AI visibility for
fintech.
Fintech queries carry the highest citation-quality bar of any vertical — LLMs are heavily RLHF'd to prefer authoritative sources on financial topics, and will reject content that fails credibility checks. The upside: once you're in the citation set, you're hard to displace.

How to get cited in fintech.
- 01
Publish your full fee schedule as HTML, not PDF
Models can't easily ingest PDFs. A public, HTML fee schedule at a stable URL is one of the highest-trust signals you can send. It also shows up in comparison queries like 'cheapest X for Y'.
- 02
Write developer docs that are better than your marketing site
Stripe won this war a decade ago. The principle still holds: if your docs are comprehensive, example-rich, and typo-free, you'll be cited in *every* technical query in your category — even by people who weren't researching your product.
- 03
Get transparent about risk
A /security or /trust page with specific, crawlable facts (SOC 2 dates, FDIC partner, encryption specifics) anchors the trust signal AI models look for in fintech. Don't hide it behind a CTA or a PDF download.
- 04
Ship comparison content with honest verdicts
The days of 'we're better than everyone' content are over. LLMs are trained to detect self-serving comparisons and down-weight them. Write comparisons where you *lose* on specific dimensions — it's far more citable.
