How AI Decides What to Cite — Free AEO Sessions & the Starter Pack
Search ranks pages. AI cites sources — and whether it cites yours can be counted. This page is the front door to a free run of live sessions where Will Tygart teaches the system behind 988 tracked pages and about 1.62 million counted AI citations: take the free Starter Pack now, bring your question to a session, and start from the material that’s already here. No pitch. Receipts, not claims.
Get the free AEO Starter Pack
The Starter Pack is a short PDF: AEO in four lines, the bait board measurement explained, what the pages AI cites have in common, and the five starter moves. Enter your email and it’s yours — the same pack, whether or not you make a live session.
Prefer not to use the form? The pack is also a direct download: https://tygartmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/aeo-starter-pack.pdf
Pack version: November 4, 2026. When the pack changes, the new version lands at the same link, stamped with its date.
The sessions — free, remote, 1:00 PM Pacific
Thirty minutes each on Google Meet (the flagship runs 75). Every session is recorded and posted to the Tygart Media YouTube channel afterward. Register on LinkedIn or just show up with the Meet link.

Bring your question
Three short questions — your site, whether AI cites it, and the one thing you want answered. Will reads every answer before each session and opens with what people sent:

Questions people ask
Is it really free? Yes. No pitch deck at the end — the work is the pitch.
Do I need to be a developer? No. You need to publish pages. Developers, founders, and operators all run this play.
What if I can’t make a live? Take the pack, answer the form, and pick “send me the recordings” — every session lands on YouTube.
Why give the system away? Because the knowledge was never the scarce part. The implementation is.
