  "description": "Optimize your WordPress site for Google AI Overviews by implementing structured data, machine-readable files, and tracking your brand's citation performance.",
  "summary": "To improve your WordPress site's chances of being cited in Google AI Overviews, focus on technical accessibility through Schema.org markup, clear content hierarchies, and the creation of machine-readable files like llms.txt. Monitoring these technical signals ensures your brand remains visible to AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "Achieving visibility in Google AI Overviews requires a technical WordPress setup that prioritizes machine-readable data. Start by deploying Schema.org markup to define your content types, such as FAQs and breadcrumbs, which helps AI models parse your site structure accurately. Next, create an llms.txt file to provide a concise summary of your brand for crawlers. Finally, use Trakkr to monitor your actual citation rates across various prompts. This combination of structured data and ongoing visibility tracking allows you to refine your content strategy based on how AI platforms interpret and present your brand to users in their search results.",
