The 5 Laws of Generative Engine Optimization
- Crawlable Without Client Runtimes: If an AI engine needs a JavaScript engine to read your value proposition, your website does not exist.
- Authoritative Facts Over Marketing Fluff: LLMs cite exact numbers, pricing tiers, integration endpoints, and transparent compliance standards.
- Canonical and Lang Rigor: Clear, self-referential canonicals and correct language headers ensure engines never confuse localized pages.
- Direct Machine-Readable Manifests: Standardized llms.txt endpoints at domain roots provide the foundational context for model reasoning.
- Honest Evidence and Proof: Fabricated claims get debunked in real time; verifiable receipts become permanent citation magnets.
