Why Thin Pages Give AI Nothing to Read (Mostly Menu and Footer)
On some of your pages, most of the words are the menu and the footer. Very little is the page saying something of its own, so there is not much for an AI tool to read or quote.
In your report
Pages are mostly navigation and footer
What this means
Every page has two kinds of text: the parts that repeat across the whole site (the menu, the header, the footer), and the part that belongs to that page alone.
Our check measures how much of each page is its own. This problem counts the pages where the repeated parts outweigh the rest. Contact pages, galleries and pages with one short paragraph are the usual ones.
Why it matters for AI
AI tools skip the repeated parts, because they say the same thing on every page. What is left is all they have to learn from and quote.
A page with two sentences of its own cannot answer many questions, however good it looks.

Give those pages more of their own content

AI Schema Gen cannot make this change from the dashboard: it works on the structured data of your pages, not on the pages themselves.
