The way people find information has changed.
Has your website kept up?

AI search doesn’t work like classic rankings.
It extracts answers and cites sources it trusts.

If your content isn’t structured for extraction, you won’t be cited — which means you won’t be recommended.

Extract → Summarize → Cite Zero‑click is rising Citations build trust

The checklist gives you a prioritized roadmap (effort + impact) so your site becomes the source.

ChatGPT Search
Today
User: What’s the best [your product/service]?
Searching trusted sources
Assistant: I can suggest options, but I don’t have strong, citable sources for [Your Brand]. I’m citing sites that are easy to verify and extract.
User: Can you cite sources?
Compiling citations
Assistant: If a site isn’t structured for extraction (clear answers, proof, clean markup), it often won’t show up as a citation — even if it ranks in Google.

This isn’t a future problem.
It’s a right‑now problem.

Zero‑click searches are eating your traffic.
Competitors who crack this first become the default AI recommendation.
The best info is scattered across threads/videos/comments—with no prioritization.
You can spend months researching llms.txt, schema, bot rules…
Or you can start implementing today.

How it works

From Invisible → Cited (in 4 steps)

A repeatable workflow to increase the odds your site gets extracted and cited across AI search.

1

Baseline with benchmark queries

Run the AI Visibility Checks using 3–5 “money queries” to see if you’re mentioned, how you’re described, and which sources AI cites instead.

2

Prioritize quick wins

Filter High Impact + Low Effort and start with the fastest citation wins first.

3

Make key pages citation-ready

Implement the blocks AI can easily extract and verify (TL;DR, decision criteria, proof, FAQs, schema).

4

Re-check monthly & improve

Re-run the same benchmark queries, compare results, and keep implementing improvements. Visibility compounds over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions before you buy.

Is this just another SEO checklist?

No. SEO checklists optimize for Google’s ranking algorithm. This checklist optimizes for AI extraction and citation — a fundamentally different problem. You’ll find tips here no SEO checklist covers: llms.txt files, Speakable schema, negative definitions to prevent hallucinations, AI visibility checks (copy/paste prompts), and AI bot access monitoring.

I’m not technical. Can I use this?

Yes. Every tip includes plain-English implementation steps. For technical items (schema, robots.txt, server configs), the steps are specific enough to hand directly to a developer — or to follow yourself with basic guidance. Many tips are rated ★ (quick wins) that anyone can implement.

Will this work for my type of site?

The checklist covers: Content sites (blogs, publishers, guides), Ecommerce (product pages, collections, catalogs), SaaS/Tech (docs, APIs, software products), Local/Service businesses (service pages, local SEO), and Enterprise sites (multi-locale, large-scale). Use the “Applies To” filter to see only what’s relevant to you.

How is this different from free information online?

Three ways:
1. It’s complete — 200+ tips in one place, not scattered across 50 blog posts.
2. It’s prioritized — effort and impact ratings so you don’t waste time on low-value tasks.
3. It’s executable — step-by-step instructions in a filterable format, not paragraphs you have to translate into action.

What format is it delivered in?

You get access to a duplicatable Airtable base + a CSV export. The Airtable version has pre-built filtered views (High Impact, Low Effort, by Category, etc.). The CSV lets you import into any tool: Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Google Sheets, etc.

Do I get updates?

Yes. AI search is evolving fast, and so is this checklist. You’ll get access to updates as new tips are added or existing ones are refined. Currently at 206 tips and growing.

What’s the refund policy?

14-day money-back guarantee. If you buy it and implement a couple of tips, and decide it’s not useful for you — just reply to the delivery email with your results for a full refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions before you buy.

I’ve never heard of “AI visibility.” Why should I care?

More and more people are using AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) to find products, services, and answers, instead of typing into Google. When someone asks “What’s the best [your product]?”, AI pulls from sites it can easily extract and trust. If your site isn’t set up for that, you won’t be recommended. This checklist tells you exactly what to fix, even if you’ve never thought about AI search before.

Is this just another SEO checklist?

No. SEO checklists optimize for Google’s ranking algorithm. This checklist optimizes for AI extraction and citation, a fundamentally different problem. You’ll find tips here no SEO checklist covers: llms.txt files, Speakable schema, negative definitions to prevent hallucinations, AI visibility checks (copy/paste prompts), and AI bot access monitoring.
