The analysis also revealed that cited URLs have consistently higher similarity between their title and the original prompt, with a cosine similarity of 0.602, compared to 0.484 for non-cited URLs.\n\n## Why the Algorithm Does This\nThe mechanism behind this finding is rooted in ChatGPT's retrieval process, which uses a gatekeeping layer to decide which pages are worth opening and citing. The title, snippet, and URL are crucial in this initial decision, with search results dominating the citation pool. The study suggests that ChatGPT's algorithm prioritizes search results due to their relevance and credibility, while Reddit content, although useful for understanding topics and gauging consensus, is less likely to be cited.\n\n## The Creator / Developer Play\nTo increase citation likelihood, GEO practitioners can focus on optimizing their content for search, ensuring that their pages rank high in search results. Additionally, creating content that matches ChatGPT's internal sub-questions can improve relevance and citation rates. This can be achieved by using tools like Brand Radar to identify gaps in content and creating targeted content that addresses specific topics and questions.\n\n## What the Research Doesn't Cover\nThe study has some limitations, including the sample size and the focus on ChatGPT 5.2 prompts from February 2025.

This limitation is due to the tools' focus on simplifying the content generation process, which can lead to a lack of control over the output. In contrast, using a direct LLM approach allows creators to build custom workflows and reference files, resulting in more accurate and high-quality content.\n\n## The Creator / Developer Play\nTo overcome the limitations of AI writing tools, creators can use a direct LLM approach, such as Claude or OpenAI Codex. This involves building reference files for every product and competitor, breaking the workflow into repeatable tasks, and developing prompts for each task.
