Lock the question and environment
Core observations use non-brand buyer questions. Brand-fit and competitor questions remain diagnostic and separate.
中文GEO METHODOLOGY · GOOGLE AI SEARCH
We treat an AI-search answer as an observation produced under a specific question and environment. Comparison becomes meaningful only when the question set, market, language, time, source state and human QA are recorded.
DIRECT ANSWER · CURRENT SCOPE
Before observation, CLEARCRAFT fixes the non-brand buyer questions, market, language, platform, date and available settings. It preserves raw answers, cited URLs, no-answer states, errors, unknown sources and off-topic responses. Only comparable, complete and human-reviewed observations enter the core interpretation; platform observations, search performance, website activity and commercial outcomes remain separate evidence sets.
Boundary: The result is a reviewable observation under stated conditions, not an overall AI ranking, long-term trend or proof that a content change caused an outcome.
Core observations use non-brand buyer questions. Brand-fit and competitor questions remain diagnostic and separate.
Keep the timestamp, provider or surface, raw answer, cited URL or unknown source state and QA record.
No answer, errors, incomplete citations, format failures and off-topic responses remain visible and outside core KPIs.
People verify question intent, source status, entity identification and completeness before a finding is used.
WHAT THE RECORD SUPPORTS
Questions, environment, raw answers, citation states, human QA, exceptions and possible actions are presented separately.
An answer may not exist; a source can be unknown; and platforms change. A snapshot cannot prove ranking, causation or a long-term trend.
Human QA precedes any KPI or public claim. Clients confirm their own facts and regulated language.
BUYER QUESTIONS
It is a snapshot of a question, environment and source state. A comparison needs repeated observations under the same locked configuration.
No answer, system errors, unknown or incomplete sources, format anomalies, off-topic content and pending reviews. They are not zero scores.
No. Each surface, provider and source environment is recorded and interpreted separately.
USE THE METHOD
AI tools support the workflow but do not replace evidence capture, review or accountable approval.
