Six guides, chosen from your answers. The full map is below if you want to wander.
Seven Layers, In Order
Each layer depends on the one before it. Skipping ahead is how brands end up with great content the crawlers cannot read.
Foundations
Start here if the vocabulary is new.
Access
Can the assistants read your site at all?
Structure and Entity
Can they understand who you are?
Content and Citations
What gets quoted, and where.
Shopping Assistants
How each assistant picks products.
Measurement
Proving it works.
Agency Decisions
Build, buy, or compare.
Three Ways Through, Depending on the Week
First time: left to right
Foundations, then Access, then Structure. Do not read a single content guide until the crawler and schema layers are done; that is a weekend of work and it is the part most brands skip.
Diagnosing: Access and Measurement
Not being cited? The audit guide in Access and the tracking tools in Measurement find out whether the problem is the door or the room.
Deciding: the last column
Whether to hire, whom to hire, and what it should cost, including a head-to-head with a competitor of ours. We wrote those to be argued with.
