What it is.
A copyable checklist covering eight steps, from crawlability through to validating that measurement works.
Step seven is the one that dates the rest: auditing AI search and citation readiness, with a table of what good looks like per trait.
It closes on prioritization, sorting findings by effort and impact, and on turning a one-off audit into something that runs on a schedule.
