As SEO professionals, we're witnessing a fundamental shift. While we've mastered tracking clicks and rankings, AI Overviews and direct answers from platforms like ChatGPT are changing the game. Our clients' content is being used, but the value isn't always captured in our traditional analytics.
This isn't just about adapting; it's about evolving our strategy. The SPARK Framework™ was developed for this exact challenge. It provides a structured methodology to move from a keyword-centric approach to an entity-based one, focusing on becoming the citable authority that AI models trust.
For example, the Answer Readiness pillar isn't just about FAQs; it's about structuring data so effectively that AI systems can directly synthesize it into answers, positioning your brand as the source.
Question for the community: How are you adapting your client reporting to demonstrate value when success is a citation in an AI answer, not just a click-through?
