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 Sep 14, 2026.

Main read

ChatGPT is the priority because it cited Team Renick on 10/50 prompts (20%). That trails the stronger LLM by 65 points, so this week’s work should focus on pages ChatGPT skipped even when Perplexity or Gemini found us.

Who ChatGPT used instead

kiplinger.com (3), youtube.com (3), dockbuildersflorida.com (2), latestcost.com (2), axios.com (2)

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.
