Great stuff, I will give it a try. The Google vs chatGPT/Perplexity stats are impressive. If you have any other tips which you know work, please shout! Thanks Team!
The conversion gap is the number worth sitting with 15.9% from ChatGPT vs 1.76% from Google organic. That's not a marginal difference, that's a different category of reader. Higher intent, closer to a decision. And most Substack writers are completely invisible to that traffic because their posts aren't structured to be extracted.
The CITED framework operationalizes something most writers do accidentally when it works: give AI engines a clear, citable answer early, then build the argument around it. Worth implementing deliberately.
I write about production AI systems and distributed backends subscribing here too.

Thank you for the interest and the support!
I recommend this as an incredible source of info on the topic: https://searchengineland.com/mastering-generative-engine-optimization-in-2026-full-guide-469142
Our skill was modeled on this too :P
