# AI Citation Optimizer Prompt

> An editing pass that applies the measured GEO tactics to an existing page: inject sourced statistics, forge quotable claim-lines, add citations, restructure for extraction — so when an AI engine answers your topic, your page is the one worth quoting.

## ⚡ What it does

The [GEO audit](geo-llm-visibility-audit.md) tells you where you stand; this prompt does the rewrite. It's built directly on the measured findings: adding statistics, quotations, and cited sources lifted generative-engine visibility up to **+40%**, fluency improvements +15-30%, while keyword stuffing performed *worse* than baseline ([Princeton/GaTech/IIT GEO paper, KDD 2024, 10K queries](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.09735)) — plus the citation-pattern evidence that LLMs favor structured, claim-dense, freshly-updated sources.

## 🎯 When I use it (real scenario)

This is the editing pass behind this repo's own content style — the reason every benchmark file leads with sourced numbers and every asset opens with a quotable one-line claim. The Princeton findings essentially describe what my GEO work was converging on anyway: machines citing content behave like careful editors — they want a specific claim, a number behind it, and a source behind the number. This prompt applies that standard to any existing page in one pass.
