In this episode, Jules White shares three practical questions you can ask your web developer, VA, or yourself to check whether your website is truly ready for AI search - or if it's missing the basic building blocks.

Jules explains why many websites, even newly built ones, often lack SEO foundations like clear page targeting, proper structure, and internal linking - and how this affects both traditional and AI-driven search. Drawing from real client experiences, she highlights the risks of assuming your website is “SEO-ready” without evidence, especially during a redesign or migration.

Whether you manage your site yourself or have a team, these checks will help you feel more informed and confident about what’s in place - and what might still need attention.

Key Takeaways:

• Why being told “your SEO is all sorted” can be a red flag
• Why SEO often isn’t included in website builds unless explicitly discussed
  Three clear questions to ask your support team (or yourself) to assess visibility
  The role of structure and internal linking in both Google and AI tools
  Why visibility in tools like ChatGPT and Gemini depends on solid foundations
  Encouragement to make small, consistent improvements without overwhelm
