Priority opportunity: AEO

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

Summary

Yum! Brands (yum.com) carries strong GEO structural readiness — confirmed Wikipedia article, Wikidata entity Q668737, dense named-outlet citations, and a LinkedIn presence with 320K+ followers — but yum.com itself is a corporate investor-relations hub, not a consumer-facing answer engine, leaving it without confirmed answer-first content architecture, sitewide BreadcrumbList or LocalBusiness schema, or featured-snippet ownership observable in this run. The brand's most urgent structural gap is the absence of a dedicated, schema-rich digital hub that narrates its post-Pizza Hut pivot and Byte by Yum! technology leadership in extractable, answer-formatted content.

The gap, closed.
