  1. Do you own your primary publishing platform? (Not Substack, Medium, or LinkedIn)
  2. Is your content structured for both humans and AI systems?
  3. Do you have schema markup on your key pages?
  4. Is your internal linking building topical authority — or just navigation?
  5. Do you have an email list that you own and control?
  6. Are you building content assets that compound — or posts that expire?
  7. Do you know what your site is currently cited for in AI answers?
  8. Is your site architecture designed as a library or a blog archive?
  9. Do you have a content system — or just a publishing habit?
  10. Could your site survive losing all social traffic tomorrow?
Your score
