What should I change first to appear in Google AI Search?

There is no special tag just for AI search

Google states that no separate AI-only schema or special file is required to appear in AI features. The same technical requirements and content principles that apply to regular search are the foundation.

Rather than adding a new file, first make sure important pages are publicly accessible to search and that the main content is provided as actual text.

Order to fix things first

Checking the items below in this order can reduce wasted effort when content you create isn’t being discovered.

• Can search and AI access the page?
• Are important pages indexable?
• Does the page have unique content that directly answers customer questions?
• Are related services and the official website linked internally?

Quality of new information for customers matters more than quantity of content

Generating many similar pieces with AI is not a competitive advantage by itself. You need content that helps readers—actual service details, comparison criteria, official evidence, and so on.

VAN GEO operates with a publishing standard that only makes articles public if they meet question relevance and source requirements, rather than just meeting a quantity target.
