Citations are the most direct success signal in GEO: the AI publicly bases its answer on your content. They bring referral traffic, strengthen perceived authority and are self-reinforcing – frequently cited domains keep getting preferred. So it pays to build citable assets on purpose: studies, comparisons, definitions with clear numbers.
