The Answer-First Shop — Illustrated PDF Edition + Toolkit

Your next customer won't search for you. They'll ask about you. Will the AI say your name?

Customers now ask AI assistants — and get one recommendation, not ten blue links. The Answer-First Shop is the story of Asha, a baker whose phone goes quiet, and the mentor who teaches her Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) the way a wise friend would: over chai, in plain words, one Sunday at a time.

Inside the Illustrated PDF Edition (79 pages):
✦ The complete business parable — a story you'll recognise, a problem you've felt
✦ 18 full-page illustrations and reference figures
✦ The Question Vault method — capture what customers already ask you, free
✦ The customer-cohort matrix — write for the right people, not everyone
✦ The Answer-First Page Framework — 5-part template machines can quote
✦ The no-website playbook — profiles, reviews, WhatsApp, NAP consistency
✦ The Mirror Test + 20-point AEO compliance scorecard
✦ The 30-day fridge-sheet action plan (Listen → Answer → Prove → Amplify)

Bonus Toolkit — 4 printable A4 sheets (instant download):
📋 The 30-Day AEO Plan — tick-box fridge sheet, week by week
