Audit workflow

审计流程

Baseline: run Lighthouse and PageSpeed on key templates (home, category, detail, blog).
Crawl: verify indexability, canonicals, and duplicate content (use Search Console + crawler).
Fix blockers:
```
noindex
```
,
```
robots.txt
```
, canonical mismatches, redirect chains.
On-page: titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, image alt.
Structured data: add JSON-LD and validate rich results.
Re-verify: re-run Lighthouse/PageSpeed and check Search Console coverage.

基准测试：对关键模板页面（首页、分类页、详情页、博客页）运行Lighthouse和PageSpeed测试。
抓取验证：验证可索引性、规范URL和重复内容（使用搜索控制台+抓取工具）。
修复障碍：处理
```
noindex
```
、
```
robots.txt
```
、规范URL不匹配、重定向链等问题。
页面内优化：标题、元描述、标题层级、内部链接、图片alt文本。
结构化数据：添加JSON-LD并验证富媒体结果。
重新验证：再次运行Lighthouse/PageSpeed测试，并检查搜索控制台覆盖情况。

AEO / AI Visibility Optimization

AEO / AI可见性优化

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) focuses on making content discoverable and citable by AI agents (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews). While SEO targets rankings and clicks, AEO targets citations, mentions, and brand authority within AI-generated responses.

答案引擎优化（AEO）专注于让内容能够被AI代理（ChatGPT、Perplexity、Gemini、Google AI Overviews）直接发现和引用。与针对排名和点击的SEO不同，AEO的目标是在AI生成的响应中获得引用、提及并建立品牌权威性。

Key differences from SEO

与SEO的核心差异

SEO: Rank high → get clicks → drive traffic
AEO: Be cited → own the answer → build authority

SEO metric: Position, CTR, impressions
AEO metric: Citations, mentions, AI visibility score

SEO query: "best project management software"

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring content so AI systems can directly extract and cite answers. It focuses on citations in AI responses rather than search rankings.

Unlike traditional SEO, AEO optimizes for conversational queries and zero-click results where users get answers without visiting your site.


**Guidelines:**
- Lead with 40-60 word direct answer
- Self-contained responses (AI extracts without surrounding context)
- Conversational, natural language
- Specific data > vague claims
- Include quantified claims, dates, authoritative citations

**Entity-based optimization:**

```markdown
<!-- ❌ Keyword-focused -->
"Our software helps teams collaborate better with features 
for project management and communication."

<!-- ✅ Entity-focused -->
"Acme PM is a project management platform for remote teams. 
Founded in 2020, serves 50,000+ companies. Key features: 
Kanban boards, time tracking, Slack integration. Pricing: 
$12/user/month."

Define who you are, what you do, and why AI should trust you.

Unlike traditional SEO, AEO optimizes for conversational queries and zero-click results where users get answers without visiting your site.


**规范:**
- 开头先用40-60字直接给出答案
- 回答需独立完整（无需上下文AI即可提取）
- 使用对话式、自然的语言
- 具体数据优于模糊表述
- 包含量化的声明、日期和权威引用

**基于实体的优化:**

```markdown
<!-- ❌ 关键词导向 -->
"Our software helps teams collaborate better with features 
for project management and communication."

"Acme PM is a project management platform for remote teams. 
Founded in 2020, serves 50,000+ companies. Key features: 
Kanban boards, time tracking, Slack integration. Pricing: 
$12/user/month."

明确你的品牌身份、业务范围，以及AI为何应该信任你。
