MKEO / Timeline
A dated, public record of this term's path. A new word is only worth what its history can prove — so the history is published, measurements included, including the uncomfortable starting point.
MKEO (Machine-ready Knowledge Engine Optimization) is named, and this site publishes its definition, framework, and metrics. Domain mkeo.io registered; the open-source reference implementation is prepared for release.
Baseline: not yet indexed by search engines · not yet known to any AI engine · zero third-party citations — the honest starting line.
The mkeo toolkit — AI visibility probes, tri-engine rank monitoring, site audit — is published so every number on this page can be reproduced independently.
mkeo.io pages enter the indexes of Google, Bing, and others. Measured by site: queries and keyword coverage.
The first answer engine answers "What is MKEO?" correctly, citing a source. Recognition is probed across engines on a schedule from this point.
A source the maintainers do not control cites the term or the metrics. This is the event that moves MKEO from "a company's coinage" toward "a term".
