Proof to get before publishing

Pages that get cited say things competitors cannot. Get these before the page ships; the draft uses [NEEDS ...] placeholders until then.

First-hand data or a test: something you measured or ran yourself: numbers only this site can publish
An expert source: a named person with credentials, quoted or reviewing the page
Primary sources: the original studies or official documents, linked directly (the draft check verifies them)

AI-citation teardown: what the cited pages actually do (30 pages, October 25, 2026)

Only 2 of the organic top 10 for “wordpress security plugin” are pages like ours (service page); the rest are forums, articles or directories. The AI-cited pages are the better comparison here.
Authority is part of the gap: AI-cited pages like ours sit on domains ranked ~382 vs our 175. On-page changes help, but links matter here too.
The AI-cited pages like ours have almost no links to the page itself (median 2 referring domains, max 5733): AI picks them on what the page says plus the domain, not on page-level links.
Question-form headings: organic top 3 12, AI-cited pages like ours 8; this page 4.
Tables: organic top 3 2, AI-cited pages like ours 1; this page 0.
FAQ section or FAQPage schema: organic top 3 2/2, AI-cited pages like ours 4/5; this page ✗.
AI repeats a point this page doesn't make clearly (cited: wpmarmite.com): “It also scans files for over 44,000 known malware variants and backdoors.”
AI repeats a point this page doesn't make clearly (cited: wordpress.org): “Refreshed Admin Experience : The admin dashboard has a quieter, more modern aesthetic featuring a new default color scheme, updated form inputs and buttons, and”
AI repeats a point this page doesn't make clearly (cited: dev.to): “Change your FTP/SFTP and Database (MySQL) passwords.”
AI repeats a point this page doesn't make clearly (cited: booknetic.com): “- Best for cloud-based malware cleanup: MalCare or Sucuri.”

Full evidence (quoted passages, feature table, authority): AI teardown. These override the generic AI guidance above when they disagree.
