AI Citations

References and source attributions that AI systems provide when generating responses.

Definition

AI Citations are references and source attributions that large language models and AI systems provide when generating responses. These citations link back to original content sources, establishing credibility and driving traffic.

Why It's Important

Being cited by AI systems validates your content's authority and can drive significant referral traffic. Citations also help build trust with users who want to verify AI-generated information.

How It Works

AI systems cite sources based on content authority, relevance, recency, and accessibility. Well-structured, authoritative content with clear authorship signals is more likely to be cited.
