Make a page easier for AI assistants to cite
Reviews a page for the things that make AI answer engines quote it: direct answers, clear facts, named sources and clean structure.
Review this page for how easily an AI assistant (like ChatGPT search, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews) could find and quote a correct answer from it.
Questions people ask that this page should answer:
{{QUESTIONS}}
<page>
{{PAGE_TEXT}}
</page>
For each question:
- Where the answer is on the page, or "missing".
- Whether a single passage answers it fully on its own, without needing the rest of the page.
- A rewritten answer-first passage of 40 to 70 words I could use.
Then list page-wide fixes: headings that should be questions, facts that need a date or source, tables that would help, and claims that are vague.
Do not suggest tricks or hidden text. Only changes that also help human readers.Example output
Question: "How long does a UK passport renewal take?" Current page: answer is in paragraph 6, mixed with fees. Rewrite: "Most renewals take 3 weeks. Allow longer in spring and summer." as the first line under the H2.
How to use
Collect QUESTIONS from search suggestions, customer emails and the "People also ask" box. After updating, also consider adding the page to your site's llms.txt file.
Why it works
AI answer engines retrieve passages, not whole pages, so each answer needs to stand on its own. Self-contained, sourced passages are easier to retrieve and harder to misquote.
