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 marin-m/SongRec, 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.

- mediumcomparison#3Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section to your README, for example, after 'How it works': ## Comparison to Alternatives SongRec is a unique, native, and open-source Shazam client specifically built for Linux desktop users. Unlike proprietary mobile applications such as Shazam or SoundHound, SongRec offers transparency and runs directly on your Linux system without emulation. It also differs from developer libraries like ACRCloud or AcoustID, as SongRec is a complete, user-ready application with both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface (CLI), rather than a toolkit for building other applications.
