Which notes are on page 6 of Will's Journal?
AI Visibility Can blocking AI crawlers remove me from ChatGPT answers
No. Blocking GPTBot stops future training crawls. ChatGPT search uses OAI-SearchBot. Trained weights do not rewind, and other sources can still name you.
AI Visibility Answer Engine Optimization: The Playbook for Getting Cited by AI
AEO is how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your brand: entity facts, extractable pages, corroboration, and a 90-day measurement loop.
AI Visibility Are there special technical requirements for AI Overviews
No secret Google API exists for AI Overviews. You need crawlable HTML, extractable answers, valid structured data, indexable pages, and Googlebot access.
Websites After a Redesign, Prove Tracking Before You Blame the Design
Conversions dropped after a redesign? Prove GA4 key events, consent, and redirects still work before you blame the design — then diagnose real UX loss.
AI Visibility Which AI bots should I allow vs block
Allow citation crawlers if you want to be recommended; block Bytespider and CCBot if you do not need them. GPTBot trains. Googlebot is not Google-Extended.
AI Visibility The llms.txt Question Nobody Answers Properly
Everyone is shipping llms.txt files. Almost nobody is shipping one that changes whether a model can actually answer a question about them.
Automation Production n8n: The Handbook for Automations That Survive Contact With Reality
Run n8n in production with idempotency keys, dead-letter queues, verified webhooks, credential lifecycle, and queue mode only when concurrency hurts you.
AI Visibility Can I do AEO myself or do I need an agency
Yes — DIY week one: extractable answers, matching schema, and allow GPTBot. Hire for competitive categories, a measurement stack, or entity-cleanup work.
AI Visibility Does original research help me get cited by AI
Yes if the finding is unique, extractable, and method-labeled. Uncited blog opinions do not get reused as AI citations. Methods, sample, and date required.
AI Visibility How do I appear in Google AI Overviews
Appear in Google AI Overviews by shipping extractable answers, consistent entity facts, and crawlable HTML, then measuring citations on a frozen query panel.
AI Visibility Is SEO dead in 2026 because of AI answers
No. SEO is not dead in 2026. AI answers changed clicks and the scoreboard; rankings still matter for crawl, snippet eligibility, and the candidate pool.
AI Visibility Do AI-referred leads convert better than organic search leads
You cannot know if AI-referred leads close better until you tag them apart from Google organic and compare close rate on the same opportunity — not a lift %.
