STEP 1

Rewrite the page with answer-first structure

Start with a direct answer in the first paragraph. Then expand with evidence, examples, caveats, and follow-up questions. Each H2 should begin with a clear conclusion.

H1 title
→ Direct answer
→ Evidence or source context
→ Explanation
→ FAQ block
→ Visible step list

STEP 2

Add the right schema

Schema type	Best use case	Priority
Article	Every editorial page	Required
FAQPage	Question-and-answer content	Required for FAQ pages
ItemList	Visible ordered steps or checklists	Use when steps are part of the visible article body
BreadcrumbList	Site structure	Recommended
Organization	Brand entity	Recommended

STEP 3

Monitor AI citations every week

Test the same questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and local AI platforms.
Record whether the answer mentions your brand, cites your page, or cites competitors.
Update core pages every 2-4 weeks with new evidence, examples, and clearer answers.

Worked example

How to rewrite one paragraph so AI can extract the answer faster

If a reader asks “How do I do GEO?”, a generic article often spends too long on history and background. A GEO page should answer the question in the first 50-100 words, then use steps, tables, FAQs, and sources to support the answer.

Generic writing

Starts with a long introduction and only reaches the answer later.

GEO writing

Starts with the answer, then expands into steps, mistakes, examples, and FAQ.

Review focus

Is the conclusion obvious, is the evidence verifiable, and can the page be extracted cleanly?
