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 deta/surf, 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.

- mediumreadme#3Add an explicit comparison section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Why Deta Surf? (Compared to Obsidian, Logseq, and Joplin) While tools like Obsidian and Logseq excel at note-taking, Deta Surf is built from the ground up as an AI-first notebook for multi-media research. Unlike web clippers or simple note apps, Surf integrates AI directly to generate notes from files and web content, keeping everything local and open.
