  "description": "Learn if Google AI Overviews can cite legal pages as sources. Discover how to optimize your compliance documentation for better visibility in AI-generated answers.",
  "summary": "Google AI Overviews can cite legal pages if they are indexable and highly relevant. Trakkr helps you monitor these citations to ensure your content remains visible.",
  "answer": "Google AI Overviews can use legal pages as a citation source provided the content is crawlable, indexable, and directly addresses the user's query. AI platforms prioritize high-authority, relevant content for citations, meaning your legal documentation must be technically accessible and clearly written to be considered. Because AI crawlers treat legal pages similarly to other content types, you should focus on technical formatting and schema to improve visibility. Trakkr allows you to monitor whether specific URLs are being cited in AI answers, providing the data needed to refine your content strategy and ensure your legal pages appear in relevant search results.",
