AI Website Optimization - made easier...
Executive Summary (For Busy Leaders)
Artificial intelligence is now one of the primary ways women search for pregnancy help. If your website is unclear, outdated, or difficult for AI to interpret, your center may not appear — even when you offer exactly what she needs.
This article outlines four practical, low-lift website improvements that help AI tools accurately understand, trust, and recommend your pregnancy center:
Adding structured data so AI clearly recognizes who you are and what you offer
Refining website language to match how women actually search for help
Strengthening internal links so both visitors and AI can easily navigate your site
Using basic analytics to monitor what’s working and improve over time
These steps can be implemented gradually by most teams — and when done well, they increase visibility, trust, and appointments without increasing ad spend. For centers that want to move faster and avoid costly mistakes, expert guidance ensures your mission is represented clearly and accurately across today’s AI-driven search landscape.
Hey there — Sandy here. 💛
If you’ve been following along, you already know this series isn’t about turning your pregnancy center into a tech company. It’s about helping real women find real help — faster.
In Parts 1 and 2, we talked about why AI matters and how to take first steps without overwhelming your staff or volunteers. Now, in Part 3, we’re getting very practical.
These are simple website tweaks that help AI tools (like ChatGPT, Google, and Bing) understand your site clearly — so when a woman searches for help, your center is easier to find and easier to trust.
No massive redesigns. No fancy tech jargon. Just smart, manageable improvements that:
Help your clients understand what you offer
Allow DIY-minded teams to make progress on their own
Show the real value of having an expert partner guide the process
I’ve walked dozens of centers through this exact phase, and I promise — this is doable.
What Does “AI-Friendly” Actually Mean?
Let’s clear something up right away.
Being “AI-friendly” does not mean gaming the system or chasing trends. It simply means your website is clear, organized, and human — which just happens to be exactly what AI looks for.
AI tools pull answers from websites that:
-
Clearly explain services
-
Use everyday language
-
Answer real questions women are asking
Questions like:
-
“I think I’m pregnant — what do I do?”
-
“Where can I get a free pregnancy test near me?”
-
“Is my visit confidential?”
When your site answers those questions well, AI tools are far more likely to surface your center in search results, summaries, and even voice responses.
We’ve seen centers experience noticeable increases in calls, appointments, and walk-ins simply because AI finally understood what they offer.
1. Use Structured Data: Help AI Read Your Site Correctly
Think of structured data as labels on your website.
It doesn’t change how your site looks to visitors — but it helps AI clearly understand who you are, where you’re located, and what services you provide.
What is structured data?
Structured data is a small piece of behind-the-scenes code (called schema) that tells AI things like:
You’re a nonprofit pregnancy center
Your location and hours
Services like pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, counseling, and education
Without this, AI has to guess. With it, AI can be accurate.
Why it matters
When someone searches:
“Free pregnancy test near me”
AI can confidently recommend your center — sometimes even reading your info aloud in voice search results.
Centers using structured data often see higher visibility and stronger click-through rates because search engines trust their information more.
How to add it (the easy way)
You don’t need to be a developer.
Use Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper (free)
Select your page type and highlight your info
Generate the code
Add it to your site header or use a WordPress plugin like Rank Math
Test it with Google’s Rich Results Test
2. Refine Your Content: Write How People Actually Speak
This step helps both AI and real women.
One of the biggest issues we see? Websites that sound professional — but not personal.
The problem with jargon
Phrases like:
“Comprehensive maternal services”
“Holistic support resources”
…aren’t how people search.
Women type things like:
“I’m pregnant and scared”
“I need help but don’t want anyone to know.
AI prioritizes content that sounds human — because that’s what users want.
How to improve your wording
Replace formal language with everyday phrases
Clearly list services (free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, counseling)
Add question-style headings, such as:
What if I’m not sure what to do next?
Is my appointment confidential?
Write like you’re talking to someone who just picked up the phone for the first time.
This builds trust, improves clarity, and strengthens what Google calls E-E-A-T — experience, expertise, authority, and trust.
3. Strengthen Internal Links: Make Your Site Easy to Navigate
Internal links are simply links between pages on your own website — and they matter more than most people realize.
Why internal links help
They:
-
Show AI how your pages relate to each other
-
Help visitors find the help they need faster
-
Increase time spent on your site
Simple improvements
-
Link blogs to relevant services
-
Use descriptive link text (not “click here”)
-
Create topic groups (testing → counseling → support resources)
Make sure your site has a sitemap (most platforms handle this automatically)
This helps AI see your center as a trusted authority — not just a single page floating online.
4. Monitor & Improve: Let Data Guide You
Once these tweaks are in place, the next step is paying attention.
You don’t need to analyze numbers daily — just consistently.
Helpful free tools
Google Analytics 4 – see where visitors come from and what they read
Google Search Console – see how your pages appear in search and AI summaries
What to watch for
Pages people leave quickly → simplify language
Services pages with low views → improve wording and links
New traffic sources from AI platforms
