top 50 industry sites that mention you.
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
Pattern has an exceptional analytics foundation with full sitewide coverage and 10 integrated tools. To reach peak AEO measurement maturity, adding a dedicated AEO monitoring tool and connecting AI-referred traffic to business outcomes will complete the picture.
Add dedicated AEO monitoring
Adopt a purpose-built AEO tracking tool to systematically monitor AI citation rates, LLM brand mentions, and AI-referred traffic. Manual checking doesn't scale — automation ensures consistent, comp...

If not already in place (we cannot tell from the outside), create real-time dashboards that connect AEO metrics directly to content investment decisions, enabling proactive adaptation as AI search ...
Connect AI traffic to revenue
