Priority opportunity: AEO

IKEA'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

IKEA at ikea.com is a structurally strong global retail entity with a confirmed Wikidata record (Q54078), a standalone Wikipedia article, dense authoritative third-party citations, and active editorial coverage through July 2026 — giving it a high GEO baseline — but its AEO readiness is constrained by unconfirmed answer-first content architecture and schema-drift risk across its massive, dynamically priced product catalog. The most critical verifiable gap is the absence of confirmed, complete Product + MerchantReturnPolicy + AggregateRating schema at scale on ikea.com SKU pages, a structural deficiency that limits rich-result eligibility and machine-readable product signals precisely when IKEA is aggressively expanding its U.S. e-commerce footprint (FY25 U.S. e-commerce: $1.9B).

The gap, closed.
