🔍 What’s Inside the Checklist?

This isn’t your average SEO to-do list. We went deep. Here's a sneak peek at the key categories we tackle—and why they matter:

1. Content Structure Built for AI Parsing

AI loves clean, structured, skimmable content. We’ve included:

• Q&A-style headings that mimic real prompts (“What is X?”, “How does X work?”)

• TL;DR summaries and definition boxes

• Pros/cons, use cases, and comparison tables

• Keyword variants placed in headers

• The answer right at the top—within the first 100 words

All of these formats make it easier for language models to extract precise answers from your page and present them in overviews and summaries.

2. Technical SEO That Signals Credibility

Most people think technical SEO is just about speed or indexing. Not anymore. Our checklist includes:

• Schema markup types that boost your AI discoverability (like FAQ, HowTo, Speakable)

• Named anchor links that LLMs love for specific citations

• Canonicals, clean robots.txt, and low crawl-index latency

• Core Web Vitals and mobile-first performance tuning

Remember, AI models need crawlable, interpretable content at scale. If your technical SEO is sloppy, you’re invisible—even if your writing is great.

3. Trust & Authority Signals (LLMs Care!)

AI doesn’t just grab content—it looks for authority.

That’s why we highlight elements like:

• Author bios with real-world credentials

• External citations to trustworthy sources

• Mentions of brands, tools, and studies AI models recognize

• Internal commentary, quotes, and original insights

Bonus: We suggest adding a “Why Trust Us” section at the top of key pages. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in LLM perception.

4. Prompt Engineering for Visibility Testing

You shouldn’t just optimize in the dark. We included tested prompts you can run in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to see if your content is being cited.

If you’re not showing up, reverse-engineer who is. Analyze their structure, language, and links. Iterate. Repeat.

5. Format Flexibility and Repurposing

AI engines are showing a clear bias for:

• Pages with videos, transcripts, and alt text

• Embedded tools and interactive content

• Summarized and chunked content (like Reddit threads or downloadable PDFs)

• Smart image labeling and descriptive filenames

We also recommend repurposing blog posts into multiple formats. One great article can be a video, a LinkedIn thread, and a calculator—giving you 3x the chance of getting cited.

6. Positioning: It’s Not Just About Rank Anymore

Let this sink in: AI citations now come from page 2, 3, even 10+ of Google results.

Our checklist helps you focus less on ranking #1 and more on being the best answer. You’ll learn how to:

• Build authority through content clusters

• Target “how”, “vs”, “best”, and long-tail queries

• Track citation sources through prompts and logs

• Monitor traffic from zero-click AI engines (like Brave and Perplexity)
