生成エンジン最適化のための構造的特徴エンジニアリング：コンテンツ構造がいかに引用行動を形作るか

The proliferation of AI-powered search engines has shifted information discovery from traditional link-based retrieval to direct answer generation with selective source citation, creating new challenges for content visibility. While existing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) approaches focus primarily on semantic content modification, the role of structural features in influencing citation behavior remains underexplored. In this paper, we propose GEO-SFE, a systematic framework for structural feature engineering in generative engine optimization. Our approach decomposes content structure into three hierarchical levels: macro-structure (document architecture), meso-structure (information chunking), and micro-structure (visual emphasis), and models their impact on citation probability across different generative engine architectures. We develop architecture-aware optimization strategies and predictive models that preserve semantic integrity while improving structural effectiveness. Experimental evaluation across six mainstream generative engines demonstrates consistent improvements in citation rate (17.3 percent) and subjective quality (18.5 percent), validating the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed framework. This work establishes structural optimization as a foundational component of GEO, providing a data-driven methodology for enhancing content visibility in LLM-powered information ecosystems.
