How to Get Your Brand Cited by ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini
To get cited by AI assistants, publish clear and authoritative content with structured data, earn mentions on the third-party sources AI trusts, keep your entity data consistent, and publish original data worth quoting.
Structure content for extraction
AI engines lift self-contained passages. Lead sections with a direct, factual answer; use clear headings, short paragraphs, comparison tables, and FAQ schema. Make the fact easy to quote without surrounding context.
Be where AI looks
When assistants use web search they lean on a recognizable set of sources — Wikipedia, Reddit, review and comparison sites, and trade media. Earning accurate mentions there raises the odds an answer names you, and names you correctly.
Own your entity and publish data
Keep your brand's name, category, and key facts consistent everywhere; inconsistent entity data confuses models. Original statistics and research are disproportionately cited because a model cannot generate them — they must be attributed. Consider an llms.txt file to guide AI crawlers to your best content.
Measure and iterate
Citation is testable. Track which sources AI cites in your category and whether your fixes move the needle. A free AI visibility check shows your current mentions and the rivals AI names instead.
