Start with accessible information
A page needs to present its topic clearly. Title, introduction, sections, and links help both people and systems understand the content. SEO is about discovery in search engines; GEO is a term used for practices aimed at understanding and presence in responses from AI systems.
None of these practices guarantees recommendation or ranking. In this module, the goal is to correct verifiable problems on the site: pages without identity, content that’s hard to find, and contradictory information. The result will be an audit, not a traffic promise.
Why learn
Working with observable changes prevents measuring success only by a tool score. You improve the site’s usefulness and record what was effectively fixed.
✓ Do
Relate each recommendation to a page.
✗ Avoid
Promise that a score guarantees AI recommendation.
Key concepts
Give a reference to what deserves it
If multiple services appear only on a single page without specific links, it’s hard to point to an item. A single page or a stable anchor makes it possible to share the exact location of the information. Choose the right solution for the size of the content.
The reference must lead to the promised content. Avoid almost-empty pages created only to multiply URLs. A service needs a description, conditions, and the next step. Test the link in a new window and confirm it remains useful outside the original navigation.
Why learn
A specific reference makes it easier to look up, cite, and maintain. It also reduces ambiguity when someone shares only one service from the catalog.
A way to apply
- List pages and essential information.
- Choose three problems with small fixes.
- Apply, repeat the test, and record the difference.
Key concepts
Keep identity consistent
Name, description, and contacts need to represent the same organization. A page with three different brands without an explanation can confuse readers. If there are distinct brands, units, or products, explain the relationship instead of just repeating names.
Also check existing page titles, footer, and structured data. What appears in machine-readable information must match the visible content. Don’t add ratings, customers, or credentials the site can’t demonstrate.
Why learn
Consistency helps people understand who offers the content and how to contact them. It prevents contradictions introduced by templates and copied pages.
Page: /servicos/revisao-de-texto/
Problem: the title only says “Service”.
Impact: the topic isn’t clear when opening the page by itself.
Correction: name the service and explain input, output, and timeline.
Verification: open the URL and locate those three pieces of information.
Key concepts
Use evidence that supports the text
Technical claims, numbers, and comparisons need appropriate support for the topic. A reference should demonstrate the statement, not just cover a similar subject. When the information is based on your own experience, describe the method, context, and limitations.
Separate fictional examples of real results. On a demo site, identify illustrative data. A catalog can explain a service without inventing testimonials or metrics. The quality of the information matters more than the number of visual badges.
Why learn
The reader needs to be able to distinguish description, evidence, and hypothesis. This clarity helps evaluate trust and reduces the chance that a promotional sentence turns into an improper promise.
✓ Do
Keep visible, consistent structured data.
✗ Avoid
Create empty pages only to increase URLs.
Key concepts
Turn the audit into tasks
A report should point to the page, the problem, the impact, and the smallest correction. Prioritize what prevents finding or understanding essential information. A score can summarize criteria, but it doesn’t replace describing what needs to change.
After the change, repeat the same check. If the problem was a link that didn’t lead to the service, the test is to open that address and confirm the destination. Don’t use a higher score as the only proof that the issue was resolved.
Why learn
Small tasks make the audit executable. Repeating the same test connects recommendation and outcome without depending on a later subjective assessment.
| Criterion | Expected evidence |
|---|---|
| Destination | Links lead to the promised content. |
| Identity | Name and contacts are consistent. |
| Evidence | Corrections have test and recorded results. |
Key concepts
Practice: audit five pages
Choose an exercise site or your own project and select five pages. Record the topic, address, identity, and next step for each one. Identify up to three problems and propose fixes with evidence of conclusion.
If you don’t yet have a site, use five local HTML documents as a simulation. The exercise can be completed without publishing anything. What matters is that another person can open the destinations and understand the information without relying on external explanations.
Why learn
This practice prepares you to deliver a useful audit. It also shows that good structure and consistent information can be verified before any publication.
Your exercise
A catalog shows three services on a single page, without anchors, and the footer uses another company name without an explanation. Propose two fixes and how to test them.
Download practice sheetCheck the commented answer
Create stable anchors or useful pages for each service and verify direct links. Fix the footer name or explain the relationship between the brands; compare the header, footer, and the contact page. These changes improve clarity, without guaranteeing ranking or recommendation.
