How AI answers pick sources
Answer engines favor pages that are clear, structured, and authoritative. Headings, FAQs, and concise summaries increase your odds of being cited.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
GEO is the practice of structuring content so AI assistants quote and cite you. Here’s the playbook we bake into every Wordiva post.
Tactics that work
Lead with the answer, then expand. Use FAQ schema, keep terminology consistent, and publish on a steady cadence—AI systems reward freshness and clarity.
Measure citations
Track branded mentions in AI tools, monitor referral traffic from answer engines, and keep FAQ sections accurate so quotes stay correct.
GEO and SEO are complements
The same clarity that wins featured snippets wins AI citations. Wordiva structures posts for both—no duplicate effort required.
The GEO checklist
- Answer-first paragraphs under question headings
- FAQ sections with valid JSON-LD schema
- Concise, self-contained summaries AI can quote
- Consistent terminology and entity usage
- Original examples and data worth citing
