How easily an AI engine can lift a clean, self-contained statement from your page to use in its answer.
Extractability describes whether your key claims are phrased so a machine can quote them without surrounding context - short, factual, unambiguous sentences rather than clauses that only make sense mid-paragraph. Highly extractable content wins citations because the engine can drop it straight into a response and attribute it cleanly. Improving extractability means front-loading answers, using clear definitions, structured lists and standalone statements that hold their meaning when pulled out.
