Priority opportunity: AEO

Google's lowest engine is AEO at 74 — a 26-point gap to a perfect score. That is where citability is won or lost first.

Summary

Google LLC at google.com holds an exceptionally strong structural foundation — confirmed Wikidata entity (Q95), standalone Wikipedia article, Knowledge Graph panel, dense authoritative citations, and consistent cross-source entity identity — yet faces two verifiable structural gaps: google.com's own homepage schema markup deployment cannot be confirmed as comprehensive beyond basic Organization (no third-party audit surfaced this run confirming Product, BreadcrumbList, or HowTo types sitewide), and the May 2026 deprecation of FAQ rich results removes a previously relied-upon SERP feature, requiring a content-architecture pivot toward answer-first page structures that serve AI extraction without depending on deprecated markup for SERP display. The brand's most urgent structural opportunity is deepening answer-first content architecture across its product and developer pages to maximize extractability by generative engines now that FAQ rich results are gone.

The gap, closed.
