Citation-Worthy Content

Citation-Worthy Content is content structured so that AI engines pull it as the answer source for relevant prompts.

Citation-Worthy Content is the on-page counterpart to entity-building. Characteristics: answer-first structure (definitional answer in first 150 words), question-framed H2s, numerical claims with dates, FAQ schema, fresh `dateModified`, and stacked Schema.org types (Article + FAQPage + Organization minimum). Citation-Worthy Content is what gets retrieved and quoted by RAG-based engines — Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT-with-browsing — within weeks of publication. The fastest GEO ROI lever.
