The terms, defined once
Every term the product uses, in one paragraph, with the page where the term does its work.
8 terms. Each one links to the product.
- AI citation
An AI citation is a visible reference to a page in an answer written by a language model. It is measured with repeated prompts; no site controls it.
- Canonical URL
A canonical URL is the address a page declares as its true location with rel=canonical. It consolidates duplicates and must match the sitemap and hreflang.
- Change set
A change set is one proposed website change, written in a sandbox, previewed, run through the gates, approved or rejected, then deployed and measured.
- Core Web Vitals
Core Web Vitals are Google page-experience metrics — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift — measured on real devices.
- GEO (generative engine optimization)
Generative engine optimization makes a site easy for an AI answer engine to retrieve, verify and cite: clear answers, entity facts, schema and bot access.
- llms.txt
llms.txt is a plain-text file proposed at a site's root to summarise it for language models and link key pages. It is a convention, not a standard.
- Redirect map
A redirect map records the decision for every legacy URL: keep the path, redirect it, remove it or flag it for review. It is tested before cutover.
- SEO contract
An SEO contract is the fixed list of search facts a migration must keep — URLs, titles, canonicals, schema, sitemap and robots — checked as a pass-or-fail gate.
The free redirect-map checker puts one of these terms to work on a real list of URLs.
