# Brand, Trust, Authority
**Brand, Trust, Authority** performs a deep diagnostic audit on your tracked project to isolate why AI search engines aren't citing your brand, what is causing the gaps, and the exact sequence of fixes required.
**Prerequisite:** Requires at least one full capture cycle of tracked prompts.
## What Brand, Trust, Authority Does
A high-level visibility score hides underlying issues—such as crawl blocks, inaccurate brand facts, or a lack of third-party corroboration. This diagnostic identifies root causes and translates them into a clear task list and 90-day execution roadmap.
### Diagnostic Scope & Guardrails
* **Independent Engine Scrapes:** Evaluates ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews separately without blending data.
* **9 Core Audit Domains:** Analyzes crawlability, retrieval access, factual accuracy, passage extractability, and off-site corroboration.
* **Evidence-Based Reporting:** Every finding must be backed by concrete evidence (such as dates, URLs, or specific numbers). Unverified observations are routed to the report's *Limitations* section.
* **Root-Cause Grouping:** Converts complex symptoms into 10 to 16 actionable tasks organized into a 90-day roadmap (Days 1–30: Correct & Unblock; Days 31–60: Build Coverage; Days 61–90: Corroborate & Validate).
## What Amadora Never Recommends
To prevent wasting effort on tactics that do not drive LLM citations, the diagnostic explicitly filters out unproven AI search tactics:
| Discouraged Tactic | Why It Is Excluded |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Publishing** `llms.txt `**files** | No AI engine currently retrieves or ranks content based on `llms.txt` files. |
| **Adding schema for citations** | Schema helps machine parsing but cannot compensate for unquotable copy. |
| **Increasing keyword density** | Retrieval relies on passage context and semantic meaning, not keyword frequency. |
| **Publishing thin content pages** | Dilutes site authority and forces LLMs to parse low-quality candidates. |
| **Self-written "best tools" lists** | AI models prioritize independent third-party corroboration over vendor self-claims. |
| **Fake reviews or forum seeding** | Artificial sentiment signals trigger risk flags and are actively penalized. |
| **Chasing raw backlink volume** | Presence on platforms where engines actively look matters more than link quantity. |
## Deliverables & Exports
### 1. In-App Action Plan
Review items under **Suggested for review**. Click **Accept** to add an item to your tracked work checklist with full implementation specs, or **Decline** to dismiss it.
### 2. Audit Register Workbook (XLSX)
* **Register Sheet:** Detailed inventory listing Finding ID, Problem Class (Blocker, Accuracy, Coverage, Authority, Entity, Extraction, Local, Commercial, Measurement), Observation, Evidence, Root Cause, Priority (P0–P4), and Action Type.
* **Tasks Sheet:** Task IDs, roadmap phase, problem description, step-by-step implementation instructions, and acceptance criteria.
* **Baseline Sheet:** Standardized metric baseline to benchmark performance before and after completing tasks.
### 3. Strategy & Audit Report (DOCX)
An 11-page executive report covering findings, competitor benchmarks, and the complete 90-day strategy roadmap.
## Action Routing Matrix
Findings generated by the audit route directly into other **Actions** modules for resolution:
| Finding Action Type | Destination Module / Next Step |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **New-page** | **Site Structure** — Add recommended pages and generate landing page drafts. |
| **Content-improve** | **Content Creation** — Update existing posts for extractability and coverage. |
| **PR** | **Mentions & Backlinks** — Build off-site presence across cited platforms. |
| **Technical** | **Skills** — Run on-page SEO and crawlability audits. |
| **Measurement** | **Prompts & Topics** — Adjust tracking setups and reference the **Baseline Sheet**. |
| **Entity / Correction / Local** | Manual execution — Update knowledge panels, correct third-party facts, or fix directory listings. |
## Recommended Execution Workflow
1. **Review Executive Summary:** Identify primary visibility blockers in the report.
2. **Resolve P0 and P1 Blockers First:** Address factual errors (P0) and crawling/retrieval blocks (P1) before creating new content.
3. **Triage In-App:** Accept tasks for the current quarter and decline unprioritized suggestions.
4. **Route Tasks:** Use the **Action Routing Matrix** to execute tasks across **Site Structure**, **Content Creation**, and **Mentions & Backlinks**.
5. **Re-Measure Baseline:** Audit progress against the **Baseline Sheet** at Day 90.
## FAQs
Findings require empirical evidence (such as specific dates, URLs, or data points). Unbacked observations are routed to the report's *Limitations* section instead.
**Skills** provides on-demand technical scans of your live URL. **Brand, Trust, Authority** is a multi-engine diagnostic analyzing captured AI responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
