Topical Depth
15% WEIGHTHow comprehensively do you cover your topic cluster? (Number of related pages, internal linking density)
Semantic Coverage

Content Freshness
10% WEIGHTHow recently was your content updated? (dateModified signals, new data, updated statistics)
Inbound Citations

Your content is essentially invisible to AI citation systems. Start with entity infrastructure before anything else.
About AI Citation Probability
What is AI citation probability?
AI citation probability is the likelihood that AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Bing AI will cite your content when answering relevant queries. It is determined by entity authority, structured data completeness, topical depth, semantic coverage, and inbound citation patterns.
What is the most important factor for AI citation?
Entity authority is the most important factor, accounting for 22% of citation probability. AI systems cite entities, not just websites. Without entity recognition in knowledge graphs (Wikidata, Schema.org sameAs links), your content is invisible to AI citation systems regardless of quality.
How long does it take to improve AI citation probability?
Entity infrastructure takes 3-6 months to propagate into AI knowledge graphs. Schema.org markup improvements show results within 4-8 weeks. Topical depth and semantic coverage improvements can show results within 2-4 weeks. Full citation authority typically takes 12-18 months to build meaningfully.
Does traditional SEO ranking affect AI citation probability?
Partially. Traditional SEO signals (backlinks, content quality, technical optimization) contribute to AI citation probability through inbound citations and content freshness. However, entity authority and structured data are more directly impactful for AI citation than traditional ranking factors.
