Everything here about being found by AI
Five short, specific guides, each answering one real question about how AI systems decide what to cite — and two deeper reference documents behind all of it, if you want the full methodology rather than the summary.

Where these guides come from
All five guides above are practical distillations of two formal, versioned documents this studio publishes and holds itself to:
The AEO Methodology, v1.0 — five pillars, explicit pass/fail verification criteria, built from real citation-test data.
The SEO Methodology, v1.0 — the indexation, metadata, and architecture layer both AEO and classic search depend on.
Want your own site checked against all of this?
An independent audit checks SEO fundamentals, AEO structure, and AI citation readiness together — read-only, no production access, no charge if nothing critical turns up.
