A fill-in citation block — the metadata AI engines look for to trust and attribute a claim.
Frequently asked questions
What is a "citation metadata block" and why would an AI engine look for one?
It's a compact block — author, date, sources, key facts — placed near a claim that gives a model an explicit, structured signal about where a piece of information came from and how current it is, making it easier to trust and attribute confidently in a generated answer.
Is this the same as Article schema (JSON-LD)?
They're complementary, not identical — Article schema is machine-readable markup in the page's code, while a CiteMET block is human-readable content on the visible page. Using both together gives an engine two independent ways to find the same attribution signal.
Where on the page should the CiteMET block go?
Near the specific claim it supports, or at the top of an article if it applies to the whole piece — proximity matters, since a model working from a specific passage is more likely to pick up nearby attribution than a block buried at the bottom.
Does adding this block guarantee more citations?
No — it makes attribution easier once a model has already decided your content is relevant, but it doesn't influence which content gets selected in the first place. Pair it with strong, checkable content rather than treating it as a standalone fix.
