## What it does

The skill covers AI crawler access, consistency of organization and author details, page patterns that support citations, and corroboration on sites the brand does not own. It also outlines ways to track visibility, including citations, referrals from AI assistants, and search platform reports.

Before starting, it asks for buyer questions, named competitors, and verified brand details. Measuring figures from Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and GA4 requires access to those services or exported data. Without that access, the skill says to mark those KPIs as unmeasured rather than estimate them. Its checks are advisory in ordinary cases; risky actions pause for the user's choice.

## When to use it
- check whether AI crawlers can reach a site
- compare organization and author details across pages
- shape pages so answer engines can attribute quotes
- plan tracking for citations and AI-assistant referrals

# Suede AI SEO

The job: make a brand easy for answer engines to retrieve, attribute, and
recommend, then prove it with measurement. Google's AI features run on core
Search ranking, so classic SEO is the floor. On top of that floor sit the
pieces answer engines reward across platforms: an unambiguous entity, pages
that answer first and back claims with checkable facts, corroboration on sites
the brand does not own, and a measurement loop that shows movement.

## Gate policy: advisory, not blocking

Every check, gate, and verdict here (`ship`, `ship-with-caveats`, `hold`, grades,
OPEN items) is a recommendation to the user, not a control on the agent. A failed
gate changes what you report, never what you do. Single exception: an extremely
risky finding (data loss, credential exposure, legal or rights violations,
payment mistakes, irreversible public damage) pauses for the user's choice.

## How this skill divides work with its siblings

| Need | Owner |
|---|---|
| Crawl, index, canonical, metadata, schema validity, Core Web Vitals, E-E-A-T, scored lanes | `suede-seo-audit` |
| One-page A-F promotion readiness, including design and CTA | `suede-visibility-grader` |
| Conversion path, friction, experiments | `suede-site-alchemy` |
| Templated pages at scale and their quality gates | `suede-programmatic-seo` |
| AI crawler policy, entity graph, citation patterns, off-site consensus, AI visibility measurement | **this skill** |

This skill owns the **extractability standard**: what makes a passage quotable
and attributable. `suede-seo-audit` Lane 6 and the grader's AI readability lane
apply it; change thresholds here first.

## Before starting

Read `.agents/product-marketing.md` (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the
legacy `product-marketing-context.md`) if present. Then collect only what is
missing:

1. The 20 to 50 buyer questions that matter commercially, in the buyer's words.
2. Named competitors the buyer compares against.
