# AI Search Content Process: Review Steps Before Each Launch

AI search content process: the step I've added before anything goes live is a full review pass. I'm Marven Salgado, founder of Social Influence in Mascouche. Plenty of small business owners in Greater Montréal now draft faster with AI help, but the draft still needs a person to catch what the tool missed: wrong hours, a mismatched price, a claim nobody can back up. In Québec there are privacy and language rules to check as well. These are the steps I run every time, in the order I run them.

## AI search content process: why a review step now sits between writing and publishing

 A review step now sits between writing and publishing because Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and ChatGPT build answers from passages lifted out of several pages.

 When one of those systems pulls a sentence away from the text around it and presents it as fact, you lose control over how your message lands. So my AI search content process now includes a pre-launch content review built around one question: does this page still make sense if someone reads only three sentences of it?

 During the review I look for claims that need support, headings that would mislead if quoted on their own, and facts a summary could flatten into something inaccurate. Every other step I take to help a business get [found on Google and cited by AI](/systems/found-on-google-cited-by-ai/) assumes this review has already happened.

## Fact verification against the business's own pages

 Fact verification means checking every line of an AI-assisted draft against the business's own website and listings before it goes live, and cutting whatever those pages can't support.

 AI writing tools work from whatever they were given or found, which may be older than your current price list, so I read the draft line by line for prices, hours and service areas that have changed. If a line calls you the "top-rated" shop in Mascouche, or promises same-day service everywhere in Greater Montréal, I either find proof on your own site or I cut it.

### Prices, hours, service areas and claims you cannot support

 When an AI answer gets your hours, prices or service area wrong, it's usually repeating whatever it found last, often an old directory listing or a cached copy of your site. Before launch I compare the draft with three sources: your website, your Google Business Profile and any quote you've given me in writing. If one of them doesn't match, I fix it before the error spreads any further.

 | What I check | Where I look | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Hours | Site footer, Google Business Profile | Wrong hours turn away walk-ins |
| Prices | Service pages | Overpromising costs you trust |
| Service area | Google Business Profile, location pages | A wrong radius wastes leads |

 I also flag claims like "fastest in Montréal." AI tools repeat those too, and when the claim turns out to be wrong, the complaint lands on you.

## Google Business Profile and website consistency checks

 Google Business Profile and website consistency checks confirm that your name, address, phone number and hours match exactly in both places, because Google and AI answers draw business details from each.

 Before I launch anything, I go through the profile and the website side by side. Say the website gives 5 p.m. as closing time and the profile says 6 p.m. A system putting together an answer now has two versions of your hours to choose from, and a customer can end up with the wrong one. Services and the service area get the same treatment. If the profile lists a service the website never mentions, I add it to the site or remove it from the profile.

 The structured data on the page has to state the same facts, since it repeats them in a format machines read directly. Matching details remove one easy way for an answer to get your business wrong.

## Page structure for passages that AI answers can quote

 Page structure for quotable passages means the opening lines answer the main question, each heading says what its section covers, and every section makes sense when read alone.

 AI answers often show a short chunk of a page to someone who never sees the rest, so each chunk has to hold up once it's lifted out.

### Opening answer, headings and self-contained sections

 I check the opening paragraph first. It should answer the main question in two or three sentences, with no lead-up. Take a Laval dental clinic's page on emergency appointments: its first lines should say whether the clinic takes same-day emergencies and how to book one. The clinic's history can go further down the page.

 Next I review the headings. Each one should be a clear question or statement. A vague label like "Overview" tells readers nothing about what follows, and it gives a system matching headings to search intent nothing to work with. Here GEO (generative engine optimization) advice and plain good writing agree.

 Finally, I make sure each section works alone. I ask myself whether someone who read only that part would understand it without the rest of the page. If a section leans on "as mentioned above," or on a pronoun with nothing to point back to, I rewrite it before launch.

## Schema, internal links and Loi 25 and Loi 96 considerations

 Schema, internal links and Loi 25 and Loi 96 checks confirm the markup matches the page, related pages are linked, privacy and consent wording is current, and French versions exist where required.

 For a Québec business I build LocalBusiness schema with the name, address, phone number, hours and service area filled in. Those values have to match what the page shows and what the Google Business Profile says. Schema won't earn a citation by itself. It restates the page's facts in machine-readable form, so any mismatch there is one more conflicting version of the business.

 Internal links show how your pages connect, so each service page should link to related services and to the city pages for the same work. When I take on [SEO content writing](/services/seo-content-writing/) for a business, those links go in during the review pass.

 Two Québec laws also apply. Loi 25 covers personal information, so if the page has a form, the privacy policy has to be current and the consent wording has to say what's collected and why. Loi 96 covers French, so where the Charter of the French language requires it, a French version of the page has to exist and be at least as easy to reach as the English one. A page doesn't launch until every row in this table checks out:

 | Review step | What I check | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Schema fields | Name, address and hours match everywhere | Removes a conflicting version of your details |
| Internal links | Related services and city pages are linked | Shows how your topics connect |
| Loi 25 | Privacy policy and consent forms are current | Reduces legal exposure |
| Loi 96 | French version available where required | Meets the French-language rules |

## Pre-launch checklist and post-launch citation check for a Québec small business

 A pre-launch checklist for a Québec small business covers facts, consistency, structure, schema, links, the two laws and an owner's sign-off, and the citation check follows a few weeks after launch.

 Before a page goes live, I run through this list:

1. Every price, hour, service area and claim matches the business's website, Google Business Profile or written quote.
2. The first two or three sentences answer the page's main question.
3. The business name, address, phone number, hours and services match on the page, across the site and on the Google Business Profile.
4. Each heading says what its section covers, and each section makes sense on its own.
5. The schema markup validates without errors, and its values match what the page shows.
6. Internal links point to the right related pages.
7. The privacy policy and form consent wording are current (Loi 25), and the French version is in place where the law requires it (Loi 96).
8. Someone who knows the business, usually the owner, has read the page and signed off.

 The owner should give that last sign-off even when an agency does most of the writing, because the owner knows the prices, the service area and the customers better than anyone else.

 Once the page is published, I come back a few weeks later and search its main topics in ChatGPT, AI Overviews and AI Mode to see whether the business is mentioned or cited. In Search Console, the page's impressions show whether Google is surfacing it at all, and Google counts AI Overviews and AI Mode appearances in that same Performance report. You can also run an [AI visibility check](/tools/ai-visibility-check/) on the business if you'd rather not do those searches one at a time. If the business is missing, I go back to the page and ask whether it answers the question clearly enough, or whether another local business is answering it better.

 After that, I recheck reviewed pages every few months, and sooner whenever prices, hours or services change.
