Nathan Gotch AI SEO

Complete AI SEO system for dominating ChatGPT and AI search results. 34 prompts; primary-sourced operational layer added 2026-07-19 from Gotch's 2026-07-15 video (the repo's first primary Gotch source — see references/source-ledger.md). Nathan Gotch's genius: AI SEO operates at the retrieval layer, not the ranking layer. Most optimize for what users see—Gotch optimizes for what AI sees before it generates answers. Core Insight: Decisions happen at the retrieval layer, not the visibility layer — and the AI decides by consensus across its sources, so the unit of work is a third-party mention.
