Cover of SEO for AI search

What you’ll learn

This guide is for business owners and marketers who already do some SEO and now want their pages to turn up in AI answers: Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and the rest. Nobody can promise that an assistant will cite you, and we won't pretend otherwise. What you can control is whether your pages are findable, readable and worth quoting. By the end you'll be able to check your crawler settings, rewrite a page so its answers stand on their own, cover the questions people really ask, strengthen the signals that tell machines who you are, and run a simple monthly test of your AI visibility.

  • How AI answers pick the pages they read, and which part of that you control
  • A robots.txt that lets AI search in while opting out of model training
  • How to rewrite a page so each answer stands on its own and can be quoted
  • Where to find the questions people really ask, including ones with no search volume
  • A monthly prompt test and the analytics reports that show your AI visibility

Questions

Is the guide really free?
Yes. Enter your email and we send you a private link to the PDF straight away. There's nothing to buy and no card to enter.
What format is it?
A 19-page PDF, designed to read on screen or print. It has a contents page, worked examples and checklists you can tick off as you go.
Will you email me anything else?
We'll send you a few short follow-ups on getting more from your content. Every one has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing stops them for good.
Do I need RankSpiral to use it?
No. Everything in the guide works by hand with a spreadsheet and free tools. Where RankSpiral automates a step, a labelled box says how, so you can decide whether that's worth it to you.
