OVERT OPS
60 tags. 14 categories. The first platform that audits traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization — the discipline of getting cited by AI systems, featured snippets, and Google AI Overviews. AI-powered remediation via on-premise Ollama or Anthropic Claude. 870 verified tests behind every scan.
Built For Operators Who Refuse To Guess.
Overt Ops is a search intelligence platform built for operators who refuse to guess. It executes an industry-leading 60-tag audit across 14 scoring categories, generates AI-powered remediation using on-premise Ollama (zero data exfiltration) or Anthropic Claude, and delivers before/after impact projections with surgical precision.
No other platform on the market combines traditional SEO scoring with Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — the discipline of getting cited by AI systems, featured snippets, and Google AI Overviews. Overt Ops is the first to treat AEO as a first-class intelligence target.
"We don't predict the future of search. We build it."
43 of 60 tags resolved automatically via deterministic extraction and project profile — no AI, no credits, no waiting. The remaining 17 tags are AI-enhanced: not just filling in blanks, but improving existing tags with full page context — rewriting to conform to length rules, proper syntax, and the signals that SEO and AEO engines actually expect. Two scan modes: Scan & Remediate (zero AI, zero credits) and Scan & AI Remediate (AI per page with live progress bar).
Three Levels of Intelligence
The Command Center
Scan your entire domain, track quality scores across all pages, remediate in one click. See which pages need attention, how your site scores as a whole, and when each page was last scanned. Real-time WebSocket progress — no spinner-and-pray.
Full Transparency — Every Tag, Every Diagnosis
Drill into any page and see every one of the 60 tags scored across 14 categories. Each tag gets a diagnosis-specific prompt — the AI is told exactly what the problem is (missing, too short, too long, placeholder) and given a tailored instruction to fix it precisely.
Pay For What You Use. Cache The Rest.
43 of 60 tags are resolved without AI — zero credits. 17 tags are AI-enhanced: improved with full page context, conforming to length rules and proper syntax. Cached results are never re-charged. The credits dashboard shows your balance, cost per scan, and full transaction history.
Answer Engine Optimization
AI systems are replacing click-through search. Featured snippets, Google AI Overviews, and ChatGPT-style answer engines now sit above the traditional results — and they cite a different set of pages. Overt Ops is the first platform to audit, score, and optimize for that battlefield.
SCHEMA DETECTION
FAQ, HowTo, Q&A, and Speakable structured data identification — with validation against Schema.org specifications and missing-schema opportunity detection.
FEATURED SNIPPET READINESS
Optimization for all four snippet types: paragraph (direct answer), list (ordered/unordered), table (comparison/data), and definition (is/refers to) patterns.
AI CITATION READINESS
Entity clarity scoring, factual density analysis, source attribution evaluation, unique data detection (original research and proprietary statistics), and authoritative tone assessment.
CONVERSATIONAL QUERY MATCHING
Automatic extraction of the questions your page answers, answer quality scoring per question, and gap analysis for unanswered high-value queries.
AI OVERVIEW OPTIMIZATION
Structured data completeness for AI consumption, conciseness scoring (AI prefers dense, direct content), authority signals, multi-perspective detection, credibility indicators.
CONTENT STRUCTURE SCORING
Question-format heading analysis, concise answer block detection (40–60 word targets), heading hierarchy evaluation, and list/table/definition element scoring.
Web standards move faster than the SEO tooling industry. Overt Ops ships with first-class support for tag types that are still emerging in the wild — the ones AI assistants, voice readers, and next-generation answer engines are starting to consume right now. We treat experimental tags as a first-class intelligence target, not an afterthought.
SPEAKABLE SCHEMA
Schema.org's experimental markup that tells voice assistants which sections of your page can be read aloud. Almost no other auditor checks for it.
QA & HOWTO SCHEMA
Question/Answer and HowTo structured data — the formats Google and AI Overviews preferentially cite. Validated against the latest Schema.org spec.
SITELINKS SEARCHBOX
Structured data that makes Google render a search box directly inside your SERP listing — supported, valuable, and routinely missed.
EXTENSIBLE TAG DEFINITIONS
New standards emerge constantly. Overt Ops supports adding new tag types and scoring logic dynamically — no code release required. Stay current as the spec evolves.
AI OVERVIEW SIGNALS
Google AI Overviews are barely two years old — and there's no official spec for what gets cited. Overt Ops scores conciseness, factual density, entity clarity, and authority signals for AI consumption.
APPLE WEB APP TAGS
Auto-detects whether your site qualifies as an Apple Web App and recommends the corresponding meta tags — the kind of polish most auditors don't bother with.
As web standards evolve, new tags emerge. Overt Ops supports adding new tag types and their scoring logic dynamically — no code release required. The auditor stays current with the latest standards or industry-specific tag definitions automatically.
43 of 60 Tags Resolved Without AI
Most SEO tools charge per query. Overt Ops resolves the majority of tags before AI ever runs — from your HTML and your project profile. The remaining 17 tags are AI-enhanced: not just filling missing values, but improving existing ones with full page context — rewriting to conform to length rules, proper syntax, and the signals SEO and AEO engines expect. Two scan modes: Scan & Remediate (zero AI, zero credits) and Scan & AI Remediate (AI per page with live progress bar).
8-Stage Scan Pipeline
Every scan flows through a deterministic pipeline. Stage status updates in real time so you can see exactly where a scan is — no spinner-and-pray. Failures in any stage are recorded per-stage so later stages still run when possible.
Six Operations. One Mission.
A 17-field site profile resolves up to 15 tags automatically — without consuming AI credits. Click Auto-Discover and Overt Ops crawls your homepage, streaming results field-by-field over SSE.

- Live URL verification via background HEAD requests
- Auto-generates manifest.json from profile data
- Apple Web App auto-detection
Choose your AI engine: on-premise Ollama for zero data exfiltration, or Anthropic Claude for maximum intelligence quality. Each tag gets a diagnosis-specific prompt — not generic templates.
- 17 tags AI-enhanced, 43 resolved without AI
- Quality checks: spelling, weak language, keyword stuffing
- Persistent caching — cached fixes never re-charged
- Cloud mode: Anthropic Claude with diagnosis-specific prompts
- Local mode: Ollama on-premise, zero external transmission
