The 90-Day Plan to Make Your Site Visible to AI
A phased 90-day plan to take your site from invisible to AI to readable, quotable, and recommendable. The framework from The Two-Reality Web.
You can make your site readable to AI in about 90 days, working through three phases: diagnose, fix the foundation, then build authority. This is the framework from my book, The Two-Reality Web, compressed into a plan you can start this week.
Phase 1, days 1 to 15: diagnose
You cannot fix what you have not measured. The first two weeks are about seeing your site the way AI sees it.
- View the page source of your top ten pages and note what is missing from the raw HTML.
- Determine whether your site is server-rendered, prerendered, or a client-side shell.
- List the questions your customers ask that an AI assistant might field, and check whether your site answers them in plain text.
By the end of phase one you should have a clear list: which pages are invisible, and what content is missing from each.
Phase 2, days 16 to 45: fix the foundation
This is the technical core. The goal is simple: the content a human sees and the content in your raw HTML must match.
- Move to server-side rendering, static prerendering, or hybrid hydration so your real content ships in the HTML.
- Give every important page a clear, single H1 and a direct answer in the first paragraph.
- Add structured data that names who you are, what you do, and how your pages relate.
- Write a plain-text llms.txt that tells AI systems what your site is about.
By day 45, a crawler that does not run JavaScript should be able to read your entire site.
Phase 3, days 46 to 90: build authority
Being readable gets you in the door. Being trusted gets you cited. The last phase is about giving AI reasons to recommend you.
- Publish answer-first content: lead each page with a direct, quotable answer to a real question.
- Connect your pages with intentional internal links so AI understands how your topics relate.
- Build a consistent identity across the web, your site, your profiles, and your listings, so AI can confirm you are who you say you are.
- Keep publishing. Depth and consistency are what separate a cited source from an ignored one.
What to expect at the end
Ninety days will not make you the top answer for every question. What it does is move you from invisible to present: readable by the crawlers that feed AI answers, structured so they understand you, and credible enough to be quoted. That is the whole game, and most of your competitors have not started.
This plan is the short version. The full method, with the reasoning behind each step, is in my book. The rest of the Knowledge Hub breaks down each phase in detail.
