Understanding Results & AI

How to Read and Interpret an SEOdiag Audit Report

When a website crawl finishes, the results dashboard consolidates findings into three strategic layers designed for agencies and consultants:

---

1. The AI Executive Summary (Claude 3.5 Cognitive Engine)

Prominently displayed at the top of your dashboard is the AI Executive Summary block.

Unlike traditional crawlers that present raw metric tables, SEOdiag processes the full crawl dataset with Claude 3.5 (Anthropic) to draw logical conclusions.

💬 Traditional Crawlers vs. SEOdiag AI Diagnosis: * Legacy Tool: "Found 450 URLs with HTTP 404 status code." * SEOdiag AI: "The site suffered a severe organic drop because a recent /blog/ migration left 450 URLs without 301 redirects, consuming 40% of Googlebot's crawl budget."

2. Technical Error Severity Matrix

Every issue is categorized across 4 priority levels to optimize developer bandwidth:

Severity	Impact Criteria	Typical Examples	Required Action
🔴 Critical	Blocks indexation or de-indexes key pages	Accidental noindex tag, Robots.txt disallow, 301 redirect loops	Fix within 24 hours
🟠 High	Penalizes ranking or page load speed	Core Web Vitals LCP > 4s, Duplicate title tags, 3+ redirect chains	Next Sprint Priority
🟡 Medium	Wastes crawl budget or lowers SERP CTR	Missing meta descriptions, images without alt, weak H1 structure	Schedule in Backlog
🔵 Low	Best practice recommendations	Uncanonicalized URL query params, uppercase URL paths	Secondary Cleanup

3. AI Citability & GEO Score (Generative Engine Optimization)

SEOdiag checks if public pages hold sufficient information density to be extracted by AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).

• GEO Score 85-100: Optimal structure, clear Q&A blocks, and complete Schema.org structured data.
• GEO Score < 60: High risk of AI search invisibility due to Thin Content or lack of summary tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Technical Site Health Score calculated?

The Site Health Score (0 to 100) weights detected errors by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) divided by total crawled page volume.

Which Artificial Intelligence model generates the executive summaries?

SEOdiag uses Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet, feeding the full crawl dataset to generate natural language business summaries for non-technical stakeholders.

What does a low GEO / AI Citability Score mean?

It indicates that pages suffer from Thin Content or lack structured Q&A answers (Schema/TL;DR), preventing ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity from citing your brand.
