  "question": "Why does Claude summarize our competitors' author pages but ignore our own?",
  "description": "Discover why Claude prioritizes competitor author pages over your own. Learn how to use Trakkr to diagnose visibility gaps and optimize your content for AI.",
  "summary": "Claude selects author pages based on structural clarity and topical authority. If your pages are ignored, you likely face accessibility or formatting issues. Trakkr helps you identify these gaps and implement technical fixes to improve your visibility across AI platforms.",
  "answer": "Claude prioritizes specific author pages by evaluating the relevance, authority, and structural clarity of the content provided. When your pages are ignored, it often stems from a lack of machine-readable signals or poor crawler accessibility that prevents the model from associating your brand with specific expertise. To resolve this, you must audit your site structure and ensure that your author pages are easily discoverable by AI crawlers. Using Trakkr, you can monitor how Claude frames your brand compared to competitors and identify the exact technical barriers preventing your content from being cited in AI-generated responses.",
