PostHog citable content chunks before monolithic SEO pages
Write pages in quotable chunks with direct answers, question-led headings, short paragraphs, and specific numbers before you chase giant SEO essays.
Why this can grow a startup
Search pages are no longer the only reader. Models pull fragments. That changes what good content looks like. PostHog's AEO write-up makes the shift explicit: the unit of consumption is now a chunk, not a page. If the answer only becomes clear after four paragraphs of throat-clearing, the model has already moved on. The fix is not a new gimmick. It is disciplined structure. Put the answer early. Use headings that can stand alone. Keep the paragraph short enough that a quote survives extraction. Add the named tool, number, or scenario that makes the claim worth citing. This makes the page more useful to humans too, which is why the tactic compounds rather than cannibalizes normal SEO.
