Citability

Citability is how readily an AI engine can lift a passage from your page and attribute it to you. Highly citable pages answer real questions with direct, self-contained answers, use scannable structure (headings, lists, tables), include structured data, and show a date so the model can trust it's current.

Citability is a prerequisite for being recommended: an engine has to be able to extract and trust a passage before it will cite your brand as the source.
