    <summary type="html">AI isn’t coming for your website. It’s already here, squinting at your copy and deciding whether you know what you’re talking about. Between ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and every other “smart” tool pretending to be your digital intern, your website isn’t just being seen anymore. It’s being interpreted. That means if your site isn’t structured, readable, and built with clear signals, AI is probably confused. And confused AI doesn’t recommend you (or lead to more revenue). Let’s help you fix that.</summary>
