Technical AEO Explained: Crawlability, Schema, JavaScript, and Site Health

Learn the technical foundations of AEO and how they affect AI visibility. This lesson covers crawlability, structured data, JavaScript, and site health. Technical AEO focuses on whether AI systems can access and understand your content. Many SEO fundamentals still apply, including site structure, internal linking, page speed, and clean HTML. But AI visibility also depends on how well your site can be processed by crawlers and retrieval systems. A major issue is JavaScript. If important content only appears after JavaScript loads, AI systems may miss it. Structured data also helps because it gives additional context about what a page contains. Log files and crawler behavior can reveal which bots are accessing your content and how often. Technical AEO is not about overcomplicating your site. It is about making sure your best content is accessible, readable, and properly labeled for both search engines and AI systems.
