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 tailscale-dev/ScaleTail, 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.

OVERALL DIRECTION
  • highreadme#1
    Clarify README's opening statement to emphasize 'Docker sidecar for Tailscale'

    Why:

    CURRENT
    ScaleTail - Secure Self-Hosting Made Simple. ScaleTail provides ready-to-run Docker Compose stacks that instantly connect your self-hosted applications to your Tailnet. By using a Docker sidecar configuration, your applications get an URL with automatic HTTPS, for example: `https://application.tail-net.ts.net`.
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    ScaleTail: Ready-to-run Docker Compose stacks for secure self-hosting with Tailscale sidecar configurations. Instantly connect your self-hosted applications to your Tailnet, gaining automatic HTTPS via a Docker sidecar, e.g., `https://application.tail-net.ts.net`.
  • hightopics#2
    Add 'docker-sidecar' to the repository topics

    Why:

    CURRENT
    docker, docker-compose, dockercompose, hacktoberfest, self-hosted, sidecar, sidecar-container, sidecar-proxy, tailscale, tailscale-exit-node, tailscale-network, tailscale-proxy, zero-trust
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    docker, docker-compose, dockercompose, docker-sidecar, hacktoberfest, self-hosted, sidecar, sidecar-container, sidecar-proxy, tailscale, tailscale-exit-node, tailscale-network, tailscale-proxy, zero-trust
  • mediumreadme#3
    Add a prominent disclaimer about experimental status to the README

    Why:

    COPY-PASTE FIX
    ⚠️ **EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT:** ScaleTail is an experimental project, not a supported Tailscale product, and is not production-ready. It is not secure, not stable, not performant, not feature complete, and not easy to operate. Use at your own risk.
