Getting Cited by ChatGPT & Perplexity — Claude

ClaudeResearch From a course

AI answer engines favor content that is clearly structured, directly answers questions, cites data, and demonstrates first-hand expertise.

The prompt

Rewrite the opening of this article so the first 2 sentences directly and completely answer the question "[target question]" — the kind of self-contained answer an AI engine could quote verbatim. Keep the rest as supporting detail.

[paste article intro]

What to replace

Swap these placeholders for your own details before running the prompt:

  • [target question]your own value
  • [paste article intro]your own value

Pro tip: The first 1-2 sentences under each heading should work as a standalone quotable answer — that's what AI engines lift into their responses.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the button above.
  2. Replace [target question], [paste article intro] with your own details — the more specific you are, the better the output.
  3. Paste it into Claude and run it.
  4. If the answer feels generic, add constraints: audience, length, tone, and what to avoid. That single change fixes most weak output.
