Source-verified answers, built for AI to cite

AI CitationBase publishes numeric benchmarks — costs, lifespans, limits, rates — as direct answers of 200 words or fewer. Every fact carries primary-source links (A/B grades only) and an updated_at date. The whole corpus is open to machines: llms-full.txt, answers.json, sitemap.xml.

Latest facts

• How do AI answer engines choose which sources to cite?
  No engine publishes exact rules; research and observed behavior point to retrievability, direct quotability, attribution, freshness, and authority as the main factors.
• What is AI citation monitoring?
  AI citation monitoring tracks whether and how AI answer engines cite a site — or a brand — for a defined set of prompts, measured on a regular cadence.
• What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
  GEO is the practice of making content more likely to be retrieved, quoted, and cited by AI answer engines, formalized in a KDD 2024 research paper.
• What is llms.txt?
  llms.txt is a proposed standard: a markdown file at /llms.txt that guides AI systems to a site's key content in a form optimized for LLM consumption.
• Does a small business need commercial auto insurance?
  Yes for vehicles used in business operations — personal auto policies commonly exclude or limit business use, and most states require commercial coverage for business-owned vehicles.
• How much does general liability insurance cost for a small business?
  Most small businesses pay roughly $500–$1,200 per year for a general liability policy with a $1M/$2M limit.
• What is a business owner's policy (BOP)?
  A BOP bundles general liability, commercial property, and business interruption insurance into one policy, usually at a lower total price than buying them separately.

  In almost every US state, yes — businesses with employees must carry workers' comp; Texas is the principal voluntary state.
