Start with a useful website, not an AI shortcut.
Google’s AI search features use the same search foundations. There is no special AI schema or machine-readable file required for inclusion. This checklist helps you review the information and access a buyer needs.
Review the website and its information
Discovery
Priority pages return a working response, can be crawled and are linked from useful pages.
Indexing
Review canonical and noindex settings for the pages intended to appear in search.
Direct answers
Explain the service, suitability, process and next step in clear text.
Useful detail
Add verified examples, conditions and limitations instead of generic claims.
Business facts
Keep the business name, real location, services and contact details consistent.
Source accuracy
Correct outdated website facts and request corrections to important external profiles.
Evidence
Label screenshots with the metric, reporting period and context; obtain permission.
Images
Use relevant images with suitable dimensions and useful alternative text.
Structured data
Use appropriate markup that matches visible content. Special AI schema is not required.
Regional pages
Create useful country or language alternatives only where there is a real audience need.
Local profiles
Maintain eligible, accurate Business Profiles for real locations or service areas.
Measurement
Keep sampled AI mentions, citations, organic visits and completed enquiries distinct.
Repeatable checks
Record the questions, tools, dates and sources when reviewing AI answers.
Contact routes
Test forms, WhatsApp and phone actions on mobile; distinguish clicks from confirmed contact.
Privacy
Review tracking and consent against the actual deployed tools and audience requirements.
Ownership
Assign an owner to approve facts, review results and maintain the information.
Keep a printable copy
Print or save the checklist as a PDF from your browser. Mark each item as complete, needs work or not applicable, and assign an owner.
Practical detail
Turn a checklist item into an owned action
This hypothetical action record keeps the checklist practical without inventing an AI visibility result.
| Question | Example record | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Observation | The main service page does not explain prerequisites | Save the page and the actual unanswered buyer question. |
| Action | Add an approved suitability and input section | The business supplies facts; the writer develops the original explanation. |
| Sign-off | The published section answers the question and links related detail | Review mobile readability, factual accuracy and the contact route. |
| Follow-up | Retain the source change and comparable question observations | A completed edit is not a guaranteed citation or recommendation. |
Use a publication gate rather than a completion score
Mark items as complete, needs work or not applicable, and name an owner. A privacy or technical issue may need another reviewer. Do not label the site AI-ready merely because every row has a checkmark.
Prioritise gaps affecting the core offer and accurate public facts. Recheck after significant service or website changes. The checklist supports a useful source website; it does not certify platform inclusion.
