Episode notes
Shift From Search And Discover To Ask And Answer
- The web is shifting from a "search and discover" model to an "ask and answer" model driven by generative AI.
- Brands need infrastructure that makes sites readable by LLM crawlers without rebuilding the human-facing site.
Audit For LLM Readability Signals
- Run a deterministic audit that examines universal signals, raw HTML, discovery, and rendered signals to surface LLM-readability issues.
- Use a readability score to prioritize fixes because higher scores increase a site's visibility to LLM crawlers.
Readability Is The Key LLM Visibility Signal
- Readability is the clearest signal that content is invisible or visible to LLM bots.
- Everything Machines measures readability with an audit that analyzes universal signals, raw HTML, discovery, and rendered signals to score visibility.
