Start with a direct answer
The first paragraph should answer the main question. LLMs often extract this as their response.
Example
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing content to be cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Structure with question H2s
Use headings that are actual questions. AI navigates content using headings.
Example
Instead of "Benefits", use "What are the benefits of GEO?"
Add sourced statistics
Include numerical data with sources. This is the #1 strategy according to Princeton (+40% visibility).
Example
According to Gartner (2024), 50% of search queries will be AI-assisted by 2026.
Include expert quotes
Direct quotes from recognized experts increase your credibility with LLMs.
Example
"AI will transform how brands are discovered" - Marc Benioff, CEO Salesforce
Use technical terminology
Industry-specific vocabulary demonstrates expertise and helps with semantic matching.
Example
Use "RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)" instead of just "AI search".
Implement Schema.org
Add JSON-LD structured data to help AI understand your content context.
Example
ArticleSchema, FAQSchema, ProductSchema, HowToSchema
Create comprehensive content
Aim for 1500+ words for guides. Cover all aspects of the topic.
Example
Don't just explain what GEO is - explain why, how, when, and for whom.
Add a FAQ section
Q&A format is ideal for AI extraction. Use FAQPage Schema.
Example
Include 4-6 frequently asked questions with concise answers.
Link to authoritative sources
Citations to .gov, .edu, and recognized studies increase trust.
Example
Link to Princeton research, industry reports, official documentation.
Keep sentences short
Aim for 20 words max per sentence. Short paragraphs (3-4 sentences).
Example
Clear, concise writing is easier for LLMs to parse and extract.
