The Challenge
Strong on Google. Invisible to AI.
The client was ranking well on traditional search and enjoyed steady organic traffic. But when customers asked AI assistants for product recommendations, this brand never appeared. They were winning yesterday's game while losing tomorrow's.

GDP Beacon Diagnostic
The initial scan told the whole story
Our first Beacon scan revealed critical gaps across every category. AI readiness scored a devastating 12 out of 100, meaning AI assistants had almost no structured data to work with.

What We Did
A 5-phase AI readiness transformation
We used GDP Beacon to diagnose every gap, then worked through a systematic optimization plan, addressing the most impactful issues first.
AI Welcome Files
Created llms.txt and llms-full.txt with comprehensive brand context, product details, and content priorities for AI assistants.
Structured Data Architecture
Deployed Schema.org markup across all pages: Organization, Product, FAQ, HowTo, and AggregateRating schemas.
AI Crawler Configuration
Configured robots.txt with explicit AI bot access rules and set up dedicated crawl paths for all major AI assistants.
Answer-Ready Content
Restructured content into AI-extractable formats: clear summaries, structured FAQs, comparison tables, and highlighted benefits.
Authority Signals
Integrated E-E-A-T markup, author information, trust signals, and knowledge graph alignment across the entire site.
The Results
Every category transformed
After 8 weeks of targeted optimization, the second Beacon scan showed a complete transformation. The overall score jumped from a D to a solid A.
