AIDE check markdown-negotiation — under the content category. Learn what it measures, why it matters and how to fix it.

Profiles using this check: ai_ready

Why it matters

Most of the signals AI agents and classic search engines use come from content structure: heading hierarchy, readability, language tagging, answer blocks. If structure is broken, even high-quality copy can't be parsed correctly.

How AIDE tests it

AIDE's scanner inspects your HTML, response headers, and where applicable external signals to evaluate markdown-negotiation, then returns PASS / WARNING / FAIL / SKIPPED against the threshold. Weight: 0.9 points, severity: medium.

How to fix it

  • Exactly one <h1>, then a clean <h2>/<h3> hierarchy.
  • Summarise the page topic in a single sentence inside the first paragraph.
  • Use question headings followed by direct-answer blocks (50–150 chars).
