        "text": "Start by auditing the questions you already rank or get traffic for, then compare those pages against a practical AEO checklist covering structure, schema, and trust signals.\n\nYou don’t need to rebuild everything at once; prioritize pages tied to revenue or critical topics and optimize those first. This approach avoids overwhelm and gives you measurable wins early.\n\nKey factors:\n- Identify top questions from search console, support tickets, and “People Also Ask”\n- Check whether each page has a clear question in the H1/H2 and a direct answer high on the page\n- Confirm FAQ/HowTo/Article schema is implemented and valid\n- Review speed, mobile experience, and internal linking around each topic\n\nCreate a simple spreadsheet listing key pages, target questions, and checklist status, then work through them in weekly sprints. As you see improved snippet visibility and answer citations, expand the process to secondary topics. Treat the checklist as an ongoing operational habit, not a one-time project.",
