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)

Related searches (use the wording naturally where it fits):

AI-citation teardown: what the cited pages actually do (31 pages, October 25, 2026)

  • Only 0 of the organic top 10 for “wordpress vs webflow” 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 ~448 vs our 175. On-page changes help, but links matter here too.
  • Bulleted / numbered lists (3+ items): organic top 3 —, AI-cited pages like ours 24; this page 16.
  • Visible updated / published date: organic top 3 —, AI-cited pages like ours 2/4; this page ✗.
  • Schema BlogPosting: organic 0/0, AI-cited 2/4; this page has none.
  • 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: dev.to): “Solid Security (formerly iThemes Security) is the best for site hardening.”
  • AI repeats a point this page doesn't make clearly (cited: fs-poster.com): “Best for: Business-critical websites, online stores, and agencies managing multiple client sites where server performance and uptime matter most.”
  • Before answering, the AI ran verification searches: “site:wordpress.org/documentation automatic plugin updates WordPress official” (chat_gpt); “site:developer.wordpress.org automatic updates plugins WordPress official” (chat_gpt); “site:wordpress.org/support article plugin auto-updates official” (chat_gpt); “site:wordpress.org/documentation hacked WordPress FAQ my site was hacked” (chat_gpt); “site:wordpress.org/documentation hardening WordPress security” (chat_gpt). The page should answer what those checks look for (regulatory status, legitimacy, reviews), stated plainly near the top.
