What's inside the checklist
01
Self-contained answersEvery key page states the answer up front, so an AI model can quote it without needing extra context.
02
Question-shaped headings & TL;DRH2/H3 are phrased as the real questions people ask, with a short summary near the top of the page.
03
Valid Schema.org markupOrganization, Article, FAQPage and Breadcrumb structured data are present and pass validation.
04
Sourced, factual statementsClaims are backed by data and sources that language models already treat as trustworthy.
05
Freshness signalsVisible “updated” dates and genuinely current content tell AI systems the page is maintained.
06
Entity clarityYour brand, people and services are named consistently, with an About page and sameAs links.
07
Crawlable for AI botsrobots.txt allows GPTBot, PerplexityBot and friends, and content is in the HTML — not JS-only.
08
Fast, server-rendered pagesAnswers ship as real HTML with green Core Web Vitals, so crawlers get the content instantly.
09
FAQ / people-also-ask coverageThe follow-up questions users actually ask are answered directly on the page.
10
Semantic internal linkingRelated pages are linked with descriptive anchors that describe the destination, not “click here”.
11
Original, non-boilerplate copyText is genuinely yours — templated filler is the first thing an AI answer skips over.
12
Author & expertise signalsBylines, credentials and E-E-A-T cues show a real expert stands behind the content.
13
Correct hreflang & localizationEach language version is properly linked so models surface the right locale to the right user.
14
Measured AI visibilityYou actually track mentions and citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity and other assistants over time.
