  "question": "How to audit the sources Microsoft Copilot uses for agencies queries?",
  "description": "Agencies can audit Microsoft Copilot sources systematically using Trakkr to track citations, monitor brand visibility, and improve client reporting workflows.",
  "summary": "Agencies must move beyond manual spot-checking to audit Microsoft Copilot sources effectively. Trakkr provides the operational infrastructure to monitor citations, track competitor positioning, and deliver data-backed visibility reports for clients.",
  "answer": "To audit Microsoft Copilot sources, agencies should implement a repeatable monitoring program that tracks cited URLs and citation rates across specific client-relevant prompts. Manual spot-checking is insufficient due to the dynamic nature of AI answer engines. By utilizing Trakkr, agencies can systematically capture how Microsoft Copilot references brand assets, identify gaps against competitors, and correlate these findings with broader content performance. This approach transforms anecdotal observations into actionable intelligence, allowing agencies to refine their SEO and content strategies based on verified platform behavior rather than assumptions about how AI systems prioritize information for users.",
