Content Citability Checklist
A checklist for making pages easier for AI answer systems to understand, cite, and reuse.
Citability is the practical quality of being easy for an answer system to use as a source.
Checklist
- Put the direct answer near the top of the page.
- Use clear headings that match natural buyer questions.
- Name entities consistently.
- Add dates to time-sensitive claims.
- Separate facts, examples, and opinions.
- Include comparison tables when a user needs to choose.
- Link related definitions, categories, and workflows.
- Avoid unsupported superlatives.
- Keep pricing, platform, and feature claims current.
Review rhythm
Review high-intent pages every quarter or after major product/category changes. For tool and comparison pages, record the last review date and avoid publishing claims that have not been checked.
