The 24-Signal Authority Grid

Every signal that makes AI cite you — mapped in one reference. Ten FAQ signals, ten SAQ signals, and four Authority Anchors.

10 FAQ signals  +  10 SAQ signals  +  4 Authority Anchors  =  24 authority signals, distributed to 5 AI engines via the Citation Geyser

10 · FAQ signals

Answer what your audience is already asking. These capture existing demand — the questions people type into Google, ChatGPT, and Gemini right now — answered completely and early, on your own domain, with schema.

10 · SAQ signals

Answer what only your expertise can. Should-Ask Questions are your unfair advantage: they take 37 years of real-world experience to answer, so no national site, no generalist, and no model can replicate them.

4 · Authority Anchors

Anchor 1

Your Story

Anchor 2

Your Framework

A nameable method that positions you as a system creator.

Anchor 3
