How AI and LLMs Interpret Your Website: A Teardown Guide

Most websites are built for human eyes. But AI models like ChatGPT don't see images, layout, or animations — they process structure, text clarity, and metadata. This teardown breaks down the top mistakes and fixes we've seen across 50+ site audits run through AIsearchIQ.

🔍 What AI Actually Sees

• Headers and structure are key — vague or missing headings confuse LLMs.
• Metadata (title, description) strongly shapes summaries and citation potential.
• Design-only content (buttons, images, animations) is completely invisible to LLMs.
• Redundant language or marketing fluff often gets skipped or condensed.
• Schema markup improves AI comprehension and boosts authority.

⚠️ Top Mistakes That Hurt AI Visibility

• Missing or vague H1/H2 headings
• Overuse of marketing language
• Unstructured lists or tables
• Thin or duplicated content
• No schema markup
