Set up AIVO fundamentals

To set up AIVO fundamentals, I focus on clear, answerable questions and short, trustworthy answers. AIVO means AI visibility optimization, which is preparing content so AI assistants can understand and cite it. These steps work for most sites and teams.

Plan answerable questions

• List real questions customers ask in email, chat and calls, written in their words.
• Group questions by intent such as buy, compare, qualify or troubleshoot.
• Pick high intent questions first and map each to a page or a clear section.
• Use the exact question as the main heading so the purpose is obvious.

Publish clear answers

• Start each page with a one to two sentence direct answer under the question.
• Add details below that answer, including steps, options and limits if any.
• State facts AI assistants need, like hours, service area, booking method and requirements.
• Use plain language and define any acronym the first time you use it.

Add structured data

• Structured data is machine readable code that labels content. I use JSON LD with schema.org terms.
• Add Organization or LocalBusiness on your About or Contact page, and WebSite on the home page.
• Use FAQPage for question and answer sections, HowTo for procedures and Product or Service where relevant.
• Include BreadcrumbList to show page hierarchy and a sameAs list for official profiles.

Stabilize identity and citations

• Make your name, address and phone consistent on your site and across major maps profiles.
• Match categories, hours and website URL on each profile.
• Show name, address and phone in your footer and on a dedicated Contact page.
• Repeat the same identity details in structured data.

Connect and monitor

• Submit your sitemap in major webmaster tools and keep robots.txt clean and readable.
• Check that key pages load fast and are mobile friendly.
• Ask popular assistants your target questions and see if your site is cited.
• Use AppWT Analytics to see which AI assistants send visitors and what those visitors do.

What to check when done

• Every target question has a short answer near the top of a relevant page.
• Structured data validates without errors in testing tools.
• Your name, address and phone match exactly across your site and profiles.
• Assistants reference your pages for the questions you chose, and AI referrals show up in analytics.
