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 membrane/api-gateway, 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 opening to highlight unique strengths
Why:
CURRENTLightweight **API Gateway** for **REST**, **GraphQL** and **legacy Web Services**, easily extended with powerful plugins. Built on the **Java platform**, Membrane integrates seamlessly with enterprise technologies while delivering high performance and scalability.
COPY-PASTE FIXMembrane is a truly open-source **API Gateway** written in **Java**, offering native **OpenAPI** support and optimized for **container deployments**. It is easily extensible, supports **legacy XML and SOAP** web services, and provides a lightweight solution for **REST** and **GraphQL** APIs.
- mediumtopics#2Add specific topics for legacy protocols and deployment
Why:
CURRENTapi, api-gateway, graphql, oauth2, openapi, rest
COPY-PASTE FIXapi, api-gateway, graphql, oauth2, openapi, rest, xml, soap, containers, microservices
- lowreadme#3Introduce a 'Key Differentiators' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section to the README, for example: `## Key Differentiators Unlike many API gateways that function primarily as standalone services, Membrane is designed to be lightweight and embeddable, particularly within Java applications.`
