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 kgateway-dev/kgateway, 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#1Clarify production readiness in README intro
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXInsert this sentence immediately after the main H1 title: 'Despite the "dev" in our repository name, Kgateway is a mature, production-ready solution, widely deployed across various environments.'
- highreadme#2Emphasize Kubernetes-native, Envoy, and Gateway API in README intro
Why:
CURRENTKgateway is the most mature and widely deployed gateway in the market today. Built on open source and open standards, **kgateway is a resilient and performance-oriented control plane that implements the Kubernetes Gateway API for Envoy**.
COPY-PASTE FIXKgateway is the leading Kubernetes-native API Gateway, built on Envoy and configured entirely via the Kubernetes Gateway API and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). It is the most mature and widely deployed gateway in the market today for microservices.
- mediumreadme#3Add 'AI Gateway' to README's use cases or features
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new bullet point or expand an existing one under 'Use Cases' to explicitly mention: '**AI Gateway**: Securely manage and expose AI/ML model APIs, applying policies like authentication, rate limiting, and traffic shaping.'
