Current Recommendations Based on This Week’s Results
Updated every Monday from the same measured prompts, ChatGPT misses, movement data, and Off-Page Hit List. Week of Oct 5, 2026.
Main read
ChatGPT is the priority because it cited Team Renick on 8/50 prompts (16%). That trails the stronger LLM by 54 points, so this week’s work should focus on pages ChatGPT skipped even when Perplexity or Gemini found us.

Weekly playbook: Treat these as WF04-grade refresh candidates, not manual copy edits. For each ChatGPT-missed post, improve the Quick Answer, add the supporting table/checklist, refresh FAQPage eligibility, add internal/authority links, verify widget fit, and run the normal WF04/N8N gates before publishing. A recommendation is not considered ready until it can pass Quick Answer length, Phase 1.11 consistency, FAQPage verification, v9/v10/footer checks, testimonial count, and slug/date preservation.
