How do we prepare our website for AI-assisted search?

Start with real buying questions

Answer what your service does, who it helps, what it requires, how it differs and what happens next. Avoid pages that repeat a keyword but never explain the offering.

Audit the basics

• Important pages are accessible without a login.
• Titles and descriptions accurately describe the page.
• Internal links point to useful related material.
• Structured data matches visible information.
• Facts have owners and review dates.
• Sitemap and crawl settings reflect what should be public.

Do not confuse availability with selection

A page being indexable does not guarantee that a search engine or assistant will cite it. There is no reliable universal trick that forces recommendation.

Illustrative editorial image, not a customer result.

Keep a bounded observation log

Record the question, date, tool and observed answer for a small set of relevant queries. Results can vary across users and time. Combine these observations with referral traffic and customer-reported discovery; do not turn a handful of prompts into a market-share claim.

This week's action

Rewrite one key page to answer a buyer's question plainly. Add evidence, a clear next step and links to the supporting pages. Improve usefulness before increasing publishing volume.

Discussion behind the question

This is original practical guidance prompted by a public discussion theme, not a claim that the poster represents all CMOs. Read the source discussion.
