SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Brands increasingly lose visibility because AI assistants recommend competitors instead of them, and traditional SEO tactics do not translate into AI citations. This Skill measures where a brand appears (or is missing) across major AI engines and turns those gaps into concrete content and schema fixes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Platform Citation Audits: Test 20-40 real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and produce a citation rate scorecard per platform. - Lost Prompt & Competitor Analysis: Identify queries where competitors get cited, map the content structures that win their citations, and benchmark share-of-voice. - Prioritized Fix Packs: Generate ordered fixes such as FAQ schema, comparison pages, and entity optimization, each with expected citation impact and a 14-day recheck plan. - Use Case: A SaaS company discovers ChatGPT recommends a rival for "best project management tool for agencies". The Skill audits 40 prompts across four platforms, finds the competitor wins via comparison pages with structured data, and delivers a P1 fix pack to close the gap. ## Quick Start Audit my brand's citation visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for the project management software category and produce a fix pack.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Citation Strategist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if ChatGPT recommends my brand?▼

Run a citation audit by querying ChatGPT with 20-40 prompts your target buyers would actually ask, then record whether your brand or competitors get cited. Repeat across Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity since each platform has different citation patterns.

What is the difference between AEO and SEO?▼

SEO ranks pages in search results, while AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) earns citations inside AI-generated answers. The signals differ: AI engines favor entity clarity, structured authority, FAQ alignment, and schema markup rather than traditional ranking factors.

How to improve brand citations in AI answers?▼

Add FAQPage schema matching real prompt patterns, create comparison content with structured data, and strengthen entity signals via consistent naming and knowledge graph presence. Always benchmark citation rates first, then recheck after 14 days to measure impact.

Can AI citation results be guaranteed?▼

No. AI responses are non-deterministic, so no one can guarantee citations. You can only improve the signals that increase citation likelihood, and results should be treated as point-in-time snapshots that shift with model updates.

Why do competitors get cited by AI instead of my brand?▼

Competitors typically win through content structures AI engines prefer: comparison pages with schema markup, FAQ pages matching query patterns exactly, and clear entity signals. A lost prompt analysis maps which structures earn their citations so you can replicate them.
