§ 06 · FAQ

Questions, answered
with specifics.

The methodology is technical but the answers are not. If something here isn't covered, the discovery call is the fastest place to ask.

It means your site is structured so AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Bing/Copilot) can cite specific facts from your content. The infrastructure is JSON-LD, llms.txt, structured FAQ, named-entity content, and an MCP endpoint. The result is citations instead of summarisation.
AI assistants choose between citing you, summarising you (without traffic), or replacing you with generated content. Agent-readability tilts the choice toward citation. Citation means traffic and authority flow back to your site.
Sanity and WordPress at launch. Webflow and other CMSes added as engagements come in. The framework is CMS-agnostic; the implementation guides are CMS-specific.
The free scorecard is instant once it launches. The recommendations report is delivered in 5 business days. The implementation engagement runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope.
Email confirmation, then notification when the scorecard launches (currently 4 to 6 weeks out). The waitlist also receives a short methodology series covering the same playbook.
It’s in active build. The methodology, pricing, and audit deliverables are ready. The interactive scorecard tool ships in Phase 1, expected within 6 weeks.
No. The free scorecard runs against your URL automatically. Paid audits include the implementation work, so the report comes with concrete fix instructions for your CMS.
Final word

Cite-worthy
or skipped.
Find out which.

Two routes. Same framework. Whichever you pick, you'll know exactly where your site stands with the assistants that increasingly decide who gets traffic and who gets summarised away.
