What it does
Rewrites an opening and key sections so the answer comes first and is easy for AI engines to extract and cite.
Use when a page buries its answer beneath preamble and you want it to be quotable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers.
What you need first
- the question the page should answer
- current page content
- brand or author for attribution
The prompt
You are optimising a page for AI citation using the SearchScore Citation Engineering approach.
QUESTION THE PAGE SHOULD ANSWER: {question}
CURRENT CONTENT: {page_content}
ATTRIBUTION (brand/author): {attribution}
Rewrite so an AI engine can lift a clean, correct, self-contained answer.
1. Write a 40-60 word direct answer as the opening paragraph - no preamble, complete on its own.
2. Follow with a short supporting section: the 'why', with a concrete fact, figure, or example that makes it citable.
3. Restructure the rest into scannable, self-contained chunks (clear H2/H3, one idea each, no unresolved pronouns referring back across sections).
4. Add a crisp definition sentence for the core concept using an 'X is a Y that Z' pattern.
5. Keep every claim verifiable; flag any claim that needs a source with [SOURCE NEEDED].
Return the rewritten content in Markdown. Preserve accurate facts from the original. British English.
