Citation GEO

Give AI something accurate to cite — on a subdomain you control

Citation GEO is structured docs, FAQs, schema, and machine-readable discovery files so models and crawlers reference your brand correctly. It supports Shelf GEO; it is not a substitute for an official ChatGPT or Claude app.

What makes content citable

Citation GEO is the owned surface a model can quote without guessing. Four pieces do most of the work.

Owned subdomain trust

We build mcp.yourbrand.com/docs with tool tables, privacy, troubleshooting, and example queries — the surface store reviewers and enterprise buyers expect, not a PDF handover.

llms.txt for agents

Machine-readable endpoint, tool list, and prompt hints on your domain — a surface many vendor deployments skip but autonomous agents and power users rely on.

FAQ JSON-LD

Structured answers on an owned subdomain help AI Overviews and chat models cite consistent facts about your product, data policy, and click-out rules.

Launch kit for marketing

Verbatim MCP URL snippets for homepage footer, press, and email — often the #1 discovery path before directory indexes catch up.

Citation GEO questions

Is Citation GEO just traditional SEO?

It overlaps — schema, FAQs, and strong docs help Google and AI Overviews too. Citation GEO specifically targets machine-readable discovery (llms.txt, tool docs, owned subdomain) that generic marketing pages often omit.

Can Citation GEO alone drive bookings?

Sometimes for research-heavy categories, but conversion is weaker than Shelf GEO where the model runs your tools and widget. We recommend both layers in Launch engagements.

Do you host docs on our domain?

Yes — mcp.yourbrand.com/docs on the same subdomain as the MCP server. Reviewers, security teams, and crawlers see one coherent brand surface.

Where does Shelf GEO fit?

Shelf GEO is the official app layer. Citation GEO makes that launch durable for crawlers and text answers. See our Shelf GEO spoke for the store-side playbook.
