The problem

The brand had:

  • product/category pages that didn't answer common pre-purchase questions
  • thin content that wasn't easy to extract or cite
  • inconsistent internal linking between category guides and product pages

The approach

We built "AI-ready" pages using:

  • clear definitions and comparisons
  • structured FAQs
  • tables and checklists
  • internal links that connect guides ↔ categories ↔ products

What we built

1) Structured buying guides

We created guides that answered:

  • how to choose the right product
  • key specs and comparisons
  • common pitfalls
  • care/maintenance questions

2) A programmatic template (with quality gates)

We used a consistent template for category-support pages:

  • summary answer first
  • H2 sections matching key questions
  • comparison table
  • internal links to related guides

3) Internal linking improvements

  • guide ↔ category ↔ related guides
  • "related resources" module on key pages
  • consistent anchor naming

See:

Results (replace with real numbers)

  • AI referrals: +XX% in 60 days
  • Organic impressions: +XX% in 60 days

What made it work

  • Structured answers (easy to extract)
  • Helpful artifacts (tables/checklists)
  • Connected topic graph (internal links)

Steal this checklist

  • Pick one category to "own"
  • Publish 5–10 supporting pages answering fan-out questions
  • Add comparison tables and FAQs
  • Link everything into a cluster
  • Refresh based on performance monthly
