How To Get Cited by ChatGPT and LLM SEO

This one prompt reveals what content AI cites, and why.

Once you know what AI cites, you can reverse-engineer it.

This matters because AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are already showing users specific sources.

If your content isn’t one of them, you’re essentially invisible in the new AI search world.

Start with a prompt:
“What are the top sources for answering the question: ‘[insert your keyword]'”

I wanted to see exactly what links, blogs, authors, and formats LLMs are pulling from.
Then I asked:

“Why did you choose these specific sources?”

I wanted to understand what makes something citation-worthy in an LLM's eyes.

Next prompt:

“What should I do to create content that gets cited by LLMs like ChatGPT?”

This revealed a clear playbook on what LLMs value—structure, length, link strategy, media, tone.

Finally, I asked:

“What important subtopics are missing from current coverage—and could be opportunities to get cited?”

This gave me a list of strategic content gaps I could own.

With just 4 prompts, I mapped:
What’s ranking in AI right now
Why it’s being selected
How to replicate the structure
Where the whitespace is

You don’t need guesswork.

You just need the right prompt sequence and content strategy.

Here's a quick video walk through.

What else would be good to ask to reverse-engineer LLM citations?
