How to get cited by ChatGPT: the AI citability method
Getting cited by ChatGPT takes more than an optimised page. Your business must become a clear, credible entity that can be cross-checked across several sources.
Measured on the engines your customers actually query
A strategic intent for your AI visibility.
GeoReady helps identify the sources AI already uses, then strengthen the content and proof that increase citability.
Citability isn't classic search ranking
A search engine ranks links. An AI produces an answer and may cite or mention a few players. Citability depends on clarity, reputation, proof and sources.
Create citable content
The most useful pages clearly answer the questions: who to choose, why, for what need, in what area, with what proof, what reviews and what limitations.
Work on third-party sources
To be cited, you also need to be present in the places AI looks for confirmation: quality directories, trade press, customer reviews, comparisons and company profiles.

Frequently asked questions.
What's the difference between being mentioned and being cited?
A mention names your brand. A citation or source gives AI a verifiable element to back up its answer.
Is the llms.txt file enough?
No. llms.txt can guide, but it doesn't replace content, external sources, structured data and reputation.
How do I know which sources to work on?
GeoReady analyses the answers and the cited sources to prioritise those that seem to influence recommendations.
