01The situation

AI answers are replacing lists of results.

Ask a question today and you get an answer instead of ten blue links. It cites only a few sources. Whether your website is one of them is decided before anyone clicks.

Who readsClassic search:A crawler indexes pages and weighs links.AI answers:A language model reads content and restates it in its own words.
What countsClassic search:Keywords, backlinks, position in a results list.AI answers:Evidence, structure, and how quotable each statement is.
How you appearClassic search:As a blue link someone clicks.AI answers:As a source in an answer, or not at all.
What you measureClassic search:Rankings and clicks, after the visit.AI answers:Whether your site is machine-readable, understandable, and backed by evidence, before the visit.

Key pointIf an AI answer does not cite you as a source, you do not exist for that user.

02The model

Four areas, each with its own categories: from reachability to recommendation.

Each area is a success factor in its own right. Together they describe how a website makes it into an AI answer. Each category shows an excerpt of its criteria.

Scores: fictitious example of Example Corp, not a real measurement.

The overall and area scores are based on the MUST criteria. OPTIONAL criteria count towards the scores of the AI systems for which their effect is documented. Anything that cannot be checked is left out and never scored as 0.
