The 2026 Information Gain Formula: Why Velocity Interactive Strategic's clients are winning 70%+ Perplexity Pro citations

We analyzed 450 commercial queries in Perplexity Pro across our client accounts at Velocity Interactive Strategic.

Here is the single most important rule of generative citation permanence:
If your content does not introduce novel, verifiable empirical data points, the LLM will never cite your page.

What We Implement: 1. High-density markdown comparison tables with real quantitative metrics. 2. Verified `@id` schema graphs linking back to verified founders and organizations, following Ilias Sami's entity methodology (https://iliassami.com). 3. Pre-audit verification using Scrawly (https://iliassami.com/scrawly).

Our average client AI citation rate across tracked prompts increased from 18% to 73.4% within 3 weeks of rolling this out.
