Each action below shows its own projected lift on the specific pillar it targets. We don't sum projections across actions — overlap math + headroom physics live in the per-action card and the methodology.
Per-action projected lift is calibrated against AEO Owl's tactic library (Calibration v1) — never invented by the AI model that writes the diagnosis. Bounded by remaining pillar headroom. See methodology.html §04 for the rules.
AI can't reach you Fast fix
The engine would cite you but can't parse or find your content. Crawl access, rendering, schema and freshness fixes. Fast to ship, fast to move the score.
AI doesn't know you yet Slow build
The engine can reach you but doesn't trust or rank you yet. Authority signals — reviews, backlinks, third-party mentions. Slower, but more durable.

Technical pre-flight

binary checks on rainapp.com · root cause behind several actions
Crawler access
robots.txt allows AI bots
GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended all permitted. Not the bottleneck.
Rendering
Client-side rendered
Key claims (pricing, integrations) load via JS — ChatGPT likely never sees them. Drives the retrievability action below.
Schema markup
No Product / Organization schema
Nothing for engines to parse into structured facts. Drives the retrievability action below.
Pre-flight pending — run an audit to populate crawler / rendering / schema checks.
Priority reflects impact on your AI Visibility Score — P0 moves it most. Within each group, highest-impact first.

P0 Win the questions you already touch Content AI can't reach you
Diagnosis Finding 01
You're cited on 7 of 10 Perplexity queries but 0 on ChatGPT and Gemini. The content exists and is retrievable — the other engines read the same sources and simply don't surface you. This is a distribution gap, not a content-quality gap.
Prescription
Harden the pages Perplexity already cites — structured comparison tables, explicit pricing, unambiguous claims — then resubmit them for re-crawl on the engines that stay silent.

P0 Make your page retrievable for ChatGPT & Gemini Technical AI can't reach you
Diagnosis Finding 03
Zero citations on the two highest-traffic engines. The pre-flight above is the why: your page is client-side rendered with no Product schema — the crawlers fetch the page but can't parse your pricing or integration claims into facts.
Prescription
Server-render the key claims, add Organization & Product JSON-LD schema, and restructure headings to be citation-friendly (question-shaped H2s with direct answers beneath).

Diagnosis Finding 06
DailyPay's lead is built on the review domains the engines trust most — and you appear on none of them. When AI answers EWA questions, it reaches for G2 and Capterra, sees DailyPay, and doesn't see you.
Prescription
Seed and actively maintain profiles on the domains below, then pursue inclusion in "top EWA providers" roundups that the engines cite verbatim.

Diagnosis Finding 04
You score 0 citations on enterprise-fit (Q3) and ADP-integration (Q7) questions — both high commercial intent. The engines have nothing of yours to cite on either topic.
Prescription
Publish dedicated, evidence-backed pages targeting Q3 and Q7 — named integrations, enterprise security posture, customer proof.

P2 Build authority backlinks for engine coverage Authority AI doesn't know you yet
Diagnosis Finding 09
Breadth — 4 of 8 engines — is the ceiling on your score. The silent engines (Mistral, DeepSeek, AI Overviews) weight domain authority signals you don't yet have.
Prescription
Pursue authoritative, topical backlinks from fintech and HR-tech publications. The slowest lever, but the most durable — it compounds across every engine at once.
