  "question": "Why does Perplexity summarize our competitors' comparison pages but ignore our own?",
  "description": "Understand why Perplexity prioritizes competitor comparison pages over your own and learn how to diagnose and fix visibility gaps using Trakkr's technical tools.",
  "summary": "Perplexity selects comparison pages based on source authority, relevance, and technical accessibility. You can diagnose visibility gaps by benchmarking your content against competitors and identifying technical barriers that prevent effective indexing by AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "Perplexity prioritizes comparison pages that offer clear, structured, and objective data that directly addresses user intent. If your pages are ignored, it is often due to a lack of technical accessibility or content formatting that prevents the AI from parsing your comparison tables effectively. By using Trakkr, you can benchmark your visibility against competitors to identify specific citation gaps. This allows you to adjust your page structure and content to better align with the buyer-style prompts that trigger AI-generated comparison answers, ensuring your brand is consistently represented in the results.",
