Get cited by Claude
To be surfaced by Claude, publish clear, factual, well-structured, authoritative content, and, where relevant, make your data available to Claude through tools like MCP so it can reference you directly.
What helps
Claude values accurate, clearly-written, trustworthy sources. The same answer-first structure, specific facts, schema and authority that win elsewhere apply. When Claude has access to live tools or data (via MCP), well-structured, machine-readable content is easiest for it to use.
Practical steps
Write plainly and factually, add schema and an llms.txt, keep entity/brand facts consistent, and build trusted references across the web. If you offer data or docs, make them clean and structured so AI tools can read them.
Frequently asked
