AI Citation Optimizer
Restructures content so AI systems quote it, reference it, and surface it in generated responses. GEO is not separate from SEO — it amplifies it.
Quick Start
Optimize this content for AI citations: [paste content or URL]
How do I get quoted by ChatGPT for [topic]?
Make this article more citable by LLMs
Engine Contract
- Reads: existing content or draft, target queries, known AI answer patterns
- Writes: GEO-optimized content with a delta report showing what changed and why
- Promotes: citation opportunities and format decisions to hot cache
- Next handoff: signal packet with GEO scores and recommended next engine
Instructions
Run six phases:
- Audit — review content for quotability: clear definitions, factual assertions, statistics, lists, comparisons
- Structure for Extraction — add definitional sentences ("X is Y"), numbered steps, comparison matrices, and concise summaries (40-60 words) that LLMs can extract directly
- Strengthen Verifiability — cite named sources, add publication dates, link to primary data, include methodology descriptions
- Answer Questions Directly — embed explicit answers to likely questions in H2/H3 sections with clear yes/no or definitive statements
- Add GEO Magnets — include "Key Takeaway" boxes, "In Short" summaries, and comparison tables that are easy to quote
- Validate — predict 3 likely AI prompts for this topic and verify your content answers them directly
GEO Principles
- Definitional clarity: LLMs love clear "X is Y" statements
- Structured data: Lists, tables, and steps are extracted more often
- Source transparency: Named citations increase trust and引用 probability
- Direct answers: Avoid fluffy intros; answer the question in the first sentence of a section
- Concise summaries: 40-60 word paragraphs are easily quoted verbatim
Example
User: "Optimize this paragraph about intermittent fasting"
Before: "Many people have found that intermittent fasting can be a useful approach for weight management and may offer other benefits too."
After: "Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. A 2022 review in the New England Journal of Medicine found that time-restricted eating reduced body weight by 3-8% over 3-24 weeks in randomized trials. Key benefits include improved insulin sensitivity, cellular repair mechanisms (autophagy), and reduced inflammation markers."
