AI-driven discovery rewards ideas that can be reused. Learn why “being quoted” is the new form of search visibility.
In classic SEO, visibility ended with a click.
In AI search, it starts with a citation.
When a model reuses your phrasing, it’s not plagiarism — it’s presence.
Your ideas become part of the collective narrative the model tells.
That’s the new goal: semantic quotability.
To achieve it, you must write with definable clarity —
explain ideas so well that they survive reformulation.
Forget ranking signals.
Focus on reasoning signals.
Because models don’t link back —
they think forward.
And in that new economy of meaning,
being quoted once may be worth a thousand clicks.
