Ranking and being cited are different jobs
Classic SEO optimises to appear in a list of ten links. AI assistants do not produce a list of ten links. They produce an answer, citing perhaps three sources, and the selection criteria are not identical to ranking criteria.
What gets a passage quoted is clarity, structure and attribution: a clean statement of fact, marked up so a machine knows what it is, attributed to someone identifiable, on a page a crawler can actually read. Plenty of sites that rank well fail all four.
The weightings here are my own judgement from delivery work, not an industry standard. If you disagree with them, tell me why and I will change them.
