AI-Friendly Content Structure

AI-friendly structure: clear semantic HTML, definitive factual claims, FAQ format, citations, schema. LLMs parse syntactic structure.

Structural elements LLMs favor

1. Semantic HTML — <article>, <section>, <h1>-<h6>, <p>
2. FAQ sections — explicit Q&A format
3. Lists — bullet/numbered for easy parsing
4. Tables — comparative data
5. Definitions — <dl>, <dt>, <dd> for term-definition
6. Citations — <cite> and <sup> for footnotes
7. Quotes — <blockquote> with attribution
8. Schema — JSON-LD structured data

Writing style for AI

1. Definitive claims ('X is the most accurate', not 'X may be accurate')
2. Specific numbers ('30 days', not 'a few weeks')
3. Source citations ('According to PSA pop report, 2024...')
4. First-mention brand name (then 'we' or pronoun)
5. Subject + verb + object (simple grammar parses easier)
6. Avoid passive voice when possible

Content structures LLMs cite

1. Numbered lists ('5 reasons...')
2. Q&A pairs ('How does X work? — X works by...')
3. Definition pages ('Centering is...')
4. Comparison tables ('PSA vs BGS')
5. Step-by-step guides ('Step 1: ... Step 2: ...')
6. Data tables (citation-ready stats)
