  "question": "Can Meta AI use documentation pages as a citation source?",
  "description": "Learn how Meta AI processes documentation pages for citations and discover actionable strategies to improve your technical content visibility and source attribution.",
  "summary": "Meta AI can use documentation pages as citation sources if they are technically accessible and relevant. Trakkr helps you monitor these citations to ensure your content remains competitive and visible within AI-generated responses.",
  "answer": "Meta AI relies on web-indexed content to generate responses, meaning documentation pages are viable citation sources if they are properly crawled and indexed. However, citation is not guaranteed and depends on the model's assessment of content relevance, authority, and the specific context of a user's prompt. To improve the likelihood of being cited, documentation must be technically accessible to AI crawlers and structured for clarity. Because AI citation patterns change frequently, you should use Trakkr to track which URLs are actually being cited and identify gaps where competitors are gaining more visibility than your own technical documentation.",
