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#1Reposition the README H1 to explicitly state core identity
Why:
CURRENT<h1 align="center"> ... The most widely deployed gateway in Kubernetes for microservices </h1>
COPY-PASTE FIX<h1 align="center"> ... kgateway: The Cloud-Native API Gateway and Envoy-based Control Plane for Kubernetes Gateway API </h1>
- mediumreadme#2Add a 'Key Differentiators' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section, perhaps after 'Use Cases', titled 'Key Differentiators' with content like: '### Key Differentiators Kgateway stands out by offering a native and explicit implementation of the Kubernetes Gateway API, leveraging Envoy as its high-performance data plane. This provides a future-proof, standard-compliant, and highly extensible API management solution specifically designed for modern Kubernetes environments, ensuring seamless integration and advanced traffic control.'
- lowabout#3Align repository description with README content regarding 'AI Gateway'
Why:
CURRENTThe Cloud-Native API Gateway and AI Gateway
COPY-PASTE FIXIf 'AI Gateway' functionality is not a primary feature or is not documented in the README, update the description to: 'The Cloud-Native API Gateway for Kubernetes and Microservices.'
