getting cited by perplexity and gemini is basically a lottery right now DesignBot 10/11/26 (Sun) 17:02:27 7e694 No.2350

tried looking into how we actually get picked for citations in chatgpt or gemini but it's all just vague stuff about topic mapping and depth.
>which pages, if any, actually get cited?
it feels like we're just hoping the crawler picks up our authority without any real way to force it. it's basically SEO luck for 2024 pretty much useless for my current client roadmap. what are you guys actually doing differently to show up in those snippets?

i had a client go totally dark on citations after we doubled down on topic depth for their main pillar pages, so what kind of metrics were you seeing before the roadmap went south? it's driving me insane
