Get cited by AI, not just ranked
AI Overviews cut top-result click-through rates by roughly 58% — the citation is the new click. Draftwave structures every article so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can lift it straight into an answer, while classic search still ranks it.

}What Draftwave enforces on every article
Answer-first opening
A 40–60 word direct answer before any preamble — the passage extractors grab.
Question-shaped H2s
Headings phrased as the questions people actually ask, each answered in its first sentence.
Key-takeaways block
3–5 highly extractable bullets near the top.
FAQ block
3–8 PAA-aligned questions, 50–150-word answers — the highest AEO leverage.
Cited sources
Links to reputable primaries; engines favor content that references authorities.
Freshness signals
Emits dateModified and flags cornerstone content for refresh.
Schema is only ever applied to content that genuinely matches the type — fake HowTo or FAQ markup is a spam signal, so the gate blocks publish on invalid or mismatched schema.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO optimizes to rank in traditional search results; AEO (answer engine optimization) optimizes to be quoted inside AI answers like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Draftwave does both — classic ranking and AI citability — on every article.
Do FAQ blocks really improve AI citations?
Measurably. Pages with FAQPage schema are about 4.2× more likely to be cited in AI Overviews, and Article schema about 1.6×. Draftwave emits both deterministically and validates them before publish.
Does Draftwave add schema automatically?
Yes. Article and FAQPage JSON-LD are generated in code from the article's structure and validated as part of the quality gate, so every published piece ships with correct, matching schema — never fake or broken markup.
Can I track whether AI engines cite my content?
AI-visibility tracking — querying the answer engines for your target questions and recording whether your domain is cited — is on the roadmap as a per-site score over time.
