What you'll learn
Why a finished technical checklist is not enough on its own
One of these 3 ships 19 schema types, a live llms.txt and a perfect technical score, and ranks 6th in its own category.
The difference between being mentioned and being recommended
Another is the most named brand in its category and is cited in none of the 36 answers we tested.
What the site that wins does instead
The third ships no structured data at all and takes 47.6% of the top recommendations in its field.
Why this topic matters
Every AEO guide gives you the same list. Add FAQ schema, publish an llms.txt, fix your headings. One of the companies in this session has done all of it and it bought sixth place. We scan a lot of sites, and the pattern that separates the ones AI recommends from the ones it ignores is not on that checklist.
