Get cited by AI — the 5-minute setup

The three things to turn on so answer engines can read, cite, and route to your content.

Three settings do most of the work of making your content AI-visible. Here’s the fast path — each step links to its full guide.

1. Turn on AI Graph tags

AI Graph tags (ai:*) tell engines what a page is, the one-sentence summary to use, and who to cite. AskThis proposes them from your scan — review and approve them under Prompts → AI Graph.

The one that matters most

A concrete, non-promotional ai:summary is the single biggest lever — it’s the answer you want models to quote. Describe what’s on the page in one sentence; skip superlatives.

2. Publish an llms.txt

llms.txt is a plain-text index that helps engines discover your key pages in the first place. AskThis generates it from your scan — point your site’s /llms.txt at it.

3. Enable the “Ask AI” buttons

The widget’s AI buttons let your readers hand a page to an assistant with a cited prompt — every share is a chance to be cited. Choose your engines in Configure.
