Full primer (owner): /learn/weekly-ai-visibility-operating-rhythm

This applies the practice to Candles — for the head how-to, use the Learn link above. Niche context: Candle shoppers ask AI about clean burns, scent strength, soy vs coconut wax, and gifts that feel premium.

Rhythm beats heroics

Candles teams win AI visibility with a weekly loop, not quarterly panic. Primer: weekly operating rhythm.

Measure on a fixed panel

Use the same candles prompts. Do not rotate questions to manufacture SoV.

Triage rule

Each week pick one technical theme or one content cluster — not both sprawling. Heroes first.

Ship changes that are crawlable

If the fact is not in HTML, it does not count. Verify after theme/app changes.

Monthly citation push

Pair ops with citation strategy for prompts you still lose in candles.
