Why 18 Tokens Matters

91% of AI citations are sentences under 18 tokens according to the Princeton University GEO study.

Token guidelines:

1-15 tokens: Optimal for AI citations
16-18 tokens: Acceptable, still citation-worthy
19+ tokens: Too long, AI must summarize (reduces citation confidence)

Rule of thumb: 1 token ≈ 0.75 words in English, so 18 tokens ≈ 12-15 words
