autoWikipediaA free encyclopedia written and edited by volunteers under rules on notability and sources.
WikidataAn open database of structured facts about entities: Wikipedia and other projects draw their data from it.
AEOAnswer engine optimization: work that helps AI assistants understand a brand and cite it.
GEOGenerative engine optimization: influencing how generative systems compose their answers.
notabilityA Wikipedia criterion: a topic needs enough independent reliable sources to merit its own article.
COIConflict of interest: the editor is connected to the subject of the article, so paid editing must be disclosed.
AfDArticles for deletion: a discussion in which the community decides whether Wikipedia keeps an article.
Q-identifierA unique number of an entity in Wikidata, by which every project recognizes it.
knowledge panelA Google block with key facts about a company or person next to the search results.
llms.txtA file in the site root that tells language models which pages are worth reading.

04An honest split
DIY or with WikiBusines: 4 criteria that decide it
Tools cover the checks. A project means time, risk and a conflict of interest, and a good checklist does not make those go away.
Time and attention
You have the hours to read Wikipedia’s rules, revise a draft and wait in the review queue.
A funding round, a launch or an IPO leaves no weeks for trial and error. The page is ready in 4–5 weeks.
4–5 weeksRisk profile
Reconnaissance: checking sources, comparing language editions, watching the page.
Deletion risk: a previously deleted page, a controversial topic, or an article that outsiders keep editing. After publication, 90 days of monitoring.
90 days of guaranteeConflict of interest
Research only: you read, compare and monitor, but do not edit.
Publication with a conflict of interest: neutral text, discussion on the article’s talk page and disclosure of paid editing.
disclosure in WikiBusines’ nameScope
One entity, one language, one page you need to understand.
Several languages: Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons across several markets at once.
auto
If you have the time and the sources and no conflict of interest, write it yourself: the tools and our notability article will help. If not, we take the project and answer for the result for 90 days.

06Questions and answers
Tools and audits: frequently asked questions
Are the tools really free?
Yes. DR Checker, Media List and Image Check work in the browser with no account, no payment details and no email form. The notability index and the glossary are open too.
How often is the tool data updated?
By hand: when Wikipedia’s policies change and when DR/DA are refreshed. The update date is shown on each tool’s page. DR and DA are third-party estimates and can deviate by a few points.
Is the €490 for an audit credited toward the project if you order it within one month cost?
It depends on the audit. The Wikipedia notability audit is credited toward the page project: it is a first installment, not a separate expense. The AI visibility audit (€490) is not credited toward a package. If the notability verdict is “no”, you still keep a written report with the reasoning.
The tool says there are too few sources. What next?
Order a notability audit: it shows which publications are missing and is credited toward the project if you order it within one month. If there are no independent publications at all, start with the media program.
Can I create a Wikipedia page myself with these tools?
Yes, if you have independent sources and no conflict of interest. The tools help you check sources, choose a language edition and watch the page. If you are connected to the topic, paid editing must be disclosed on Wikipedia. A neutral tone and sourcing requirements are what drafts are most often rejected for, and a deleted draft makes every later attempt harder.
What is WikiSEO.ai, and is it your product?
No. WikiSEO.ai is a Wikipedia SEO toolkit from a partner team: a separate product with separate billing and support. We link to it because the audience of self-serve tools asks about it. We run the rest of the tools on this page.
