Place direct, complete answers in the first two sentences under each heading.

Why this matters

Direct, concise answers at the start improve AI extraction, making your content more likely to be cited by ChatGPT.

Hypothetical standard operating procedure

Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

1. Review each heading section to identify the main question or topic.
2. Write an explicit, clear answer in the first two sentences under each heading.
3. Avoid embedding links or non-essential details in the initial sentence.
4. Follow with supporting information, examples, or caveats after the direct answer.
5. Test extractability by isolating and reading the first two sentences alone.

Definition of done

Under each heading, the initial one or two sentences fully answer the question or claim stated in the heading, tested by copy-pasting the snippet alone for clarity.
