Attribution Confidence Definition
The probability that a generative engine will explicitly name or link to a source, based on clarity of ownership, authority signals, and ease of attribution.
What Is Attribution Confidence?
Attribution confidence describes how likely AI answer engines are to recognise a source clearly enough to name it, cite it, or link to it when generating an answer.
In Generative Engine Optimisation, stronger attribution confidence is built through clear entity ownership, consistent author and organisation signals, trusted source formatting, and content that makes citation easy for generative AI systems.
