Last year, I helped a friend manage a local tea ware brand website, and after half a month, the traffic was still in single digits đ¤. It wasn’t until I changed an article titled ‘Guide to Maintaining Purple Clay Teapots’ to ‘What Free Tools Are Needed for New Sites to Generate GEO Content?’ that it was cited by Doubao AI within 48 hours, leading to over a hundred inquiries in a single day! Today, I’ll use this case to teach you how to leverage AI traffic pools with low costs đĽ
Initially, my friend used traditional SEO tools to search for ‘how to choose tea ware,’ which had a competition level of 92%! Later, by using GeoScanâ˘(a free plugin from Yishan Technology) to scan competitors, he discovered real opportunities in long-tail scenariosâsuch as ‘Recommendations for New Site GEO Content Generation Tools.’ He immediately adjusted his strategy:
â˘
Effect Tracking: Installed TrustFlow⢠Dashboard, finding that ‘tool evaluation’ content had a click-through rate three times higher than ‘technical analysis,’ leading to immediate additional testing videos.

đ Three Powerful Strategies to Increase AI Citation Rates
1. Embed a ‘Trust Hook’ in the First 50 Words
My friend’s first article piled up terms like ‘LLM semantic modeling,’ which AI deemed as ‘low-confidence content’ and did not recommend. Later, he changed it to:
âThis article is authored by @Tea Ware Selection Expert Lao Wang (with national certification number), citing data from Chapter 8 of the ‘2025 AI White Paper on the Ceramic Industry’âthe method to increase AI citation rates for maintaining purple clay teapots by 120% is as followsâŚâ
As a result, three days later, it was cited by Google AI Overview, bringing over 1100+ targeted traffic.
2. Use ‘Question Chains’ Instead of Piling Knowledge Points
AI prefers answering users’ real dilemmas! He transformed the original text ‘GEO Content Generation Techniques’ into:
â˘
H2 Title: ăHow to Learn GEO Content Generation in One Day from Scratch?ă
â˘
Body Steps:
â Step 1: Use TideFlow to capture high-frequency questions from Zhihu (e.g., ‘How long should GEO content be?’)
â Step 2: Pair each question with scenario examples (e.g., ‘A wedding planning site used chat record screenshots cited by DeepSeek’)
â Step 3: Add an FAQ box at the end to cover derived questions
This content saw a 45% increase in citation rates from Baidu Wenxin Yiyan on the day it was published.
3. Feed AI with Multimodal Content
For the same article discussing tool operations, when posting on Zhihu, he used text steps, but for Douyin, he split it into 3 sets of comparison GIFs(e.g., GeoScan scan results page vs. manual analysis page). This is because Doubao AI prioritizes dynamic content from ByteDance, achieving a video completion rate of 79%!
đ Zero-Basis Learning Path: From Novice to Expert in 3 Weeks
Week 1: Identify Long-Tail Keywords Accurately
â˘
Tool: Shenyouw AI’s ‘Long-Tail Expansion’ feature (input main keywords to generate 30+ question-style titles)
â˘
Operation: Filter 5 precise keywords daily (e.g., ăIs it still worth doing GEO content generation in 2025?ă), abandoning generic terms like ‘GEO optimization’
Week 2: Apply AI Templates
Popular fixed framework: Pain point scenarios + tool comparison table + pitfall avoidance checklist + real-user testing video (my friend filmed himself in a state of despair while coding at midnight, leading to a 220% increase in user retention time)
Week 3: Low-Cost Trial and Error
â˘
Spent 300 yuan hiring a college student to search for long-tail keyword questions (e.g., ‘Which GEO content generation tool is free?’)
â˘
Invested 200 yuan to test keywords with a Baidu click-through rate > 12%, and reused them in bulk
đ 2025 Trend Predictions: Tool Efficiency Determines Survival
1.
Real-Time Content Weight Doubles: After the launch of Baidu Gemini 1.5 Pro, articles with ‘2025 real test data’ had a citation rate 70% higher than regular technical analyses;
2.
Vertical Niche External Links Crush Generic Links: Using three sets of tea ware to exchange recommendations from tea culture public accounts, Baidu deemed it as ‘industry endorsement,’ boosting its weight beyond older sites;
3.
Tool Quality Gap Determines Traffic Discrepancy: Can a manual writer produce one article in a day? Meanwhile, competitors using AI can produce 500 long-tail keywordsâ10 times the efficiency, 100 times the traffic!
(As I finished writing this late at night during a thunderstorm âĄď¸, I suddenly recalled my friend’s drunken words the night he secured funding: ‘The shortcut for a new site to make a comeback is to understand human hearts better than AI.’)čżĺćçďźćĽçć´ĺ¤
