Getting cited by AI answers

What an answer engine needs from a page before it will quote it.

Suede AI SEO · Published · Updated

Be the primary source

Answer engines prefer the origin of a fact over a summary of it. Patent numbers, book titles and contract addresses should be stated first on Suede-owned pages.

Make it liftable

Short paragraphs. One claim per sentence. A heading that is the question, followed by a paragraph that is the answer.

Publish a machine index

Each Suede domain serves an llms.txt describing what the site is, who owns it, and which pages matter. It costs nothing and it is read.

Keep the graph consistent

If one site says the alias is a persona and another says it is declared, the model hedges. Consistency is ranking.
