Technical Structure Score sample chart

What is it?

The Technical Structure Score evaluates each crawled page across four dimensions that AI models use to understand your content. Pages are scored 0–100, then aggregated to a project-level score.

The four dimensions

Schema (40 points)

  • J1: JSON-LD present on page (10 pts)
  • J2: Valid structure (8 pts)
  • J3: Relevant properties included (11 pts)
  • J4: Coverage of AEO-relevant schema types (11 pts)
Morphiq Labs checks for 17 AEO-relevant schema types including Organization, Product, FAQPage, HowTo, Article, SoftwareApplication, WebApplication, OfferCatalog, VideoObject, ItemList, Review, and Person.

Metadata (30 points)

  • M1: Title tag present and descriptive (8 pts)
  • M2: Meta description present and aligned (8 pts)
  • M3: Canonical URL set (6 pts)
  • M4: Open Graph tags present (4 pts)
  • M5: Twitter Card tags present (4 pts)

FAQ (20 points)

  • Scored as min(count × 5, 20)
  • Only evaluated on relevant page types: home, pricing, features, product, solutions, blog
  • Contact, demo, login, signup, and legal pages are excluded

Content (10 points)

  • C1: Word count ≥ 300 (5 pts)
  • C2: At least 3 paragraphs (5 pts)

Per-page total score

Each page’s score is the sum of its four dimension scores, for a maximum of 100 points: Page Score=Schema (0–40)+Metadata (0–30)+FAQ (0–20)+Content (0–10)\text{Page Score} = \text{Schema (0–40)} + \text{Metadata (0–30)} + \text{FAQ (0–20)} + \text{Content (0–10)}

Why these four?

  • Schema (40 pts) — The most direct machine-readable signal; weighted the highest.
  • Metadata (30 pts) — Helps models understand page purpose and intent.
  • FAQ (20 pts) — Maps directly to how users query AI models.
  • Content (10 pts) — Ensures pages have enough substance to be cited.
Heading hierarchy and semantic HTML were excluded because users on platforms like Webflow and Shopify have limited control over them.

From page scores to project score

Morphiq Labs aggregates per-page scores into a single Technical Structure Score for your project — the average Page Score across the key pages Morphiq Labs crawls for your domain. This gives you a single number between 0 and 100 that reflects:
“On average, how well structured is our site for AI systems to crawl, parse, and reuse?”

Score interpretation

  • 0–39: Significant gaps — AI models may struggle to parse your pages
  • 40–69: Partial coverage — some dimensions need attention
  • 70–100: Well-structured — your site is readable by AI systems
