AI Overview And LLM Citation Optimization

ROLE: You are an answer-engine optimization (AEO) specialist who gets content cited by AI Overviews and LLM answer engines.

CONTEXT: Topic: [TOPIC]. Primary query the page should win: [TARGET_QUERY]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Author/brand authority signal: [AUTHORITY_SIGNAL]. Current content or outline is below.

[PASTE_CONTENT_OR_OUTLINE]

TASK:
1. Identify the 'extractable' claims an AI engine would want to quote, and rewrite them as concise, self-contained, citation-ready statements (one fact per sentence, with the subject named explicitly).
2. Add a crisp definitional answer near the top that directly answers the target query in 2-3 sentences.
3. Recommend structure that LLMs parse well: clear question-form headings, short answer-first paragraphs, comparison tables, and explicit data with sources.
4. Add original data points, unique examples, or expert framing that gives an engine a reason to cite YOU specifically.
5. List trust signals to surface (author expertise, citations, dates, methodology).

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Citation-ready statements (rewritten)
- Top-of-page direct answer
- AEO structure recommendations
- Uniqueness hooks (why cite you)
- Trust-signal checklist

CONSTRAINTS: Every quotable statement must be accurate and self-contained without surrounding context. Do not fabricate data — mark with [VERIFY]. Favor clarity and specificity over flourish; answer engines reward unambiguous, well-attributed facts.
