Preparing Your Site for AI Search

Why AI Search Changes Everything

AI Search imposes a conversational reading of your content. Search engines no longer just extract snippets from pages: they build synthetic answers by mixing multiple sources. Result:

• Your content must answer long and contextual intentions.
• Structured data becomes essential to qualify who does what.
• The user journey shifts from "click and read" to "ask and receive".

The 3 Pillars of AI-Ready Content

1. Content Structure

Your articles must be:

• Modular: Break content into reusable blocks
• Contextual: Answer the "why" and "how", not just the "what"
• Interconnected: Link related concepts internally

2. Data Architecture

Implement:

• Schema.org markup (Article, FAQPage, HowTo)
• Semantic HTML5 elements
• Metadata for each content block

3. Conversational Paths

Design:

• FAQ sections that anticipate user questions
• Step-by-step guides with clear progression
• Related content suggestions
