What Belongs in a GEO Audit Deliverable: A Framework for Agencies Selling AI-Search-Visibility Work
Agencies are pricing "AI search audits" without agreeing on what one contains. Here's a defensible structure — what to measure, how to present it, and what the research does and doesn't support.
AI Crawler Log Analysis: What to Measure
A precise guide to filtering server logs for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot traffic, verifying which requests are real, and tracking the metrics that actually predict AI-search visibility.
Organization Schema Audit for Brand Consistency: A Step-by-Step Guide
Fragmented Organization and LocalBusiness markup — a different logo on the pricing page, a stale address in the footer schema, a sameAs link to a dead Twitter handle — quietly breaks the entity signal AI search systems use to recognize a brand. Here's how to audit it and fix it.
The PDF Accessibility Checklist That Also Fixes Your AI-Search Visibility
Tagged reading order, real alt text, and searchable text aren't just accessibility requirements — they're the same technical fixes that let Google, Bing, and AI answer engines actually parse your PDFs. Here's the checklist, the standards behind it, and where it breaks down.
How to Build "Alternatives" Pages AI Engines Will Actually Cite
Most vendor alternatives pages get ignored by AI search. Here's the honesty-first structure — trade-offs, scenarios, dated facts — that earns citations instead.
How Agencies Scope an AI Visibility Audit: Pricing, Boundaries, and Client Expectations
Scoping an AI-visibility audit is a different discipline from delivering one — it's where an agency decides what's included, what isn't, how it's priced, and what it will and won't promise, before any research starts.

Structure HTML Data Tables for AI Citation-Ready Evidence
A table that looks fine in a browser can still be invisible to an AI answer engine if it isn't built with real semantic markup. Here's what the research on table parsing, accessibility, and generative-engine optimization actually supports — and what it doesn't.
Citation Link Rot Audit to Fix Dead Links for AI Citability
Link rot doesn't just annoy human readers — it removes the retrievable evidence AI search engines need to verify and cite your content. Here's a research-backed process for auditing and fixing dead citations in evergreen pages.
B2B Evidence Page Template for Verifiable Claims
A repeatable claim-evidence-source-date template that makes B2B product and outcome claims verifiable — and citable — by AI answer engines.
The Copy-Paste Test: Editing for AI Extraction
A practical editing heuristic for GEO: if a paragraph can't stand alone when pasted elsewhere, AI answer engines can't extract or cite it cleanly.
Building an Agency AEO Delivery System That Doesn't Collapse Under Scope
A repeatable framework for agencies selling AEO/GEO: client discovery, evidence mapping, technical QA, reporting cadence, scope controls, and honest limitation-setting.
Research Asset Landing Pages That Support Retrieval: A Practical Build Guide
A standalone page hosting one study, dataset, or report gets extracted and cited by AI answer engines differently than a blog post does — here's what the actual research says about structure, schema, and what still isn't proven.
AEO and GEO Tools for AI Search Citations
Compare AEO and GEO tools for earning citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews with an evidence-first framework.

How to publish genuine review content AI answer engines can trust and cite, without crossing into the FTC's newly-enforced fake review rules.
View-Source vs. Rendered DOM: The AI Search QA Check Most Teams Skip
Most AI crawlers read your raw HTML and never execute JavaScript — so the page a human sees in a browser and the page an AI engine actually indexes can be two different documents. Here's how to test both.
Canonical Tags for AI Search: Why "Hint, Not Rule" Means Something Different to LLMs
Canonical tags tell Google which duplicate wins. AI crawlers don't confirm they even read the tag — here's what actually shapes citations.
The Brand Facts Page: A Ground-Truth Source for AI Search Engines
How to build one canonical facts page AI answer engines can trust to resolve stale or conflicting claims about your company.
Schema Markup and AI Citations: What the Evidence Shows
A data-backed look at schema.org markup and AI search: what's proven, what's marketing, and when structured data is still worth your engineering time.
How B2B Brands Earn the Citations AI Engines Actually Trust
AI answer engines mostly quote what others say about you, not your own site. Here's how B2B teams earn real third-party mentions — and keep the facts straight.
Answer Engine Content QA Checklist for Accurate Claims
A precise, sourced pre-publish checklist for verifying claims, quotes, and citations before AI answer engines copy and amplify an error.
