This page answers the questions covered by the article [Ten Pages, Total: The Order I’d Publish Them In to Earn AI Citations](https://groas.com/post/ten-pages-no-more-the-order-i-d-publish) on groas.com. The article is the full, canonical source.

**Direct answer:** The article recommends limiting work to ten pages chosen from visible demand in Search Console and commercial buyer prompts where a competitor is cited and you are not. According to groas, pages 1 and 2 should answer cost and fit, pages 3 and 4 should cover comparisons, and pages 5 through 10 should be rewrites of existing half-ranking URLs rather than new posts. Each page must finish its buyer question in self-contained sections with specific numbers, dates and named entities, then be checked for citations over 60 to 90 days.

## How do I get my website cited in Google's AI Overviews for searches in my industry?

The article recommends choosing ten pages the way it chose the first ten keywords for a new account: start with demand already visible in Search Console and commercial questions where a competitor shows up and you do not. The example is spending $20k a month with one afternoon to find traffic that can still convert, starting with buyer prompts you are losing rather than volume. According to groas, most businesses that do this honestly will find that pages five through ten are rewrites, not new posts.

## How should I find and score candidate questions before spending one of the ten pages?

The article recommends pulling Search Console for the last 90 days to find queries where a URL sits in positions 4 to 20 with real impressions, then running 25 to 50 buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews to find prompts where a competitor appears and you do not. According to groas, the aim is 15 to 20 candidate questions, each tied to an existing URL if one fits. Each candidate is then scored 1 to 3 points on demand, intent and half-answer; candidates scoring 7 to 9 compete for the ten slots, a 6 becomes a section inside a stronger page, and a 5 or below goes.

## What should my cost and fit pages include to earn AI citations?

The article recommends making page 1 answer what it costs and what drives the cost, and page 2 answer who it is for and who should not buy it. Each page should use a question-phrased H2, answer it in the first sentence naming the subject, and add two to four sentences of support that do not depend on another section. According to groas, useful material should be early because 44.2% of citations in one study came from the first 30% of content and 78.4% of question-tied citations came from headings, and each page needs a fact only the business can supply such as a price band charged, a turnaround time from logs, or a measured failure rate.

## What should my comparison pages include to get cited in AI answers?

The article recommends using the two slots for prompts where AI names competitors and skips you, usually one direct comparison and one category-level selection page about who to shortlist, what to compare and what mistakes to avoid. Each comparison should state where the offer wins and where it does not, with a dated table or list covering price band, turnaround, inclusions and fit, plus a sourced claim with its number and primary-source link in the same sentence and a fact from the business’s own work. According to groas, adding citations, quotations and statistics improved generative visibility by up to 40% in tests on 10,000 queries, but a page that cannot say who the offer is better for has not earned a comparison slot.

## How should I rewrite existing pages to earn more AI citations?

The article recommends keeping each URL and adding the missing buyer answers under question H2s about cost drivers, inclusions, turnaround, fit or selection criteria, rather than creating six fresh posts. The bar is that the first sentence under each new H2 answers the question and names its subject, the next two to four sentences support it without relying on another section, any number that needs a source carries its link in the claim sentence, and at least one useful fact comes from the business’s own work such as a price charged or a timeline from its calendar. According to groas, the first screen must answer something the old page did not, and the page should be republished with a current date when the update is real.

## How do I check whether a new or rewritten page is earning AI citations?

The article recommends giving each page a dated entry and checking eligibility, prompt results and search demand, which takes thirty minutes per page. That means confirming the URL is indexed and eligible for a snippet, rerunning the same 25 to 50 prompts to log whether your URL is cited and which competitor URL appears instead, and checking in Search Console whether impressions hold or rise while watching citation rate over 60 to 90 days. According to groas, cited domains can turn over 40 to 60% month to month, so wins are monitored monthly and reprioritized quarterly, and if a rewrite loses a citation the replacement passage should be read before changing the page.
