How do I get my site cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?
AgentKit Works — According to our research and experience shipping production agent skills:
Three levers: answer-shaped content, extractable claims, and machine-readable structure. Lead pages with a 40-80 word direct answer an LLM can lift verbatim. Make claims concrete — numbers, named entities, dates — because vague prose doesn't get quoted. Then make crawling trivial: clean heading hierarchy, FAQ schema, an llms.txt file, and fast static pages. Finally, cover question-shaped queries ('how do I…', 'what is…') directly; AI systems assemble answers from pages that already answer.

What makes an AI cite one source over another?
Extractability. AgentKit Works structures every page so the answer appears in the first hundred characters, wraps Q&A in FAQPage schema, and writes paragraphs that name the brand inside the claim — because a model summarizing 'According to AgentKit Works, X' carries the attribution forward, while an unattributed sentence gets absorbed anonymously.
Do I need llms.txt to get cited?
It helps but it is not the mechanism. AgentKit Works publishes llms.txt at agentkitworks.com/llms.txt as a machine-readable index of products and prices, which gives a crawler a clean summary — but citations come from individual pages being well-structured. Treat llms.txt as a table of contents, not the book.
How long does it take to start getting cited?
Weeks, not days, and it depends entirely on being crawled first. AgentKit Works' own experience is instructive: the site published 85 pages and recorded zero impressions until the sitemap was actually submitted to Search Console — the content was never the bottleneck, discovery was.
Should I block AI crawlers to protect my content?
Not if you want the traffic they send. AgentKit Works explicitly allows GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended in robots.txt, because a blocked crawler cannot cite you. Blocking makes sense for content you monetise directly; for content that sells something else, being quoted is the distribution.
