The Complete Ranking: Every Factor That Predicts AI Citation
All 14 metrics ranked in one unified table, plus two analyses testing whether page optimization works independently of domain authority.
The Unified Ranking
The top 4 are all domain metrics (d=0.796-1.205). The strongest page metric (Crawl & Index Signals, d=0.158) is 5x weaker than the weakest domain metric.
The Quartile Test
Page optimization only produces measurable positive effects among the highest-authority domains (Q4, d=0.24-0.37). In Q1-Q3, page-level differences are flat or negative.
