Can AI find your website?
14 moves to get your Framer site cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI Overviews. Built for designers handing sites over, useful for founders running their own.
AI doesn't rank pages. It picks answers. Over 60% of searches now end without a click. If ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini can't find your site, your customers won't either. Run through this before you hit publish.
Framer Expert
Site Settings > Page SEO. One stray noindex and AI can't see you. Check every important page on the live site, not just the project.
Upload it in Framer via Domains > Files. List your real source pages: docs, pricing, comparison, FAQs, glossary. Skip thin landers and login screens.
Every page. No "welcome to" intros, no warm-up paragraphs. Lead with "X is..." or "X does..." and a real fact. That's the block AI engines quote.
"What is..." / "How does..." / "Best [thing] for [audience]." AI agents read your headings before they read your prose. Match the query, not the brand.
Five to eight questions, 30-50 word answers. Direct, no filler. Skip FAQPage schema (restricted to gov & healthcare now), the format itself is what AI picks up.
Ryan's move
Use the Auto Alt Text plugin from the Framer Marketplace. Bulk-describes every image with AI in one pass. Missing alt = invisible image to AI engines.
Ryan's move
Site Settings > Custom Code > Start of Head. JSON-LD with name, URL, logo & sameAs links to your LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Crunchbase. This is your entity card.
Headline, author, datePublished, dateModified. Pull values straight from CMS fields so it stays in sync when you update the post. No author = no quote.
Ryan's move
search.google.com/test/rich-results. Paste your URL, hit run. You want all schema items showing "valid". Broken JSON-LD does nothing for AEO. Test every page that holds schema.
LCP under 2.5s. INP under 200ms. CLS under 0.1. Slow sites get skipped, not penalised. Cut heavy video, oversized PNGs & third-party widgets you don't truly need.
Name, address, phone. Match it across your site, schema, Google Business Profile & socials. One mismatch and AI engines second-guess whether you're a real entity.
Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Wikipedia if you can earn it. Brand mentions correlate roughly 3x more with AI citations than backlinks do. Off-site is the unlock.
Ryan's move
framer.com/aeo. Free. 10 seconds. Tells you exactly what's blocking ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini from finding your site. Run it before launch, run it again a week later.
