Getting cited by AI answers without gaming anything
AI search5675 min read
AI systems summarise sources they can parse quickly and trust. Pages that answer the question in the first paragraph, use clear headings and attribute their data get cited far more often than pages that bury the answer beneath an introduction.
“Good SEO makes a brand findable. Great SEO makes it the obvious answer - the page a buyer trusts before they ever speak to sales.”
Practical changes
Lead with the answer, then explain it. Use descriptive headings that match real questions. Add tables for comparisons and figures. Cite your sources with links so the claim can be verified, and keep structured data accurate - schema is how machines confirm what a page is.
What not to do
There is no trick worth chasing here. Content written to manipulate a summariser reads badly to humans and gets replaced the moment the model updates.
