Do this next

Every reading on your domain page is a signal. I fold them into one ordered to-do list, with the item that moves your AI presence the most at the top. There's no guesswork here: same signals in, same list out. No model decides the order — a fixed set of rules does.

The rules

One rule per signal. Each turns a reading from another card into a plain recommendation, carries the evidence that proves it (the "why"), and links back to the card where you can see it for yourself.

SignalRecommendationPriorityEvidence
Blocked citation crawlers Unblock the named bots in your robots.txt high Access — you're invisible to those engines
JavaScript-only pages Server-render those page(s) med Access — their content can't be read
Worst AEO dimension Improve that dimension on your pages high if it scores below 50, else med Readiness — your biggest AEO drag
Top not-cited questions (up to 3) Win each question you're not cited for high or med — the question's own opportunity Citation — a rival is cited, or no one is

The AEO-dimension rule is the only one with a threshold: a score under 50 makes the fix urgent (high); at 50 or above it's a med.

How it ranks

The list is sorted by priority alone: every high item first, then every med item. When two items share a priority, they keep signal order — access first, then readiness, then citation. Nothing else reorders the list.

1 · high
Access
blocked crawlers
2 · high
Readiness
worst dimension < 50
3 · high
Citation

then · med

same access→readiness→citation order

High before med; within a tier, access then readiness then citation.

Note

I rank, I don't promise. On this to-do list the impact stays a priority, not a number — I never bolt a "+N points" estimate onto an action here. The one place I do quantify a fix is the Readiness card, where each win shows the points it would recover, grounded in the score math. The ranking itself is deterministic: an honest "this matters most" beats a made-up number.

Where each action comes from

Every row points back to the card that holds its evidence, so you can check the reading before you act:

Access
Blocked citation crawlers and JavaScript-only pages.
Readiness
Your lowest-scoring AEO dimension.
Citation
The tracked questions you aren't cited for yet.
