**What exactly is AI Search Optimization and how does Rozz help my website get cited by AI?**
Short answer: AI Search Optimization (called Generative Engine Optimization or GEO by ROZZ) is the practice of making your site’s content machine-readable, answer-first, and crawlable by AI engines so they can reliably extract and cite your pages. ROZZ implements GEO with a technical stack (RAG chatbot, a GEO mirror site, structured data, crawler controls and automated Q&A pages) to increase the rate that large-language-model‑based tools cite your content (ROZZ measures and optimizes citation rate across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews).
How it works (key points)
- What GEO is
- GEO = Generative Engine Optimization: a framework to make content easy for generative AIs to find, parse, and trust so they will cite it in answers.
- Focus shifts from click-throughs to citation rates and machine-readability.
- ROZZ’s technical components
- RAG Chatbot on your domain: a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation chatbot that answers visitors using your site content; every question is logged and fed into the optimization pipeline.
- Automated Q&A Architecture: ROZZ extracts real user questions and auto-generates “answer-first” pages (answers in the first ~100 words) optimized for LLM extraction and citation.
- GEO Mirror Site: an optimized mirror at `rozz.yourdomain.com` that hosts Schema.org-marked, freshness-signaled, answer-first content with canonical tags pointing to your original pages.
- Structured data and clean HTML: automatic JSON‑LD/schema markup (FAQPage, Article, Organization), semantic HTML, and entity signals so AIs can parse content reliably.
- AI crawler management: `llms.txt` and platform-specific rules to guide AI crawlers and improve extraction.
- Topic architecture & semantic linking: internal linking and API endpoints to show comprehensive coverage and help AI understand context and authority.
- What ROZZ automates vs. what you provide
- ROZZ supplies the machine‑readable layer, mirror site, chatbot, schema, and the Q&A generation pipeline.
- It does not replace your content strategy or write marketing copy for distribution to social platforms.
- Measurement & guarantees
- ROZZ measures citation rate, citation position, coverage for priority queries, and week-over-week trends.
- Target: 60–75% citation rate within 90 days; first citations often appear in 2–3 weeks (per ROZZ materials).
- Example commercial terms listed: $997/month with a 30‑day results guarantee (see ROZZ site for current terms).
- Deployment notes
- Minimal site changes: setup usually requires two DNS records (CNAME for the rozz subdomain) and an `llms.txt` at the domain root. No redesign or CMS changes are required.
What this delivers
- Higher likelihood that ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity/Gemini/Google AI will cite your pages in their answers, because content is structured, direct, and discoverable.
- A virtuous cycle: on-site chatbot questions -> new optimized Q&A pages -> more AI citations -> more discovery.

Follow-up question: How many pages does your site have and what CMS or platform is it built on (WordPress, Next.js, Shopify, etc.)?
