How to Get Cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Apple Intelligence

Getting cited by conversational AI requires moving beyond legacy keyword SEO. Large Language Models synthesize answers using real-time web crawlers and structured context protocols. Here is the exact three-step framework Montjoy Synapse deploys.

01

Unblock AI User Agents

Update robots.txt to explicitly allow GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, and ClaudeBot. A blocked crawler cannot cite you.

User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /
02

Deploy AI Protocols

Publish validated /llms.txt, /ai.json, and nested JSON-LD (Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service) so LLMs understand your locality, services, and authority.

/llms.txt · /ai.json · JSON-LD @graph
03

Establish Entity Nodes

Cross-link verified sameAs entries across LinkedIn, Crunchbase, GitHub, and G2 so retrieval agents resolve your brand to a single trusted entity.

"sameAs": ["linkedin.com/...", "crunchbase.com/..."]
