Ready for AI search?
Your audience wants answers, not links. Generative engines are rewriting the rules of search as we type — and how you structure your content is the ticket to discoverability as organic traffic shrinks.Â
The good news? Storyblok had structured content built in from day one — some might say we saw the future.
Search has changed. Be ready with AI-discoverable content.
AI search is the new front door to your brand and content. Traditional search is losing ground as audiences migrate to AI search engines that deliver the answers they want in one take (with zero clicks) — and make purchase decisions there and then. If your content isn’t well-structured, current, and easy for machines to understand, your brand risks being left out in the era of AI search.
Be found.
AI search engines want structure — your content hierarchy is the blueprint for any AI to crawl, understand, and leverage your content in answer generation. If your CMS doesn’t have structured, nestable, reusable components to build the content on your site, your brand could be invisible in AI search.Â
The pillars of AI readability:
- Reusable and composable: Create once, share everywhere with modular content blocks that enable AI engines to access information on any channel.Â
- Structured hierarchy: Organize content into a logical hierarchy so AI engines can understand sections, topics, and data easily. Â
- Go headless: Use a CMS that decouples content from presentation, delivers instantly through APIs for content consistency and AI discoverability.Â
Be clear.
AI engines crawl your entire content library for answers — accurate or not. Every piece of content you’ve ever created could be used to generate answers, making it more critical than ever to curb content debt. Your CMS needs an intuitive, structured user experience that empowers content creators to publish, update, and retire content quickly — no coding or developer support.
How to ensure content health for AI search:
- Spot risks: Catch outdated, incorrect, or off-brand content before it trips up AI search — and fix it fast with quick updates or removal.
- Keep it fresh: AI values fresh, accurate content — publish regular new content that clearly and succinctly answers audience questions.Â
- Maintain accuracy: Make every answer count by ensuring information is accurate on every channel so AI (and your audience) can trust it.
Be chosen.
Today, brands have to be chosen twice — first by AI engines that use your content in their answers, and then by audiences who decide those answers are worth trusting. AI discoverability requires accurate, structured, and succinct content that addresses your audience's questions — a headless CMS makes this possible. Machine-readable, human-friendly content that’s ready to be discovered and shared is easier than you think with Storyblok.
