AI engines cite what they can retrieve, parse, and trust. This playbook covers the three levers that measurably raise citation probability.
Answer-first structure
[LAUNCH DRAFT] Roughly 44% of LLM citations come from the first 30% of a document. Lead with the answer; support it after.
Statistical density
[LAUNCH DRAFT] Pages with structured lists, statistics, and tables see 30–40% higher visibility in AI responses.
Entity clarity
[LAUNCH DRAFT] Unambiguous entities — consistent naming, schema, corroborated facts — are what models can safely cite.
