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 travisvn/chatterbox-tts-api, 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 the README's opening to explicitly state its role as an OpenAI TTS API alternative
Why:
CURRENT**FastAPIpowered REST API for Chatterbox TTS, providing OpenAI-compatible text-to-speech endpoints with voice cloning capabilities and additional features on top of the `chatterbox-tts` base package.
COPY-PASTE FIXA self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible Text-to-Speech (TTS) API, built with FastAPI and Chatterbox TTS. This project provides a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's TTS API, enabling local voice cloning and speech generation for applications like Open WebUI and AnythingLLM, offering greater privacy and cost control.
- mediumtopics#2Refine topics to emphasize OpenAI API compatibility and self-hosting
Why:
CURRENTai, chatgpt, chatterbox, cuda, docker, elevenlabs, gpt, local-llm, ollama, open-webui, openai, openai-api, python, self-hosted, speech, text-to-speech, tts, voice-clone, voice-cloning

- lowreadme#3Add a "Comparison to Alternatives" section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, e.g., `## Comparison to Alternatives`, that explicitly outlines how Chatterbox TTS API differentiates itself from OpenAI's official TTS API (e.g., self-hosted, privacy, cost) and other generic local TTS engines (e.g., OpenAI API compatibility, advanced features).
