Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AISO score?

An AISO score is defined as a 0-to-100 rating measuring website performance across SEO, readability, engagement, AEO, and accessibility.

What is AEO?

AEO refers to Answer Engine Optimization, the practice of formatting website content so AI tools can evaluate and recommend your contracting firm.

Why do general contractors need website optimization?

Property owners and developers use AI during contractor selection. Firms with documented project experience, qualifications, and service data get shortlisted.

What schema should general contractors use?

Use HomeAndConstructionBusiness schema with license, bonding, and service area. Add portfolio entries with project type and value range.

How do AI engines evaluate contractors?

AI reads project portfolios, qualification data, service descriptions, and safety records. Thin websites with only a phone number get overlooked.

Should contractors show bonding capacity on their website?

Yes. Bonding capacity is a key qualification for commercial work. Stating it publicly helps AI and prospects evaluate your firm's capability.

What accessibility issues affect contractor websites?

Project photo galleries without alt text, bid request forms without labels, and PDF-only safety documents.

How often should contractor websites be updated?

Add completed projects quarterly. Update licenses and insurance annually. Keep safety data current after each reporting period.

Methodology

Each website was scored using AISO Studio's production scoring engine across four dimensions:

AEO (30%) — AI Engine Optimization: direct answer format, FAQ patterns, structured content, citation signals, topical authority
SEO (20%) — Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, links, images, keyword optimization
Readability (25%) — Flesch reading ease with normalized scoring, sentence complexity, audience appropriateness
Engagement (25%) — Content hooks, calls to action, questions, lists, quotes, emphasis, paragraph variety

244 sites collected across US states using geographic search queries. Scores reflect the state of each website at time of audit.
