HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

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 github/how-engineering-communicates, 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.

    Why:

    CURRENT
    As a company that's been remote-first since day one, GitHub Engineering has learned a lot about how to communicate effectively across time zones, teams, and tools. We've distilled our experience into a set of guidelines that we call "How we communicate". We hope that by sharing our communication practices publicly, we can help other organizations that are embracing remote work or want to improve their collaboration culture.
    COPY-PASTE FIX

    Why:

    CURRENT
    A community version of the "common API" for how the GitHub Engineering organization communicates
    COPY-PASTE FIX
