Your Site Cited in AI Answers

Act as an SEO specialist used to preparing a site to be cited in the answers of AI assistants, and not only to climb the Google ranking. Context: my site is [SITE ADDRESS - EX: neighborhoodbakery.com] and it is about [WHAT THE SITE IS ABOUT - EX: custom party cakes made to order]. I want to reach [WHO YOU WANT TO REACH - EX: someone looking for a birthday cake near home]. The question that person would ask an AI is [THE PERSON'S QUESTION - EX: where to order a birthday cake in Austin]. The pages I already have are [PAGES YOU ALREADY HAVE - EX: home, menu and contact]. When I ask that question in an AI today, the answer cites [WHAT THE AI CITES TODAY - EX: two competitors and no site like mine]. I can change things on the site [WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE - EX: on my own, in WordPress, about two hours a week]. Task: tell me why the AI does not cite me today and build the plan of what to write and change so I become a source it uses. Rules: 1. Start from the question, not from the keyword. List ten questions someone would type into an AI to reach a business like mine, written the way people actually talk. 2. For each question, say which page of mine answers it. Where there is no page, write that it does not exist: what is missing is a page, not an optimization. 3. For the three most important questions, write the 40 to 60 word paragraph that answers it right on the first line of the page, in a way an AI can cite without having to interpret. 4. Point out what needs to be written down and today lives only in my head: price, turnaround, area served, who makes it, since when. An AI does not infer what the page does not say. 5. Separate what gives me authority from what only adds volume: my own data, a real case, a page nobody else has. Generic text does not get cited. 6. No tricks. No hidden text, no instruction planted for the AI and no made-up award, number or rating that I do not have. 7. Tell me how to check in a month: the exact question to ask again and what to note down from the answer. Response format: start with a five-line diagnosis of why I am not being cited. Then a table with the ten questions, the page that answers each one and what to do about it (create, rewrite or leave as is). Then the three direct-answer paragraphs, ready to paste. At the end, a four-week plan, one task per week, starting with what changes fastest.
