    Definitions in this cluster

    • Generative engine optimisation

      Generative engine optimisation is the practice of structuring content so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode — can extract, trust and cite it. It favours direct answers, clear structure, verifiable sources and machine-readable schema.

    • Topical authority

      Topical authority is the degree to which a site is treated as a credible source across an entire subject area rather than for individual keywords. It comes from covering a topic comprehensively, coherently interlinked, with consistent expertise signals.

    • Topic cluster

      A topic cluster is a pillar page covering a broad subject plus a set of child pages covering its sub-questions, all linked to each other. It is the standard architecture for building topical authority.

    • Structured data

      Structured data is machine-readable markup — usually JSON-LD following schema.org — that states explicitly what a page is about: article, product, FAQ, organisation, author. Search engines and AI models use it to interpret and attribute content.

    • Lead scoring

      Lead scoring ranks inbound prospects by likelihood to buy, using firmographic fit and behavioural signals. AI improves it by reading unstructured signals — email replies, call notes, site behaviour — that rule-based scores miss.
