GEO for builders: make your docs citable by answer engines

Why this matters

Users increasingly get answers inside ChatGPT/Perplexity without clicking. Your docs can win even if you never rank #1 in classic SEO — if they are extractable and factual.

Builder checklist

  1. Put a 40–80 word direct answer under each question heading
  2. Prefer numbers, versions, and failure modes over adjectives
  3. Keep passages ~120–180 words (good extraction size)
  4. Publish a retestable acceptance list (multi-engine, day-14)
  5. Don’t claim guaranteed recommendations
