How AI search engines discover document workflows

AI search is changing how people find document tools. The pattern: ask a question, get an answer with one or two cited sources.

What AI search rewards - **Direct answers** in the first paragraph. - **Step-by-step structure** that maps cleanly to a HowTo schema. - **Topical depth** — multiple linked pages on the same problem, not a single thin page. - **Machine-readable hints** like `/llms.txt` and JSON-LD on every page.

Our approach Every [workflow page](/workflows) ships with HowTo + FAQ schema, breadcrumbs, and links into related categories and guides. A `/llms.txt` makes the ecosystem traversable for AI crawlers.

What's next for your team Pick the workflow your users ask about most. Build a category hub. Cluster supporting guides. Add schema. Then watch your AI citation rate climb.
