How to get found and mentioned by AI
Whether AI mentions you comes down to three things: your content can be read (plain text, not hidden in scripts), can be retrieved (indexed by search, with a sitemap and structured data), and is worth citing (clear answers, sourced, fresh). Miss any one and AI cannot read you or will not cite you.
- Serve the body as real HTML with JSON-LD structured data so machines understand who you are.
- One page per question, internally linked into a small authority web.
- Turn public material into sourced, dated fact pages — not marketing copy.
- There is a lag: publish → crawl → index → cite usually takes days to weeks.
