Verdict
The clearest mechanism in this group: if crawlers can't read your page, they can't quote it. It only helps sites that need JavaScript to show content; a plain HTML site gains nothing.
Evidence
Concrete mechanism: crawlers get a readable HTML copy of pages that otherwise need JavaScript. Testimonials on the pricing page are about Google indexing; no controlled evidence on AI citations shown.
What the vendor's own site shows about whether the tool changes AI citations, checked . Our own tests are separate.
