How to get your site cited by AI assistants

Short summary

Getting cited by AI assistants requires making your site machine-readable: serve static or prerendered content, use JSON-LD structured data, maintain an llms.txt file, and ensure corroboration from independent sources. Assistants retrieve through search indexes, so sitemap and index protocol submission matter. You can audit citability by asking assistants buyer-relevant questions and tracking which sources they name.

  • Serve prerendered/static content and llms.txt so AI assistants can read your site
  • Use JSON-LD structured data and Wikidata sameAs links for entity attribution
  • Audit citability by asking assistants buyer questions and tracking cited sources monthly

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
