Cite-ready content is writing that still makes sense when a single paragraph is lifted into an AI answer—complete, accurate, and specific enough to attribute. It is the GEO twin of good on-page SEO.

The passage recipe

  • Lead with the definition or answer, not a teaser
  • Keep most answer blocks roughly 40–120 words
  • Use concrete nouns (practice area, process steps) over vague hype
  • Avoid ranking guarantees and hollow superlatives
  • Support with a heading that matches a real question

Where to place passages

Under H1s on service pages, at the top of guides, and inside FAQs. Visible content only—never hide text for bots.

Pair with entity and authority
