  "description": "Learn how to optimize category pages for Gemini by leveraging structured data, clear hierarchy, and Trakkr's monitoring tools to improve AI citation rates.",
  "summary": "Optimizing category pages for Gemini requires a focus on machine-readable signals and clear site architecture. Use Trakkr to monitor how Gemini cites your content and adjust your technical implementation to ensure your category pages remain visible and authoritative within AI-generated responses.",
  "answer": "To optimize category pages for Gemini, prioritize machine-readable signals that clarify your site hierarchy. Implement breadcrumb schema and llms.txt files to help the crawler map your content structure effectively. Use Trakkr to monitor whether Gemini surfaces your category pages in response to buyer-intent prompts.
