- llms.txt and llms-full.txt per the llmstxt.org spec
- brand.json, aeo.json, keywords.json machine readable identity files
- Speakable schema for voice friendly content
- Citation density tuning per Princeton GEO research
- Knowledge Graph entity submission where eligible
- Wikidata Q ID work where notability supports
AI engines are the new front door.
A growing share of small business research happens inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Sites that show up in those engines get cited; sites that do not are invisible to those users. Tier 3 is the work that gets cited.
The work splits across two surfaces: structured data the engines can read (FAQPage, speakable, llms.txt) and content the engines can extract and cite (answer capsules, citation density). We ship both.

Concrete deliverables.
- Answer capsule deployed on every key page
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt published
- FAQPage and speakable schema validated
- Wikidata Q ID submission if eligible
- Citation tracking dashboard for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude
Requires Tier 1 Foundation.
Tier 3 assumes Foundation is in place. Strong recommendation to ship Tier 2 Search Visibility alongside Tier 3 because the cluster work overlaps.
Tier 3 FAQ.
Will I show up in ChatGPT after deploy?
Sometimes within two to four weeks for established brands. New brands may take three to six months. Citations come and go as the AI models update.
What is the difference between Tier 3 and Tier 2?
Tier 2 ranks pages on Google. Tier 3 surfaces business citations in AI engines. Different surface, overlapping signals.
Can you guarantee a Wikidata Q ID?
No. Wikidata notability is determined by community. We submit when notability is supported by external press or other independent references. We do not fabricate notability.
