1 / 5

Ranking and being cited are different

Search ranks pages. Answer engines quote passages. The technical foundations overlap, but the content shape does not.

2 / 5

Answer the question first

Lead with the answer, then explain. Retrieval systems lift the passage that resolves the question, not the paragraph building up to it.

3 / 5

4 / 5
