Manufacturing & industrial: how AI-ready is it?
Manufacturing scores 82/100 but 65% of top pages never phrase a heading as the question a buyer asks.
mean AEO score / 100 (48 top-ranking pages)
of 13 industries for AI-readiness
vs the 83.6 cross-industry average
Industrial content is technical and substantial, yet structured for spec sheets rather than answer engines. Two thirds of top pages skip question-shaped headings, four in ten have no FAQ, and nearly half lack schema. The sector that documents everything is oddly hard for an AI to summarise.
