What content format gets the most AI citations?

This is one of the most common questions in the Content category of Agent Experience Optimization. As AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity reshape how people find information, understanding the nuances behind this question becomes critical for any digital strategy.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) provides the framework for adapting your content strategy to this new reality. Rather than optimizing solely for keyword rankings, you need to ensure your content is authoritative, well-structured, and easily parseable by AI systems.

A practical place to start is with structured data. The Schema Generator can help you implement the right markup, while the Free AEO Audit will show you exactly where your content stands in terms of AI readiness.
