Pro Tips & Insights
01
AI Content Compounding: Content published in Week 02 benefits from 11 weeks of internal link equity, ranking 3x higher than content from Week 10.
02
Internal Linking is AI Crawl Equity: Orphaned AI content pages (zero internal links) will fail to gain traction, irrespective of generation quality.
03
Intent Over Volume for AI Tools: A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Purchase Intent' for an AI tool is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'Definition' term.
04
Consistent AI Publishing Signals Authority: Search engines learn your cadence. A steady drip-feed of 15 AI-generated assets weekly is more effective than a 150-asset launch on Day 01.
