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 andrehuang/research-companion, 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.
- hightopics#1Add specific topics to improve categorization
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX["strategic-research", "idea-evaluation", "project-triage", "brainstorming", "claude-code", "ai-assistant", "research-workflow", "academic-research"]
- highcomparison#2Add a dedicated 'What makes it different?' section to README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section to the README, e.g., 'What makes Research Companion different?', explicitly stating: 'Unlike tools focused on literature review (Elicit, ResearchRabbit) or general AI assistance (ChatGPT), Research Companion specializes in strategic idea evaluation, project triage, and structured brainstorming. Its core purpose is to help you decide *which* papers to write, not just how to write them or find existing research.'
- mediumhomepage#3Add a homepage URL to the repository settings
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXSet the repository homepage URL in the 'About' section to a relevant project page, documentation, or the `researcher-pack` repository if it provides a more comprehensive overview of the integrated toolkit.
