How to Use This Checklist
Each item below is ordered by impact-to-effort ratio. Start at the top. Complete as many as you can this week. Re-run your CiteFlow audit after completing the first 5 to see your score improve.
Technical Foundation (Do These First)
- ☐ Add Organization Schema markup to your homepage (name, address, phone, description, logo, social profiles)
- ☐ Add LocalBusiness Schema if you have a physical location (latitude/longitude, opening hours, price range)
- ☐ Create a FAQPage with Schema markup on your most important page — answer the 5 questions your customers ask most
- ☐ Verify your Google Business Profile is 100% complete with current photos (minimum 10), hours, and all categories filled
- ☐ Submit to Bing Webmaster Tools — Bing powers many AI systems including some ChatGPT browsing modes
Content Actions
- ☐ Write a "Who We Are" page in each language you serve — be specific about your location, specialization, and what makes you different
- ☐ Create a glossary or explainer on your core topic — AI systems love citing comprehensive reference content
- ☐ Publish a case study or success story with concrete numbers — AI systems prefer citing quantified claims
- ☐ Add publication dates to all your content — AI systems prefer recently updated content
- ☐ Include your location in your content naturally — "based in Casablanca", "serving businesses in Morocco" helps local AI queries
Authority Building
- ☐ Get listed in local business directories: Maroc Annuaire, Pages Jaunes Maroc, and Chamber of Commerce directory
- ☐ Get a mention in a local news article — even a small local publication counts as a citation signal
- ☐ Create profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram with consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) matching your website
- ☐ Respond to all Google reviews — AI systems factor engagement signals into recommendation decisions
- ☐ Run your CiteFlow audit to see your current score and get personalized recommendations specific to your business
