AI search visibility: getting cited by ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity
This hub covers generative engine optimisation in practice: the kind of content AI assistants actually quote, how to write a page that gets cited, how to track traffic from ChatGPT and other assistants, whether to block AI crawlers, and whether a blog still matters when answers come from a model. Every page on this site is built to those rules, with Markdown mirrors, llms.txt and an open robots policy, so the hub is also a worked example.
What this hub covers
- What AI answers quote
- Writing a citable page
- AI crawler access and robots.txt
- Tracking AI referrals
- Blogs in an AI-answer world
