Citation Referral Traffic
Visitors who finish reading a generated answer and click through to your page to verify a figure, see the full detail, or buy.
Analogy Mental model
The people who walk up to the lectern after the talk and ask for a card, ready to sign something.
In practice What you actually do
If the answer already contains everything you wrote, there is no reason to click. Give the citation somewhere to lead: an interactive calculator, measured comparison images, a downloadable template, a free trial, or a time-limited offer, and signal its existence in the passage the engine quotes.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Watch referral sessions from the major assistants and their revenue separately in analytics. The volume is small, the value per session is high, and averaging them into total organic hides both facts.
