Audit a documentation site for AI answer engines
Documentation site audits for AI answer engines succeed when the answer paragraph is in the initial HTML, the structured data is valid, and rank tracking watches AI-citation share alongside classic Google rank. Every check below is plain-language and mapped to a real audit-rule outcome.

On-page
Comprobaciones on-page
- Hand-written title + description per doc. Doc frameworks default to the file name. Rewrite every top-level doc with an intent-matching title and description.
- One H1 per doc, hierarchical H2 / H3. Docs sites often stack multiple H1s across sections. Enforce a single H1 and hierarchical subheadings.
- Descriptive code-fence captions. AI answer engines cite code snippets with their surrounding sentence. Prefix every fence with a caption.
Datos estructurados
Comprobaciones de datos estructurados
- TechArticle JSON-LD on every doc. headline, description, dependencies, proficiencyLevel, author (organization or maintainer team).
- FAQPage JSON-LD on troubleshooting pages. Troubleshooting pages with Q&A shape ship FAQPage schema; AI answer engines cite them directly.
- BreadcrumbList reflecting the site structure. BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on every doc so AI answers cite the section hierarchy.
Motores de respuesta con IA
Preparación para motores de respuesta con IA
- Answer-first opening paragraph. AI models cite the first paragraph. Lead every doc with the plain-language answer to “what does this doc explain”.
- Version canonicalization. Docs with /v1, /v2, /latest structures compete with themselves. Canonicalize to /latest for the AI-facing version.
- Runnable examples reachable in the initial HTML. Client-only playgrounds hide the example from AI crawlers. Ship a static snippet alongside the playground.
A tener en cuenta
Detalles a los que prestar atención
- Old versions competing for the same query — canonicalize to /latest for the AI-facing surface.
- Client-only playgrounds hide the example from AI crawlers.
- Auto-generated API reference without a description reads as boilerplate to AI answers — hand-write summaries.
