Assistant-Optimized Pages: ChatGPT-Ready Content That Actually Gets Quoted
How assistants can quote your pages (Last updated: 12. Dec. 2025)
- Answer-first sections at the top (like this).
- Clear recency signal: a visible “Last updated”.
- Minimal schema where it matters (CreativeWork/FAQ).
- Stable slugs & canonicals; avoid duplicate years.
- Dense internal links with explicit anchor text.
Takeaway: Structure for machines, write for humans — assistants will do the rest.

With AI search now rolling out across Europe, these technical foundations matter even more. Learn how European AI search changes what assistants select — and how to stay visible.
Search isn’t the only gateway anymore. Assistants quote pages that answer fast, signal freshness, and use predictable schema.
What assistants actually parse
They extract short, high-signal chunks: headings, lists, tables, inline definitions, and clean URLs. JS-only content, gated copy, and moving targets (changing slugs) break reliability. Your goal: make the first 300–500 words quote-ready without scrolling.
The Answer-Box recipe
- Lead with value: 5–7 bullets that answer the query directly.
- Timestamp it: add a visible “Last updated”.
- One action: link to a checklist/guide — not three CTAs.
Minimal schema that moves the needle
Keep it simple. For guides and thought leadership, CreativeWork plus a compact FAQPage is enough. For standard posts, Article/BlogPosting is fine — add FAQ only when it genuinely answers common questions.
Internal links that assistants love
Use explicit anchors that tell the model why the link matters. From this post, point to:
- The Anti-Hype Guide — real AI marketing that actually works
- AI vs. Traditional Marketing — what works in 2026
- AI Rebels — outperform giants with a lean stack
Two examples from your site
Anti-Hype Guide: clear promise, lean tactics, no fluff — extend it with an answer-box and a visible “Last updated”.
AI vs. Traditional (2026): already built with answer-first and recency; keep the slug stable for the year and link it site-wide.
Implementation checklist (copy-ready)
- Add an answer-box at the top (bullets + visible date).
- Ensure a single canonical and a stable slug.
- Attach minimal schema (CreativeWork or Article; add FAQ if relevant).
- Link to 2–3 related posts with explicit anchor text.
- One CTA: point to the free guide.
