How to get cited by Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
Citations favor clear answers, list formats, fresh entity signals, and pages AI crawlers can read without heavy JavaScript walls.
Start with crawler access: allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended in robots.txt.
Put the core answer in the first 200 words. Add FAQ blocks that match how people actually ask AI tools.
Earn mentions on sources AI engines already cite: industry publications, directories with trust, and expert profiles with Person schema.
