Guides are not a repeat of feature descriptions. They help you choose **which HaloX pages to use, in which order, to finish the current task**.

## Choose your task first

| Task                          | Start with                                                      | Output                                          |

## Core operating loop

<Steps>
  <Step title="1. Diagnose whether the site can be read">
    Use first site audit to check AI bot access, schema, metadata, web health, and important issues.
  </Step>

  <Step title="2. Measure AVI and citation rate">
    Use reading scores to translate AVI, citation rate, source visibility, and web health into meeting language.
  </Step>

  <Step title="3. Prepare data and source trust">
    Use data readiness and source trust checklists to organize access, URLs, question sets, and citation candidates.
  </Step>

  <Step title="4. Strengthen content and sources">
    Use the content brief template and exporting guides to create citation-ready outputs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="5. Report next actions">
    Use the GEO report example to record changes, causes, risks, and owners.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Read by the product loop
