The Day Your Website Died
The Day Your Website Died is the record of what happened when an AI engine started sending Richard Lowe paying clients before he had done anything deliberate to earn it. Two ghostwriting projects arrived, one through Perplexity and one through ChatGPT, off nothing more than a sound foundation built over years of ordinary search work. That sent him looking for a clear account of how answer engines actually decide who gets named, and when he could not find one, he built it. Forty-two chapters carry the method from the anchor schema block on your own site through Wikidata, the hard identifiers, listings and reviews, and the off-site sources the engines drink from, then out to reading your own server logs to confirm any of it is working. It is honest about the pace, which is a trickle rather than a big bang, and honest about the limits, with a full chapter on what barely moves the needle at all. Written by a ghostwriter who can build the schema and read the logs as easily as he can write the prose. -
