AI Overview Brand Mention Checklist

Operating workflow

1. Inventory verdicts, comparison rows, scores, pros and cons, FAQs, schema fields, CTA copy, and answer-ready summaries.
2. Classify each statement as approved, contradictory, stronger-than-evidence, stale, unclear entity reference, or AI-citation unsafe.
3. Resolve conflicts by selecting one buyer-useful claim hierarchy and documenting the evidence source behind it.
4. Add caveats, dates, and entity names where AI systems or users could otherwise quote the page incorrectly.
5. Deploy only after local files, hub links, sitemap, preview URL, and production URL pass 200 checks.

Reusable fields

Publish gate

• No module contradicts the final verdict or buyer-fit recommendation.
• Schema, FAQ, and visible copy make the same claim at the same strength.
• AI-answer sections include entity names, dated evidence, caveats, and source hierarchy.
• Affiliate disclosure appears before monetized decision points.
