Optimizes for AI assistants and AI-generated answers — being retrievable, being cited, and being represented accurately when a model answers on your behalf. Use this when traffic is shifting from links to AI answers, when a brand is misrepresented or absent in AI responses, when planning content for retrieval rather than ranking, or when deciding how AI search changes an existing SEO program.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AI search optimization Classical SEO optimizes to be *clicked*. This optimizes to be *quoted* — often with no click at all. That changes what a good page looks like. ## What gets cited - **Self-contained passages.** A retrieved chunk arrives without the surrounding page. Each section must make sense alone, with its subject named rather than pronominalized. - **Direct answers near the question.** Bury the answer under three paragraphs of context and the passage retrieved will be the context. - **Specific, checkable facts** — numbers, dates, named methods, stated conditions. Vague claims are neither retrievable nor quotable. - **Attributable expertise.** Named authors, stated credentials, dated content, and cited sources. Anonymous undated content is weakly weighted. - **Structure that survives extraction** — real headings, real lists, real tables. Layout implied by styling disappears. ## Practical moves - Answer the question in the first sentence under each heading, then elaborate. - Write headings as the questions people actually ask. - Define your own terms on your own pages, so the model's definition traces to you. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/ai-search-optimization@sha256:c44c6b75026760d6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
