SEO ACTION CHECKLIST
For Google Updates & AI Search | June 2026
1. OPTIMIZE CONTENT FOR AI VISIBILITY
Use intentgaps.com to scan your pages and find what questions you are not answering
Make sure content fully answers user questions — don’t just give partial information
Keep important details clear and near the top of the page
Add relevant FAQs to cover all common search queries
Review and edit all AI‑written content — add facts, examples, and your own expertise before publishing
2. GET READY FOR AI AGENTS (Gemini Spark & Others)
List your services, prices, opening hours, location, and contact details clearly and consistently
Use simple, structured language so AI tools can easily read and compare your business
Add accurate data to your Google Business Profile and website — no conflicting information
Make it easy to book, call, or get directions directly from your site
3. CONNECT & TRACK PERFORMANCE
Link your Google Business Profile to GA4 as soon as the feature becomes available
Once launched, check Google Search Console regularly to see how your pages appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode
Track these metrics: impressions, clicks, countries, and devices for AI‑generated results
4. STRENGTHEN LOCAL TRUST & PROOF
Keep your Google Business Profile updated: photos, services, hours, and offers
Respond to all reviews — both good and bad
Post updates on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram with photos, videos, and customer feedback
These act as “evidence” that helps Google and AI tools trust your business
5. AVOID THESE MISTAKES
- Don’t publish unedited or mass‑produced AI content
- Don’t stuff keywords or over‑optimize text
- Don’t leave GBP details outdated or inconsistent across platforms
