Review and adapt it with qualified professionals before relying on it.
Problem Solved
Technical content fails to rank on Google or get synthesized by LLM answer engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude) because editorial teams write unstructured keyword-stuffed articles without entity definitions, JSON-LD schema markup, or clean markdown interfaces.
When to Use
- •Commissioning high-authority technical blog posts, architectural guides, or glossary definitions
- •Optimizing web pages for LLM answer engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude, Google SGE/AI Overviews)
- •Running pre-publication technical QA checks on Schema.org JSON-LD, hreflang alternates, and Open Graph cards
When NOT to Use
- •For overarching multi-channel marketing campaign budgets and timelines (use TPL-GTM-008)
- •For core product positioning and messaging frameworks (use TPL-GTM-003)
5 Template Sections & Structural Outline
Defining the primary knowledge entity (Wikidata ID / Wikipedia concept), informational vs transactional search intent, and target answer snippets for LLM citation.
Authoritative brief template: target primary entity, secondary semantically linked entities, required headings (H2/H3), code example requirements, and external authoritative citations.
Implementing validated Schema.org schemas: TechArticle, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, SoftwareApplication, and LearningResource. Enforcing strict bilingual hreflang URL integrity.
Configuring clean markdown interfaces for autonomous bots: Accept: text/markdown negotiation, /llms.txt index alignment, and robots.txt crawler permissions.
A 15-point checklist verifying: zero 404 links, mobile viewport responsiveness, Open Graph 1200x630 rendering, semantic HTML hierarchy, and Turkish orthography compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Traditional SEO optimizes for keyword density, backlinks, and search engine ranking positions (SERPs) to attract human clicks. AEO optimizes for direct answer extraction, authoritative entity relationships, structured definitions, and clean markdown ingestibility so LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) synthesize your content as the primary cited source.
Why does Google Search Console fail articles with "Video isn't on a watch page"?
Google Video SEO strictly requires that Schema.org VideoObject structured data only be emitted on dedicated video watch pages where the video player is the primary hero element. Emitting VideoObject on standard reading articles or tutorial pages causes indexing failure.
Why should B2B tech sites implement the /llms.txt standard?
/llms.txt provides a standardized markdown directory designed specifically for LLM inference engines and agentic scrapers, summarizing the site’s core architecture, APIs, and key pages in concise format, dramatically improving how AI agents understand and recommend your product.
