The American Quiz — SEO / AEO Comparison

Live site today vs. prototype redesign

A clear, honest checklist of crawl, on-page, content architecture, and answer-engine readiness — so Randy and the DPI team can see what ships with the redesign and what still needs go-live plumbing. These are readiness scores, not ranking predictions.

Columns: Live site today (theamericanquiz.com, audited 2026-09-10) · Prototype redesign (local HTML). Pass = 2 · Warn / Opportunity = 1 · Gap = 0. Proto technical items labeled “Designed for go-live · add at launch” score as Opportunity — not full Pass.

What this redesign unlocks

Clean title and share image so citizenship searchers and social previews recognize the real product — not a broken OG asset.
Public FAQ and Modules pages that give Google and answer engines dedicated, quotable surfaces (not one long homepage).
A sample experience visitors can actually browse — instead of an empty reader host.
Clear DPI operator naming and USCIS non-affiliation language ready for FAQ / footer / legal.
Register-forward Get Started path, with public marketing URLs that stay public (no soft login walls on typed FAQ/About paths).
Schema, robots.txt, and XML sitemap designed for go-live — checklist-ready so launch plumbing is obvious, not implied.
Stronger entity clarity against trivia “American Quiz” apps through product-specific titles, FAQ, and civics positioning.
