Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface cBioPortal/cbioportal, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition README's opening sentence to emphasize 'open-source platform'
Why:
CURRENTThe cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics provides visualization, analysis, and download of large-scale cancer genomics data sets.
COPY-PASTE FIXThe cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics is an open-source platform that provides visualization, analysis, and download of large-scale cancer genomics data sets.
- mediumtopics#2Add 'open-source-platform' and 'multi-omics' to topics
Why:
CURRENTcancer-genomics, precision-medicine, science, visualization
COPY-PASTE FIXcancer-genomics, precision-medicine, science, visualization, open-source-platform, multi-omics
- lowreadme#3Create a dedicated section for v7 adoption prerequisites
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section titled '## 🚀 Adopting v7: Key Changes & Prerequisites' to the README, and include the sentence: 'v7 introduces a ClickHouse-only database setup that is not compatible with earlier portal settings, traditional MySQL mode, or existing study importer tools.'
