What makes a school website more AI-ready

Why schools should care
More parents use search in conversational ways. Some rely on AI-generated summaries. If the school's information is poorly structured, the wrong message may get surfaced or key facts may be missed.
Start with structure
Schools do not need complicated tricks. They need clean structure, useful pages, and accurate content. A school website audit can show what should be rewritten, reorganized, or surfaced more clearly.
