Priority opportunity: AEO

American Express's lowest engine is AEO at 58 — a 42-point gap to a perfect score. That is where citability is won or lost first.

Summary

American Express (americanexpress.com) is a structurally strong entity with a fully confirmed Wikipedia article, Wikidata record (Q194360), active LinkedIn and Crunchbase presence, dense editorial citation across named outlets, and Q1 2026 revenues of $18.9 billion — giving it near-maximum GEO entity signals. Its primary structural gaps are the absence of confirmed product-level and card-comparison schema markup on americanexpress.com (no Product, FinancialProduct, or BreadcrumbList types surfaced in this run), and a thin answer-first content architecture on key card and commercial product pages that limits extractability for structured-answer surfaces.

The gap, closed.
