Grounding
Grounding is anchoring an AI response to retrieved, verifiable information (documents, web sources, databases) to improve accuracy.

When systems rely on retrieved sources, your best "citable" pages become a competitive moat.
Action Steps
- Create pages with clear factual structure (definitions → steps → examples)
- Improve topical coverage so your site is retrieved for more queries
- Make your claims easy to verify
