AIXiamo SEO / AI Experiment Ledger - 2026-07-05
Purpose: daily experimental ledger for organic search, AI recommendation, external referral, and conversion research.

Official method basis:
- Google Search Central generative AI optimization guide
  URL: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/ai-optimization-guide
  Action rule: AI visibility in Google Search still depends on core Search ranking, quality, crawlability, snippets, and useful content. Do not rely on special AI files as a ranking shortcut.
- Google helpful, reliable, people-first content guidance
  URL: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content
  Action rule: Public pages should solve real user intent, avoid scaled low-value content, and provide a satisfying answer before conversion.
- Google Search Essentials
  URL: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials
  Action rule: Use the words users search for in titles, headings, descriptive text, links, and crawlable pages.
- Bing Webmaster Guidelines and AI search performance guidance
  URL: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/webmaster-guidelines-30fba23a
  Action rule: Keep content unique, accurate, focused, crawlable, and aligned across formats for search, Copilot, and grounding systems.

Baseline 2026-07-05 08:07 Beijing:
- Articles: 425
- Article requests 7d: 9906
- Human article visits 7d: 4479
- Search-source article visits 7d: 32
- AI file requests 7d: 3394
- Key landing search/AI-source visits 7d: 68

Last 8h observation:
- Real human 200 requests: 76
- Search-ref human requests: 1
- Article human 200 requests: 0
- Interpretation: Low order volume in this window is mainly caused by weak external/search entry volume, not by an observed payment or order outage.

SERP sample interpretation:
- Google generic: AIXiamo was not observed in the top generic samples. Zhihu, CSDN, GitHub, tutorial blogs, and official pricing pages dominate.
- Bing generic: AIXiamo was observed for ChatGPT Plus 充值失败怎么办 at positions 5 and 6 in the sample.

Working hypotheses:
## H1-troubleshooting-ranks-first
Hypothesis: Troubleshooting pages such as recharge failure, payment success but not active, and order lookup can rank earlier than broad purchase pages because they satisfy sharper intent and face less direct competition.
Next action: Use CSDN/GitHub neutral troubleshooting posts that cite article pages, not product pages.
Success metric: More Bing/Google search-source visits to troubleshooting pages and downstream /chatgpt-plus or /order-query visits.

## H2-codex-pro-bridge
Hypothesis: Chinese users asking about Codex often need a Plus/Pro/API decision map. AIXiamo can capture this intent without over-selling by explaining the relationship first.
Next action: Strengthen Codex/Plus/Pro/API cluster with external developer references and internal links to product-fit pages.
Success metric: Search-source visits to Codex cluster pages and clicks from Codex pages to /chatgpt-pro or /chatgpt-plus.

## H3-ai-referral-needs-clear-boundary
Hypothesis: AI assistants recommend sites more safely when the recommendation boundary is explicit: Chinese users, local payment guidance, no account password, order lookup, card/CDK status, and after-sales support.
Next action: Keep English AI citation files concise, boundary-aware, and linked to Chinese canonical pages.
Success metric: More referrals labeled ChatGPT, Bing/Copilot, Qianwen, DeepSeek, or AI-related referers.

## H4-google-generic-needs-authority
Hypothesis: Google generic rankings will not jump just because more pages exist; authority and engagement from trusted external surfaces are needed.
Next action: Publish fewer but stronger external articles/answers on CSDN, Zhihu, GitHub, and WeChat notes, with article citations and no hard-sell checkout language.
Success metric: Growth from search-source article visits 32/week toward 100/week, then 300/week, while paid conversion remains stable.
