AI Engine Direct-Answer Citation

Get Your Answers Cited By ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude & Gemini

Always-on monitoring of your FAQPage schema. Even after Google deprecated the FAQ rich result for most sites in 2023, AI engines cite FAQPage content more than any other schema type for direct-answer queries. Sentry catches missing answers, duplicate questions, and below-quality answer length. Cortex handles the fix.

FAQ Citation Optimization

Continuous FAQPage Schema Monitoring

Continuous audits of your FAQPage schema against the 7 things that decide AI-engine citation eligibility and (if your site qualifies) Google FAQ rich result. Each rule maps to Schema.org's FAQPage spec and AI-citation observation patterns. Sentry catches what fails. Cortex fixes it.

RULE · 1

faqpage_entity_present

FAQPage entity detected

An FAQPage entity is present in the page's JSON-LD. Without it AI engines cannot identify the page as a structured Q&A source.

RULE · 2

mainEntity_non_empty

mainEntity is a non-empty Question array

The `mainEntity` property is a non-empty array of Question entities. An empty FAQPage is a no-op for AI citation.

RULE · 3

questions_have_names

Every Question has a name

Each Question entity in `mainEntity` has a non-empty `name` (the question text). AI engines use this as the query-match signal.

RULE · 4

answers_present

Every Question has acceptedAnswer with text

Each Question has an `acceptedAnswer` (Answer object) with non-empty `text`. Empty answers cause AI engines to skip the entity.

RULE · 5

answers_substantive

Answer text averages ≥50 chars

The average `text` length across all Answer entities is at least 50 characters. Short answers are de-prioritized by AI engines as low-quality.

RULE · 6

unique_questions

No duplicate Question entries

Each Question.name is unique within the FAQPage. Duplicate questions signal templating bugs that AI engines penalize.

RULE · 7

valid_question_count

3-30 Question entries

The Question count is between 3 and 30. Below 3 reduces citation depth; above 30 dilutes citation quality and signals topical drift.
