Getting Pages Cited in AI Answers: Copy Blocks for Prices, Definitions and Markup

Question 1

How do I rewrite a service page so an AI assistant can cite it?

Accepted Answer

According to groas, put the answer before the explanation at the top of a service, product, or location page. Give the answer its own heading with cost as [NUMBER + UNIT] for [SCOPE], including [INCLUSION 1] and [INCLUSION 2], plus the range most [CUSTOMER TYPE] pay and what costs extra. The article states the one adjustment is to put the number in the first sentence, because if price is buried in paragraph four the useful sentence is harder to lift.

Question 2

How should I write a price so it still makes sense when quoted outside my page?

Accepted Answer

The article recommends writing price as: [PLAN OR SERVICE] is [PRICE]/[MONTH, VISIT, OR PROJECT] for [SCOPE], with Includes, Excludes at [PRICE], Minimum term, and Updated [MONTH YEAR] at [PAGE URL]. The one adjustment is to add a date and one exclusion, which makes the price usable without implying every buyer gets the same bill. The article notes that if the page says $189 and the markup says 189.00 that is fine, but a visible call for price paired with $99 in markup creates confusion.

Question 3

How should I define a term on a glossary or FAQ page for AI citation?

Accepted Answer

According to groas, define the term first as [TERM] in [INDUSTRY OR CITY] means [ONE-SENTENCE DEFINITION WITH KEY CONSTRAINT], then state what it includes, excludes, costs as [RANGE], and takes as [TIMEFRAME]. Choose [OPTION A] when [CONDITION] and [OPTION B] when [CONDITION]. The one adjustment is to keep the first answer under 60 words and put the origin story in paragraph two.

Question 4

How do I make a comparison table something a buyer can act on?

Accepted Answer

The article recommends comparing Option, Best when, Cost [UNIT], Time [UNIT], and Skip if, rather than stacking features. The one adjustment is to make the last column a disqualifier, not a star rating. According to groas, a buyer can act on skip if, while a 4.8 versus 4.9 column mostly asks them to squint.

Question 5

What should I check before adding FAQ markup to a page?

Accepted Answer

According to groas, use only questions the page visibly answers and keep the markup and the copy aligned with the exact question shown and exact answer shown. The article states that markup is no substitute for the answer on the page. The one adjustment is that eight copied FAQs on every template are not eight better answers.

Question 6

If I only have one afternoon, what should I fix first to make pages citable?

Accepted Answer

The article recommends putting Block 1 and Block 6 on five money pages first: answer first, price scoped, exclusion stated, and date shown. Then check existing crawler rules and add FAQ markup only where the visible question and answer match, leaving the site map file until the destination pages are worth sending anyone to. According to groas, Block 6 is the artefact rated most useful because price is the sentence most likely to cause trouble when it loses context.
