For Google AI features and LLM-driven search, the fundamentals remain crawlability, useful original content, coherent entities, evidence and strong technical SEO. Write answers that can stand on their own, but avoid generic filler created only to reach a word count. If you want public pages to be discoverable in ChatGPT Search, do not block OAI-SearchBot from the content you want surfaced.
There is no special magic GEO tag required for visibility.
Clear definitions, tables, cases and structured sections improve comprehension.
Access is required if you want public content to be discoverable there.
SEO remains the foundation
Google confirms that crawlability, indexing, useful content and spam policies apply to generative features.
What this changes in practice
In practice, this step should connect to Intent and Originality. Make each page answer a concrete question or decision. Add proprietary cases, tools, frameworks and experience. This turns a preference into a testable project decision.
Bring Entities into the same review. Keep company, services, locations and projects consistent. For an SME, this reduces late rework, makes supplier scope easier to compare and connects the project to a commercial or operational outcome.

| Entities | Keep company, services, locations and projects consistent. | Related pages reinforce the same facts. |
| Structure | Use headings, tables, lists and self-contained answers. | A useful block can be understood without reading everything else. |
| Technical SEO | Review crawlability, canonical, hreflang, sitemap and performance. | Strategic pages are accessible and indexable. |

Questions to settle before you start
Make the main unknowns visible before committing budget. An unanswered question is not a problem when it is explicit; it becomes a risk when it is hidden inside a supplier assumption and discovered during development.
Answer these questions with the people who will use, sell or operate the solution. Discovery then becomes an internal decision tool, not just a document sent to a supplier.
- How is intent handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
- How is originality handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
- How is entities handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
- How is structure handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
- How is technical seo handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
- How is measurement handled today, and what should measurably improve after the change?
Common failure patterns and warning signs
The failure patterns below all push important decisions towards the end of the project, where change is more expensive. A strong process makes these risks visible early.
Use the warning signs as review criteria. If several appear at once, reduce scope, add discovery or validate a prototype before investing further.
- Leaving intent until the solution has already been built
- Leaving originality until the solution has already been built
- Leaving entities until the solution has already been built
- Leaving structure until the solution has already been built
- Leaving technical seo until the solution has already been built
- Leaving measurement until the solution has already been built
Recommended action plan
A good decision should be measurable after launch. Establish a baseline, an owner and a review cadence, then compare the same indicators after launch.
A useful roadmap separates launch from evolution. Prioritise later work from usage data, leads, support tickets and operational gains instead of an old pre-project wish list.
- 1. Discovery — Goals, users and the current process.
- 2. Scope — Must-haves, assumptions and risks.
- 3. Prototype — Critical journey and key decisions.
- 4. Build — Content, data, technology and integrations.
- 5. Launch — Testing, analytics and ownership.
- 6. Improve — Usage, feedback and KPIs drive the roadmap.
Build the business case before comparing proposals
A project involving SEO and LLM visibility: being found in Google and AI answers is easier to govern when it is framed as an investment rather than a feature list. Start with one measurable outcome: more qualified enquiries, less manual re-entry, a shorter sales cycle, greater user self-service or lower operational risk. Use that outcome to judge every scope decision that follows.
The first layer of the business case connects Intent with Originality. Make each page answer a concrete question or decision. Add proprietary cases, tools, frameworks and experience. Quantify the current state where possible: enquiries per month, minutes per task, drop-off, licence cost, error volume or average cycle time. A reasonable baseline is more useful than a vague objective such as ‘modernisation’.
The second layer includes costs that appear after launch. Technical SEO and Measurement therefore belong in the same decision as design and development. Review crawlability, canonical, hreflang, sitemap and performance. Track Search Console, AI referrals and lead conversion. A cheaper initial proposal can become more expensive if it leaves heavy manual work, unexpected licences or an architecture that is difficult to evolve.
Finally, assign value to risk reduction. Entities and Structure often affect total cost more than expected. Keep company, services, locations and projects consistent. Use headings, tables, lists and self-contained answers. The right question is not only ‘how much does it cost?’, but ‘what level of investment is proportionate to the outcome, the risk and the expected useful life?’.
Three scope scenarios to make the decision concrete
These scenarios are not price packages. They separate the essential need from medium-term ambition. A good proposal makes the layers visible so functions can be postponed without breaking the logic of the product.
Compare proposals without comparing apples and oranges
Two proposals with the same headline deliverable can cover very different realities. Ask suppliers to respond to the same scope, assumptions and definition of ‘done’. Price then becomes a consequence of visible choices instead of a number that is impossible to interpret.
Make responsibilities explicit as well: who provides content, who approves, who configures access, who migrates data, who tests, who hosts and who responds after launch? Grey areas are often the first source of budget and timeline overruns.
| Criterion | What to review | Evidence to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Intent | Make each page answer a concrete question or decision. | The H1 and direct answer are explicit. |
| Originality | Add proprietary cases, tools, frameworks and experience. | The page offers value that is difficult to copy. |
| Entities | Keep company, services, locations and projects consistent. | Related pages reinforce the same facts. |
| Structure | Use headings, tables, lists and self-contained answers. | A useful block can be understood without reading everything else. |
| Technical SEO | Review crawlability, canonical, hreflang, sitemap and performance. | Strategic pages are accessible and indexable. |
| Measurement | Track Search Console, AI referrals and lead conversion. | Editorial investment is connected to revenue decisions. |
Measure value after launch
Measurement starts before launch. Choose two to four KPIs that come directly from the business case, record the current baseline and assign someone to review them after 30, 60 and 90 days. For Intent and Originality, favour indicators that show changed behaviour or business outcomes rather than traffic alone.
Add quality indicators around Entities and Structure. A product can convert more while creating more errors or support demand; an automation can save time without improving the experience. Use several dimensions of value rather than a single vanity metric.
Finally, connect Technical SEO and Measurement to operating cost: licences, administration time, tickets, maintenance and required enhancements. After a few months you will have enough evidence to decide whether to invest further, simplify or expand the solution.
- Conversion or adoption
- Time saved
- Quality / error rate
- Cycle time
- Operating cost
- User satisfaction

No. It helps understanding but guarantees nothing.
How large should the first release be?+
Large enough to support one valuable journey end to end, small enough to test and improve quickly.
What needs to happen after launch?+
Monitoring, support, ownership and a roadmap are part of the solution, not just the delivery project.
