Yuba is actively evolving based on market signals and community feedback.

***

## Strategic Themes

These are the focus areas driving Yuba's development:

### 1. AEO + GEO for LLM-Powered Search

Optimize business visibility across answer engines (AEO) and generative engines (GEO). Yuba helps businesses appear in AI Overviews, AI-generated summaries, and direct AI recommendations.

### 2. Structured Data — API + Web

Yuba covers structured data in two ways:

* **Platform API/MCP**: AI platforms query Yuba directly for structured business data
* **Web markup (JSON-LD)**: Businesses export Schema.org-compatible JSON-LD to embed on their own sites for crawlers and AI

### 3. Entity-Based Discovery

Make every business a clear, identifiable entity with structured attributes and relationships — so AI systems can recognize, cite, and recommend them accurately.
