Yoast says my SEO is all green. ChatGPT has never heard of me

Ran a few of my own sites through the Yoast checklist last year.

All green. Then I asked ChatGPT and Perplexity the questions those pages were meant to answer and they cited someone else every time.

Turns out ranking and being cited are different problems.

A 2024 Princeton-led study measured what actually drives citation and it is not what the green light checks for.

Has anyone else noticed this on their WordPress sites?

Curious whether it is just me or whether the green tick has quietly stopped meaning what it used to.
