        "text": "You start by mapping the real questions your audience asks, then rewriting or creating pages so each one gives a **direct, self-contained answer** in the first 1–2 sentences under a question-style heading.\n\nMost AI answer systems pull short, clear blocks that look like mini-FAQs or concise definition paragraphs, not long storytelling content.\n\nKey factors:\n- Use question-based H2/H3 headings that match real queries\n- Place a 40–80 word direct answer at the top of each section\n- Break details into bullets, tables, or short paragraphs\n- Add FAQPage, HowTo, Article, and Product schema where relevant\n\nPractically, take 20–30 core questions, put each into a header, write a snippable answer first, then layer proof, examples, and links below.\n\nThis gives AI systems confidence to quote your content and makes it easier for humans to read, too.",
