FAQ
Do I still need traditional SEO if I only care about ChatGPT or Perplexity?▼
Yes. These systems still pull from the open web. If your site has crawl issues, thin templates, or unclear semantics, citation quality drops fast. SEO fixes the foundation; GEO improves what gets quoted.
What is the minimum SEO baseline before scaling GEO content?▼
Keep URLs and HTTP responses stable on pages you want cited, keep one primary intent per URL, and align title with H1 clearly. Use structured data to remove ambiguity, not just to decorate marketing copy.
Should I put FAQ schema on every page?▼
Only if the page truly answers distinct user questions. Repetitive or keyword-stuffed FAQ markup can backfire. Real Q&A that matches page content works better.
How do internal links help GEO?▼
They guide crawlers and retrieval systems to your canonical answer pages, reinforce question phrasing, and reduce duplicate URLs competing for the same intent.
How is this different from “writing for AI”?▼
We optimize for machine-readable claims and evidence, not buzzwords. The toolkit scores paragraphs with transparent rules, and full audits extend that to real URLs plus technical context.
