# Welcome to WAIO Docs

> Plain-language documentation for the WAIO methodology and the WAIO Engine audit.

Your website has three audiences now: people, search engines, and AI systems. WAIO (Website AI Optimization) is the methodology for making your site work for all three.

These docs exist for one reason: when the WAIO Engine audit tells you something about your site, you should be able to understand it without a technical background. Every audit issue gets a plain-language explanation here, with links to deeper technical references when you want them.
