How do I get cited by ChatGPT?

Allow AI crawlers, answer questions directly near the top of the page, back claims with specifics, and add structured data. There is no guaranteed method.

It is a proposed convention that some tools read. Support varies, so treat it as low-cost and optional, not a ranking lever.

Should I block AI crawlers?

That depends on whether you want to appear in AI answers. Blocking them removes the chance of being cited by those assistants.

How much does ElixRank cost?

The free plan includes 2 credits a month, plus 3 more once Search Console is connected. Pro is $29 a month for 60 credits.

How to get cited by ChatGPT and other AI search tools.

Short answer: let AI crawlers read your pages, put a direct answer near the top of each page, and publish something specific enough to be worth quoting. No tool can guarantee a citation, but you can remove the common blockers.

Why pages don't get cited

Most pages are hard for an AI to quote.

Some sites block AI crawlers in robots.txt without meaning to.

Answers are buried under long introductions, so there is no clean passage to lift.

Pages repeat what everyone else says, so nothing makes them the source worth citing.

How ElixRank helps

From question to action plan.

Check access

Make sure the crawlers you want can fetch your pages. The free robots.txt tester shows this per crawler.

Lead with the answer

Put a one or two sentence answer under each question-style heading, then support it.

Add specifics

Original data, clear definitions and structured data (FAQ, Article) give an assistant something concrete to cite.

Comparison

Guessing vs checking.

Where a generic approach falls short.

Task	Generic approach	ElixRank
AI crawler access	Assume it is fine	Test it per crawler
Page structure	Hope the answer is findable	Audit flags buried answers
Structured data	Copy a snippet	Validate required properties

AI assistants choose their own sources. Improving readiness raises the odds, it does not guarantee citations.
