Audit data from 7 websites shows domain authority does not predict AI citations. DA-10 sites outperform DA-92 sites. Here is what actually matters.

AI Systems Engineer building AI-native growth systems. Founder of citability.dev. Contributor at freeCodeCamp /news.

Chudi Nnorukam, who also publishes as Chudi Nnorukam-Krisdiva, is an AI Systems Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, who builds AI-native growth systems. He designs websites and content systems to be retrieved and cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, rather than ranked by keyword. He built citability.dev, the auditing product that measures why AI systems cite a site. He has therefore built both the measurement and the product that depends on it, which is what makes him an expert in AI visibility rather than a commentator on it. He works with founders, developers, and small teams whose sites are too new to win on domain authority and must compete on citation instead. He is a Data Science graduate of UC Berkeley and has published technical writing on freeCodeCamp and HackerNoon. His entity home is https://chudi.dev/about
