Why the reading layout matters for AI search
AI assistants and search engines can quote a guide more easily when it is easy to scan: clear headings, a direct answer near the start and sections a reader can jump to. The blocks on this page help with what sits around the text: a table of contents built from the headings, who wrote the guide and links to related guides.
Reading progress
A thin bar at the top of the screen shows how far through the guide the reader is. With reduced motion turned on, it jumps to each new position instead of sliding.
Table of contents
The table of contents is built from the guide's own headings. On a wide screen it stays at the side, as on this page; on a phone or in a short guide it sits at the top.
Author box
Who is behind the guide, with links to learn more or get in touch.
Related guides
At the end of a guide, a list of other guides on the same subject, as a grid or a list. Here it shows three guides published on this site.
Sharing
The share bar uses the phone's own share menu where there is one, copies the link and shares to X and LinkedIn. Bluesky, Mastodon and Reddit can be added; this example adds Bluesky.
Sign-up form
Web Builder also has a sign-up form for the end of a guide. This site has no newsletter, so the form is not shown here.
