  "description": "Learn how DeepSeek processes and cites legal documentation. Discover how to monitor your brand's legal page visibility and citation performance using Trakkr.",
  "summary": "DeepSeek can cite legal pages if they are web-accessible and relevant. Trakkr provides the necessary tools to monitor these citations, verify source attribution, and optimize your content for better AI visibility across major platforms.",
  "answer": "DeepSeek utilizes web-crawled data to generate responses, meaning your legal pages are eligible for citation if they are publicly accessible and relevant to user queries. While citation is not guaranteed, the model evaluates content based on internal relevance and ranking algorithms. To verify if your legal pages are being cited, you must move beyond manual spot checks and implement systematic monitoring. Trakkr enables brands to track specific URLs, measure citation rates, and identify technical barriers that prevent AI systems from properly indexing or attributing your legal documentation. Consistent monitoring ensures that your latest legal updates are accurately reflected in AI-generated answers.",
