## Summary
Use this free planner to map high-intent AI search prompts to the public source page, dataset, answer structure, evidence requirement, schema, and source mention rule that should support the answer.

## Audience
Founders, SEO teams, SaaS marketers, agencies, and teams planning source coverage for AI search.

## Key points
- Maps query intent to answer pages, comparison pages, datasets, source mention graphs, source summaries, author profiles, press kits, tools, examples, and prompt suites.
- Turns each source into an evidence requirement, structure requirement, schema or format hint, and source mention rule.
- Uses a public template dataset so humans, spreadsheets, and teams can cite the source-coverage model.

## Use the free source planner
Choose a public source type, enter the target query, audience, brand, public proof, canonical source URL, and supporting data URL. The planner creates a source coverage brief for humans and teams.

## Why source coverage matters for AI visibility
AI systems select sources from pages, source mentions, structured data, entity profiles, and retrievable text. A source planner makes the intended evidence path explicit instead of hoping a generic blog post is selected.

- Match the query intent to the strongest public source surface.
- Use original data, author/entity context, source summaries, and answer-first passages where they fit.
- Keep source mention rules public, verifiable, and tied to visible source evidence.

## Public source files
Use these files when a spreadsheet, public AI search visibility brief, operator, or content workflow needs exact source coverage rows.

## How to use this tool
Start with a specific product, audience, offer, or workflow goal. The output is strongest when the tool has enough context to choose a format, write the first slide, and keep the CTA aligned with the real landing page.

- Bring a product URL, approved product facts, existing images, proof, objections, and the next action you want viewers to take.
- Generate more than one angle, but change one variable at a time: hook, proof order, objection, or CTA.
- Review every claim against the product page or approved brand material before publishing.

## What to check before publishing
A generated TikTok slideshow or ad concept still needs a human review pass. Treat the page as a production helper, not a substitute for claim, rights, and platform review.

- Claim check: price, shipping, comparison, performance, health, savings, and review claims are supported.
- Rights check: product images, reviews, screenshots, creator references, music, and likenesses are cleared for the intended channel.
- Fit check: the first slide matches the audience problem, the final slide asks for one clear action, and the destination page supports that action.

## FAQ
### What does this planner include?
It maps public source types, evidence requirements, source mention rules, structure requirements, schema hints, and planning use cases.

### How is this different from a brand mention brief?
A brand mention brief defines wording for public mentions. A source plan defines which public source should support an AI answer and what evidence, structure, and data format it needs.

### Can teams cite the source planner template?
Yes. The template has a public page asset page, source summary, JSON route, CSV route, data catalog entry, and operator discovery capability.
