The 9 guides

The framework the rest of the series builds on: what AI search systems actually do before they ever mention your business.

The technical prerequisites that decide whether an AI system can read your site at all, before content quality is even relevant.

Where traditional SEO and AI-search optimisation agree, where they diverge, and how to build one site that works for both.

The specific page types and content assets AI answer engines actually pull from, and why generic marketing copy rarely gets cited.

The trust and entity signals AI systems check before treating a business as a credible source, and how to make yours unambiguous.

Off-site presence: the third-party surfaces AI systems cross-reference against your own site before deciding you're worth citing.

How to actually check whether AI systems are citing you, rather than assuming visibility from ranking position alone.

Why original data is the single highest-leverage asset for AI citation, and how to produce it without a research budget.

How AI visibility compounds (or doesn't) when a person or company operates more than one brand, site or entity.
