Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What’s the difference between this and the Opportunity Mapping template?
Opportunity Mapping decides if a prompt should be answered. This template defines how to make that answer searchable and credible.
Q2. Can I skip the external citations?
You can — but they’re essential for AI visibility and trust. Adding third-party validation increases ranking in LLMs and Google SGE.
Q3. What is a “Search Surface”?
It’s the format or structure that satisfies user intent — e.g., “Comparison Page” for decision-stage prompts, “Checklist” for how-tos.
Q4. Can I use this to build internal link strategy?
Yes — use the Internal Linking Path field to plan pillar-cluster or contextual links.
Q5. Do I need keyword tools for this?
Optional. You can use Semrush, Ahrefs, or even Perplexity/SGE outputs to discover supporting keywords.
