AI Engine Optimization Audit

cubeish.co — AEO Analysis

Audit date: August 30, 2026  |  Target query: "custom eLearning development MENA"  |  Format: Single-page website
3/10
Poorly optimized for AI citation

Here's the weird part: the AI infrastructure is actually solid (robots.txt, llms.txt, AGENTS.md). But the page content itself is too thin, too generic, and missing the authority signals AI engines need before they'll cite you. Honestly, the llms.txt file tells AI models more about Cubeish than the actual website does.

AI Infrastructure

Strengths

1. Excellent robots.txt for AI crawlers

The robots.txt explicitly welcomes GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, anthropic-ai, Google-Extended, and CCBot with individual Allow: / directives. Most competitors haven't even thought about this yet.

2. Well-written llms.txt file

The /llms.txt clearly describes Cubeish's services, offices, key clients (UNICEF, Microsoft, ADNOC, PwC Academy, Samsung, AUC), and the GROW LMS product. This is the single best-structured piece of content on the entire domain for AI citation purposes.

3. AGENTS.md file exists

The /AGENTS.md provides guidance for AI assistants describing or citing Cubeish. Very few companies are doing this. It's a smart move.

4. FAQPage schema markup

Valid JSON-LD FAQPage schema with 3 question-answer pairs. Organization schema is also in place, covering both office addresses and a contact point. All of this helps AI systems parse page structure more reliably.

5. Bilingual capability

Working Arabic toggle with full RTL support. Arabic-language AI queries about eLearning are far less competitive than English, so Cubeish has a real edge here if the content backs it up.

Priority Fixes (Top 5)

1. Content is critically thin — 449 words for the entire site

449 words. That's all the body copy on the entire site. AI engines need real substance to extract and cite, and there just isn't enough here to work with. Competitor sites average 2,000 to 5,000 words across their service pages. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "best eLearning companies in MENA," cubeish.co gives those models almost nothing to cite.

Fix

Expand each of the 7 service descriptions from one-liners into 150 to 250 word sections covering: what the service is, who it's for, the methodology Cubeish uses, a specific example or outcome, and a differentiator. That alone takes the page from ~450 to ~2,000 words. Even better, create individual service pages.

2. Zero entity references on the actual page

The llms.txt names UNICEF, Microsoft, ADNOC, PwC Academy, GACA, Samsung, and AUC. None of those names appear on the actual homepage. The "Clients" section just says "Join this diverse range of partners now" next to unlabeled logos. AI models rely heavily on named entities to match queries, so if someone asks "Who built UNICEF's eLearning in Egypt?" they'll never get a Cubeish answer. The website doesn't mention UNICEF by name.

Fix

Add client names as text alongside or below logos. Create at least 3 case study sections: "UNICEF Digital Safety Program," "UNICEF Learning Passport Egypt," and one corporate client. Each needs: client name, challenge, solution, and measurable outcome. Even 100 words per case study dramatically increases entity coverage.

3. FAQ section has 3 vague, non-citable answers

Look, FAQ content is the single highest-leverage format for AI citation. AI assistants pull Q&A pairs directly into their responses. But all 3 current answers are non-answers: "depends on complexity," "depends on various factors." AI engines will skip that every time in favor of sources that give concrete information.

Fix

Expand to 8–12 questions with specific, concrete answers. Replace "depends on complexity" with actual ranges: "A typical 30-minute interactive eLearning module takes 6–10 weeks. A full simulation or VR experience takes 12–20 weeks." Replace "depends on various factors" with: "Projects typically range from $5,000 for a single training video to $50,000+ for an immersive VR simulation. We provide a detailed proposal after a free 30-minute consultation." Update the FAQPage schema to match.

4. No question-shaped headings anywhere on the page

AI engines match queries to content by semantic similarity. Nobody types "Broad Spectrum of SERVICES for Your Digital Success" into ChatGPT. But they do ask "What eLearning services does Cubeish offer?" Question-shaped headings mirror the way people actually talk to AI assistants.

Fix

Rewrite key H2s as questions: "CUBEISH SERVICES" → "What digital learning services does Cubeish provide?", "OUR SIMPLE PROCESS" → "How does Cubeish deliver eLearning projects?", "MEET OUR CLIENTS" → "Which organizations has Cubeish worked with?" Also fix the heading hierarchy: use H1 → H2 → H3 (currently skips H3/H4 entirely, jumping from H2 to H5).

5. No blog or content hub — zero long-form indexable content

AI models are trained on long-form, topically rich content, and that's what they retrieve from. No blog means zero presence in AI training data beyond the homepage. Someone asks "How to create effective compliance training?" or "eLearning trends in MENA 2026," and Cubeish simply won't come up. There's nothing for the model to pull from.

Fix

Launch a blog section with at least 5 foundational articles targeting high-intent AI queries: "How to choose an eLearning provider in the MENA region," "The cost of custom eLearning development in 2026," "How UNICEF used eLearning to reach 1M children in Egypt" (case study), "VR training vs traditional eLearning: when to use each," and "Arabic eLearning localization: challenges and best practices." Each should be 1,200–2,000 words with specific data.

Content Gaps

These are real questions people are asking AI assistants right now. Cubeish can't show up in the answers for any of them.

Structural Recommendations

Immediate: Fix what's on the page

  1. Add a lead summary paragraph within the first 100 words that directly answers "What is Cubeish and why choose them?" Include the founding year, number of clients served, and the UNICEF credential right in the opening.
  2. Fix heading hierarchy. Right now it jumps from H1 to H2 to H5/H6. Restructure to a proper H1, H2, H3 flow and make H2s question-shaped.
  3. Add a "Who we've worked with" section with named clients and 1-sentence project descriptions. This one change alone would add more citable entity content than everything else on the page combined.
  4. Link the GROW LMS page from the main navigation. There's a 23K-character page sitting at /grow.html that's completely invisible from the homepage.
  5. Add publication and last-updated dates in the footer or a meta tag. The current lastModified shows 01/01/1980, which is not a great look.
  6. Create a sitemap.xml. Currently returns a 404. Submit it to Google Search Console once it's live.
  7. Add llms-full.txt. The llms.txt is strong already. Extend it with a full-text version that includes all service descriptions, case studies, and FAQ content.

Short-term: Add depth

  1. Expand the single page into a multi-page site with individual service pages, case studies, an about/team page, and a blog.
  2. Add HowTo schema for the process section (currently just generic steps with no schema).
  3. Add Service schema for each of the 7 services — with provider, areaServed, and description properties.
  4. Add sameAs to Organization schema with links to LinkedIn, YouTube, and any other official profiles. AI models use these to verify entity identity across the web.
  5. Add hreflang tags for the English and Arabic versions so search and AI engines know which language to serve.

Sample Optimized Section

Here's what the "Services" section could look like with AEO principles applied:

Before

Broad Spectrum of SERVICES for Your Digital Success

Digital Learning Consultation — "Guiding businesses to the best learning tools and strategies to maximize their potential."

Educational Video Productions — "Crafting informative and engaging educational videos for a richer learning experience."

~20 words per service. No specifics, no methodology, no differentiator. Zero citable content.

After

What digital learning services does Cubeish provide?

Digital Learning Consultation — We audit your existing training programs, identify skill gaps using competency mapping, and design a learning strategy aligned to your KPIs. Past clients include ADNOC and PwC Academy Middle East. Engagements typically run 4–8 weeks and include a technology recommendation report, content roadmap, and ROI projection.

Educational Video Production — Our Cairo studio produces instructor-led, animated explainer, and scenario-based training videos in Arabic and English. We've delivered 200+ training videos for clients including Samsung and the Egyptian Banking Institute. Typical turnaround: 3–6 weeks per module.

~80 words per service. Named clients, specific numbers, methodology, timeline. Highly citable.

Recommended Schema Addition: Service
