Knowledge Base/Updating Your AI Profile

Updating your AI Profile

Launched a new programme? Changed your prices? Added a qualification or updated your business details? You can make changes to your AI Profile whenever your business changes.

There are just three steps: save your changes, generate your AI Profile again, and make sure your website is using the new version.

The middle step is the one everybody forgets.

1

Edit and save

Update your details in your StructuredAF dashboard.

2

Generate again

Publish the new version of your AI Profile.

3

Refresh your website

Automatic on WordPress. By hand on other platforms.

Saving isn't publishing

When you edit your details in StructuredAF, your changes are saved to your account straight away.

But your website keeps using the previous version of your AI Profile until you click Generate again.

So if you've added a new coaching programme and can't see it on your website, don't panic. The most likely explanation is simply that you haven't generated your profile again yet.

Nothing's broken. The new information just hasn't been published.

When to generate again

Whenever something important about your business changes. That might include:

  • Your business name, description or contact details
  • Your professional bio, job title, expertise or qualifications
  • A new service, course or programme
  • Changes to an existing offer, or one you've stopped selling
  • Prices or availability
  • Questions and answers in your FAQs

You can also generate again after smaller changes, such as fixing a typo or improving a description.

It doesn't cost anything extra, so there's no need to save everything up for a ceremonial quarterly publishing event.

Three steps to publish your changes

The first two steps are the same for everyone. The third depends on whether you're using WordPress or another website platform.

1

Update your information

Open your StructuredAF dashboard, find the section you want to change, edit your details and save them.

It's worth reading through the updated information before moving on, particularly if you've changed a price, qualification or service description.

2

Generate your AI Profile again

In your dashboard, open Add to Site and click Generate.

StructuredAF takes your latest information and publishes the updated version of your AI Profile. You don't need to do anything else inside StructuredAF.

But there's one final step to make sure your website is using the new version.

3

Update your website

On WordPress, this happens largely on its own. On other platforms, you'll replace your StructuredAF code by hand. Both routes are explained below.

If you're using WordPress
The plugin handles the update for you

This is one of the nice things about the StructuredAF WordPress plugin. Once you've generated your AI Profile again, there's no new code to copy and nothing to reinstall.

The plugin normally picks up the new version within an hour.

Want the change to appear sooner?

  1. Log in to WordPress.
  2. Go to Settings, then StructuredAF.
  3. Click Clear Cache.
  4. Refresh your page to see the new version.

If your website also uses a caching plugin, or your hosting company caches pages, you may need to clear that cache too.

The WordPress installation guide explains the plugin settings in more detail.

If you installed StructuredAF manually
Replace the old code with the new version

On platforms such as Squarespace, Kajabi, Wix, Showit and Systeme.io, updating your AI Profile means copying the new code into your website.

  1. Open Add to Site in your StructuredAF dashboard.
  2. Copy your updated StructuredAF code.
  3. Log in to your website platform.
  4. Find the StructuredAF code you installed previously.
  5. Replace the old code with the new version.
  6. Save and publish your changes.

If you originally installed StructuredAF on individual pages rather than site-wide, you'll need to update each of those pages.

Replace the existing code. Don't paste the new version underneath it.

Otherwise, your website could end up publishing two different versions of your business information. And that's rather the opposite of what we're trying to achieve.

Can't remember where you installed the code? Platform Compatibility will point you towards the instructions for your website.

How to check your update worked

Once you've generated your profile again and updated your website, open Scan Site in your StructuredAF dashboard and scan your published website.

Scan Site shows how many of each type of information it can find on your website, such as your offers and FAQs.

If you've added or removed something, check the numbers have changed. Added a new programme? Your offer count should go up by one. Removed an old FAQ? That count should go down.

If you've only edited existing details, such as a price or your bio, the counts won't change. In that case, the check is simply that you clicked Generate and then refreshed your website using the steps above.

Still seeing the old information?

On WordPress: clear the StructuredAF plugin cache, then any other website or hosting caches you use.

On another platform: check that you replaced the previous code in the correct location and published the change.

If that doesn't solve it, have a look at Troubleshooting or contact support.

When will AI systems notice the change?

Once your updated AI Profile is live on your website, the new information is available for AI and search systems to discover and interpret.

But that doesn't mean every AI system will pick it up immediately. Different systems visit websites at different times, and each decides what information to use. StructuredAF can't control when an external system next visits your website, or guarantee when a change might be reflected in an AI-generated answer.

What you can control is keeping the information on your own website accurate and up to date. And that's exactly what this process does.
