# Michigan AIVO Training

> A plain-language teaching hub for AIVO (AI Visibility Optimization) aimed at Michigan business owners. This site explains what AIVO is, why it matters when customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot for recommendations, and how a Michigan business earns a citation inside an AI answer. It is an education resource, not a services catalog. For professional AIVO/GEO services and current pricing, see appwt.com.

## What This Site Teaches

Michigan AIVO Training focuses on one job: helping a Michigan owner understand AI visibility well enough to act on it. The lessons stay concrete and local.

- What AIVO means and how it differs from traditional SEO
- How AI assistants read the open web and decide which business to name
- The technical basics: llms.txt, schema markup, a robots.txt allow-list for AI crawlers, and page speed
- The content basics: answer-first writing, FAQ structure, and Speakable markup
- The authority basics: consistent name, address, and phone details across the web
- How to measure AI visibility over time instead of guessing

## Who It Is For

Local service providers, professional practices, shops, restaurants, healthcare offices, and any Michigan business that wants an AI assistant to name it when a nearby customer asks a buying question.

## Scope and Boundaries
