Why AI systems cite forums
Forums and review sites contain first-hand experience reports, current discussions and exactly the phrasing people use to ask questions. In many categories, they therefore appear alongside trade media in the source lists of AI answers.
What you can do
Be present where real questions get asked: answer helpfully, identify openly as a provider, maintain review profiles. GeoTrova' source analysis reports UGC and forums separately – so you can see which communities in your category are actually cited.
