What is the best way to structure content for AI citations?

First 100 words: direct answer. Question H2s. 25-40 word paras. Schema markup. No fluff.

Will short paragraphs boost my AI citations?

Yes—makes extraction dead simple. One claim per para. But web feels choppy.

Quarterly, 100+ words real changes. Update dateModified. Fakes get flagged.

Your killer article vanishes into AI's black hole, uncredited. Why? Shitty structure. Time to weaponize your HTML before bots wise up.
