Frequently asked questions
How long until my content shows up in AI answers?
4–8 weeks after publish and IndexNow submission — Bing indexing takes 1–7 days, AI crawler discovery a few days more, and model integration 2–6 weeks. The playbook tells you exactly what to check at each stage so you don't abandon the strategy in week 2.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. Every technical step ships as a copy-paste template — robots.txt, llms.txt, FAQPage JSON-LD — plus verification checklists you can run in a browser. If you can edit your site's pages, you can deploy the whole system.
Is the Chinese edition a full translation?
Yes. The 中文 edition is the complete 39-page playbook — all 15 chapters, templates, and appendices — professionally typeset, not a machine-translated summary. Both PDFs arrive in the same download.
What is the companion Claude Code skill?
An open-source automation (github.com/alex-zz7/geo-cold-start) that generates GEO-optimized articles following the playbook's rules — BLUF openings, fact density, FAQ schema — directly from Claude Code. It's free and MIT-licensed.
Chapter 10 shows that 68% of AI answers include Reddit content. The complete system for winning that channel is its own playbook:
