Across higher education, public agencies, and the nonprofit sector, 2026 brought a hard shift. AI now answers most questions directly, and overlooked pages lose the visit before it begins.
Drawn from Google’s first official AI search guidance, published May 2026, it translates each recommendation into concrete, Drupal-native changes and a phased plan your team can begin within the first week.

Indexing, crawl budget, server-rendered HTML, canonicals, and sections an AI can extract. - How to be citable, not just published.
First-hand content, named authors, labeled fields, depth over breadth, plus a gap analysis. - What Google wants you to stop doing.
AI-specific schema, FAQ markup, llms.txt, content chunking, and volume publishing waste budget. - A 90-day plan with wins at each stage.
