The Academy

It’s like this… we spend our day fielding calls and emails from clients who are on the brink. They’re being inundated with frantic emails from their c-suites, sales teams and affiliates regarding what AI is going to do to their departments or business lines.

So we got together and said, “well… if AI is causing all these problems and creating all this drama, let’s ask AI how to fix it?” Each of us has been keeping their own running library of spreadsheets with dozens of tabs, checklists, notes, SOPs, SOWs related to annual changes that we’ve been seeing in search, in marketing, in content creation & publication, PR and communications for the better part of 15 years.

Since AI and LLMs are still in the learning phase and probably will be for quite some time, we figured that in order to get the most out of AI, we needed to put as much into it as possible. So we combined all of our documents and started to feed the machine!

After ChatGTP, Claude and Perplexity had a chance to digest everything in phase 1, we took everything we could find that dealt with current AI trends and fed the machine for phase 2. When they caught up, we fed it a few hundred different prompts that resulted in the basic framework for a visibility engine that referenced the past, understood the present and is taking aim at the future!

And because we all like to work a little differently… some of us are checklist people… some of us like to follow steps… some of us like to play around until we get stuck and need help… we decided to break the visibility engine out into its component parts so you can use the modules however you like.

The Academy Modules

Each module mirrors a core system in the QNTM Engine… giving you the strategy, step-by-step execution, and downloadable templates to master it.

Thousands of marketers are stuck using tools built for a search engine that no longer exists. QNTM Lab is here to change that. Whether you’re an agency, an in-house marketer, or a solo strategist, if you’re ready to rethink search, SEO and how to get the most visibility for your business on the web… you’re in the right place.

Module 1: AI Comprehension (DOM Structure)

Make your pages machine‑readable so they’re easy to extract, quote, and select. This module focuses on how AI systems parse the DOM: schema.org, semantic HTML, correct heading hierarchy, question‑answer blocks, and list structures. You’ll ship a page that an AI can understand at a glance and a checklist you can reuse on every template.

Outcomes

  • Pages are extractable without JavaScript rendering.
  • Clear, consistent heading hierarchy and sectioning.
  • Snippet‑ready blocks (definitions, steps, lists) placed high on the page.

What you build

  • DOM structure map for one page (headings, sections, lists, tables).
  • Schema stack quickstart for that page type.
  • Snippet blocks (definition, steps, list) inserted above the fold.

Top checks used in the demo

  • schema.org JSON‑LD present and parseable
  • Uses semantic elements (header, nav, main, article, section, aside, footer)
  • Exactly one H1; logical H2/H3 tree
  • Q&A pattern present (FAQ or short Q/A pairs)
  • Lists used for steps/benefits (ul/ol)
  • Tables used for specs or comparisons when appropriate

Downloadables/Helpful Resources

  • DOM structure checklist (docx)
  • Schema stack quickstart (docx)
  • Snippet block templates (docx)

Assessment

  • Submit one page with corrected headings, added snippet blocks, and a valid JSON‑LD.

Recap

  • Structure first. Make extraction effortless.

Module 2: Trust & Authority

Snippet intro (60 words): AI systems prefer sources with clear provenance and accountability.

You’ll add the basics that reduce risk for selection and give both users and models confidence.

  • Clear contact and policy paths.
  • Credible outbound citations to standards and associations.

What you build

  • Footer trust block (contact, address or contact link, privacy, terms).
  • Citation plan for 2–3 authoritative references on the target page.

Top checks used in the demo

  • Author/byline markers present when content is article‑like
  • Contact pathway visible in header/footer
  • About page linked site‑wide
  • Privacy policy present in footer
  • At least one relevant outbound citation on claim‑heavy pages

Downloadables/Helpful Resources

  • Trust checklist (docx)
  • Author profile template (docx)
  • Citation sourcing guide (docx)

Assessment

  • Submit one page with added byline, policy links in footer, and two outbound citations.

Recap

  • Show who you are, how to reach you, and where your claims come from.

Module 3: Content Excellence

Content must be deep enough to answer the task, labeled clearly, and supported by accessible media. This module sets baselines for word count, image alt text, table use, internal linking, and freshness so pages remain useful and quotable over time.

Outcomes

  • On‑page depth baseline met for the page type.
  • Descriptive alt text and accessible tables.
  • Internal links that carry users and authority to the right places.
  • A simple freshness policy for updates.

What you build

  • Copy expansion plan to meet depth baseline.
  • Alt‑text pass for images on the target page.
  • One table for specs, pricing, or comparison (if relevant).
  • Internal link map with 3–5 contextual anchors.
  • Update cadence note (what triggers a revision).

Top checks used in the demo

  • Word count meets baseline for the page type
  • Images have meaningful alt text
  • At least one structured table when data is present
  • 3+ internal links with descriptive anchors
  • Updated date or freshness indicators on changing content

Downloadables/Helpful Resources

  • Depth baseline guide by page type (docx)
  • Alt‑text writing guide (docx)
  • Internal link planner (xlsx)

Assessment

  • Submit one page with depth, alt text, table (if relevant), and new internal links.

Recap

  • Be complete, be scannable, and keep it fresh.

Module 4: Technical (DOM Essentials)

Lock down the technical basics that determine crawlability and selection safety in a DOM‑only world: HTTPS, mobile viewport, titles, descriptions, and canonicals. You’ll ship predictable metadata patterns that improve clarity and reduce duplication.

Outcomes

  • Secure, indexable pages with coherent metadata.
  • Consistent title and description patterns.
  • Canonical strategy that prevents split signals.

What you build

  • Title and meta description patterns for one template.
  • Canonicalization rules for the site section.

Recap

Master internal linking, heading structure, and topic modeling so your content doesn’t just rank — it stays there.

Module 5: User Experience

Snippet intro (55 words): Navigation, search, footers, CTAs, and breadcrumbs help both people and parsers. This module ensures key wayfinding elements are present and consistent so models can infer hierarchy and users can act.

Outcomes

  • Navigable structure that reveals hierarchy.
  • Prominent CTAs aligned to tasks.
  • Optional site search for larger sites.

What you build

  • Nav inventory with links to top tasks.
