What it is.
The list runs to 42 numbered steps, grouped into crawlability for AI bots, indexation, sitemaps, schema, and Core Web Vitals, then content structure and citation signals. Each step is one thing to check or change.
The content section carries the specifics. Lead every section with a direct answer, write concise definition paragraphs for the terms your category argues over, and keep pages current, because content updated inside the last 90 days draws more citations.
This is TripleDart's own checklist and TripleDart sells AEO work. The steps hold up whoever runs them.
What you get.
- 42 numbered steps you can turn straight into tickets.
- A technical foundation section covering AI bot crawlability, indexation, and schema.
- Content structure rules, including a direct answer at the top of every section.
- Client figures for context: Signeasy at 60-68% month-over-month growth, FlowForma at 7x AI search visibility growth in six months.
How to set it up.
Start at step one and confirm AI bots can crawl the site at all, because everything after it depends on that.
Check indexation across search engines before you judge any content change.
Add schema for the page types you publish, then validate every one of them.
Rewrite section openings so the direct answer comes ahead of the context.
Add concise definition paragraphs for the terms buyers in your category compare.
Set a refresh schedule, since pages updated inside the last 90 days draw more citations.
Use cases
Turn it into tickets
Split the numbered steps into work items and assign them.
One complete pass over a site
Work it line by line when you want nothing left unchecked.
Start with crawlability
Clear the technical section before anyone rewrites a page.
Best for
A full site pass
When you want every AI visibility surface covered once, in a defined order, with things to tick off.
Handing work to engineering
42 discrete steps map onto tickets far more cleanly than a strategy document does.
Auditing an agency's work
You can score somebody else's AEO work against a public list.
