Content Audit Checklist for Original Research and Evidence | AEO Improvement
A practical checklist for documenting original research, evidence, and methodology in content.
Audit, simulate, improve, and monitor
AEO Improvement checks citability, brand authority, AI crawler access, technical SEO, schema markup, and per-platform readiness. Recommendations include their evidence source and remain in a domain-level checklist until the user marks them complete.
Current methodology
Citation-path bots are scored separately from training bots. OAI-SearchBot controls ChatGPT search discovery while GPTBot is used for model training. llms.txt is treated as optional because it is not a demonstrated citation gate. Fresh, server-visible content and explicit last-updated dates receive higher priority.
