What is Readiness analysis in the GEO audit?
To improve the quality and visibility of your content in AI-powered search (such as ChatGPT), OtterlyAI evaluates how well your content is structured, written, and optimized for AI understanding and human usefulness.
Readiness analysis is part of a Content Checker and focuses on whether your content is clear, coherent, modular, and aligned with how real people search for and consume information.
Each category in the Readiness analysis:
- Is scored from 0 to 100%
- Includes specific recommendations and suggestions on how to improve that aspect of the content
Categories are:
Semantic Repetition
Checks whether ideas are unnecessarily repeated or phrased too similarly across sections, which can dilute clarity and reduce usefulness for both readers and AI systems.
Summary Block
Evaluates whether the content includes a concise, high-level summary that clearly communicates the core message and can be easily extracted for previews, answers, or overviews.
Section Integrity
Ensures each section has a clear purpose, stays on topic, and delivers a complete thought making content easier to interpret, reference, and reuse.
Modular Content Enhancements
Assesses how well the content is broken into self-contained modules that can stand alone, be reordered, or be reused in AI-generated summaries and responses.
External Link Suggestions
Identifies opportunities to strengthen credibility and context by linking to relevant, authoritative external resources where appropriate.
Illustration Opportunities
Highlights where diagrams, charts, screenshots, or visuals could improve comprehension and support key ideas.
Jargon and Metaphors
Checks for unnecessary jargon, vague metaphors, or overly abstract language that may reduce clarity or confuse non-expert readers.
Readability
Evaluates sentence structure, length, and flow to ensure the content is easy to scan, understand, and process both by humans and AI systems.
Paragraph Cohesion
Measures how well sentences within a paragraph connect logically and build toward a clear point, rather than feeling fragmented or list-like.
Tone and Language Check
Ensures the tone is appropriate, consistent, and aligned with the intended audience: clear, confident, and informative without sounding overly promotional or robotic.
Clarity and Assertiveness
Checks whether statements are direct and decisive, avoiding hedging, ambiguity, or filler language that weakens authority and usefulness.
Acronyms and Terminology
Ensures acronyms and specialized terms are introduced clearly and used consistently, reducing friction for both new readers and AI interpretation.
Specificity
Evaluates whether the content provides concrete explanations and actionable detail rather than vague or generic statements.
Together, the scores from each category are combined to produce an overall Readiness score, expressed as a percentage from 0 to 100%. This overall score provides a high-level view of how well a piece of content meets quality, clarity, and AI compatibility standards, while the individual category scores highlight exactly where improvements can be made and which changes will have the greatest impact.
