How to implement

  • Build AI Search with an answer-first structure (definition, impact, how-to).
  • Add examples and copy-paste snippets.
  • Link internally to related terms and services.

Common pitfalls

  • No examples or templates for quick implementation.

  • Internal KPIs: scroll depth, CTA CTR, dwell time.
