Getting Started with Structiq: Your First AI Visibility Scan

Running your first Structiq scan takes less than two minutes and requires only one thing: your website URL.

To begin, open the Structiq dashboard and enter the URL of the page you want to analyze. Most users start with their homepage, but you can also scan landing pages, blog posts, product pages, or documentation pages.

Once you enter the URL, Structiq crawls the page and analyzes how modern AI systems interpret your content. This includes platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity that increasingly power the way people search for answers online.

You can optionally add competitor URLs at this stage. Doing so allows Structiq to compare your site’s signals against other websites in your niche. This helps identify why AI systems might be referencing your competitors instead of your brand.

Structiq offers two scan types:

Basic Scan — analyzes a single page (usually your homepage). This is ideal for quick insights and typically completes in under two minutes.

Deep Scan (Pro) — analyzes multiple pages across your website. Structiq follows your sitemap and evaluates how your overall site structure, content organization, and authority signals influence your AI visibility.

Deep scans often uncover issues that single-page scans cannot detect, such as inconsistent schema markup, entity confusion, or weak topical coverage across your site.

After entering your URL and choosing your scan type, click "Run Scan" and let Structiq perform the crawl and analysis. Start with a <a href="/analyze" class="text-violet-400 hover:text-violet-300 underline focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-violet-500/50 rounded">free AI visibility scan</a> or see <a href="/pricing" class="text-violet-400 hover:text-violet-300 underline focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-violet-500/50 rounded">pricing</a> for the full audit.

Once the scan finishes, Structiq generates your AI Visibility Report.

At the top of the report you’ll see your AI Visibility Score, which ranges from 0 to 100. This score estimates how likely your website is to appear in AI-generated answers or be cited as a trusted source.

But the score itself is only the starting point. The real value comes from understanding the breakdown behind that score.

Structiq analyzes four major categories that influence how AI systems interpret your site:

Structure Score — evaluates how well your site is structured for machine understanding. This includes heading hierarchy, semantic HTML, and structured data such as schema markup.

Content Score — measures how clearly your content communicates topics. AI systems favor pages that explain concepts directly, answer questions clearly, and provide well-organized information.

Authority Signals — analyzes signals that indicate trust and credibility. This can include brand mentions, review signals, backlinks, and consistency of brand identity across the web.

Citation Readiness — estimates how easily AI systems can extract useful information from your content when generating answers.

Below the score breakdown, you’ll find one of the most important sections of the report: Top Fixes.

This section lists actionable improvements ranked by estimated impact. Each recommendation explains what the issue is, why it matters for AI visibility, and how much improvement it may bring to your score.

For example, Structiq may recommend adding FAQ schema or improving entity clarity. These structural signals make it easier for AI systems to extract and cite your content when answering questions.

When reviewing your report, it can be tempting to fix everything at once. The better strategy is to focus on the highest-impact improvements first.

Structiq ranks recommendations by expected impact and effort required, so the top fixes typically deliver the fastest gains.

Common quick wins include:

Adding structured data (schema markup) so AI systems better understand your content.

Improving heading structure so topics and subtopics are clearly organized.

Clarifying entities so AI models can easily identify your brand, products, and services.

Expanding FAQ content that answers common questions related to your topic.

After implementing the first few fixes, run another Structiq scan. This allows you to measure how the changes improved your score and citation likelihood.

Many users see noticeable improvements after implementing just two or three recommendations.

If you're using Structiq Pro, you can also unlock deeper insights such as competitor comparisons and prompt simulation. Prompt simulation tests how AI systems respond to real-world questions and whether your brand appears in potential answers.

Over time, improving AI visibility becomes a simple cycle:

Scan → Fix → Re-scan → Improve.

By repeating this process, you gradually strengthen the signals AI systems rely on when deciding which brands and sources to recommend.
