This aligns with what we're seeing too. LLMs often distrust new domains but will happily cite the same content if it appears on a platform they already trust (like Reddit, Medium, or established industry sites).

Another factor we've noticed is structured data (JSON-LD). If your own site has clear Schema markup for the Product/SoftwareApplication, it seems to help LLMs 'understand' the entity better, even if they don't rank the page itself for the query. It's like giving them a cheat sheet.
