The Get Recommended Framework
What makes a business worth recommending?
Six things, in this order. Most businesses jump to step 3 and start publishing, then skip steps 4 and 5, and wonder why step 6 doesn't show the expected results.
- 01
Know your buyer
The exact things they ask AI before they buy from anyone.
- 02
Get recognized by AI
Whether the machines can say who you are and what you are best at.
- 03
Answer-ready content
Pages a model can quote, instead of pages that bury the answer.
- 04
Trust and authority
What other people say about you, away from your own website.
- 05
Be where decisions are made
The communities, podcasts and channels your buyers already use.
- 06
Track and improve
Answers shift. Last quarter’s win decays quietly.
Eighteen questions, three per step. About an hour with a pen and your own site open. The ones you cannot answer are the diagnosis.
