Example answer. Question-style headings and a direct answer up top are what get a post quoted.

How Nina writes for citation
Four habits in every post.
Answer the question first
Question-style headings with a complete answer right underneath.
Give engines something to quote
Quotations, statistics and cited sources. A KDD 2024 study by Princeton and IIT Delhi researchers found they can add up to 40% more visibility in generative answers.
Cover the topic, not the keyword
Topic clusters, linked to the pages that make you money.
Publish consistently
A monthly queue with images and links, published straight to your CMS.
Results
The blog out-cites the rest of the site.
Informational posts get picked as sources far more often than product or service pages.
What we can and can't prove.
AI visibility is easy to oversell. Here's exactly what the reporting shows.
We can show you
- Which of your pages Google's AI answers used as sources
- How your blog compares with the rest of your site
- Rankings and clicks in your monthly report
- A baseline from before we started
We can't prove
- Per-page citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude
- A lift without a baseline from before AI answers
- Third-party "AI visibility scores"
- That citations alone close deals
What AI search optimization usually costs.

AI search questions, answered.
Do blog posts actually get cited?
Yes. Nina-written posts were cited more than 117,000 times across five client sites, and AI answers favor informational pages over product or service pages.
Can Nina get us cited in ChatGPT?
Possibly, but we won't promise a number. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude don't publish per-page reports, so there's nothing reliable to measure against.
How do I measure AI citations?
In Search Console's Generative AI features report. It shows impressions, not the questions people asked.
How long until we see results?
Weeks, not months. Many clients see ranking movement within 4 to 6 weeks, though rankings are never guaranteed.
Is the content AI-written?
A strategist plans every post, AI drafts it and a human editor reviews it before it's published.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No. It changes how pages are written, not the foundation underneath them.
