  "question": "Why is Apple Intelligence citing low-quality sources instead of our primary author pages?",
  "description": "Learn why Apple Intelligence prioritizes specific sources over your author pages and discover how to audit your content for better AI citation relevance today.",
  "summary": "Apple Intelligence prioritizes content based on machine-readable accessibility and perceived authority. Trakkr helps you diagnose why your author pages are bypassed by tracking citation gaps and monitoring crawler behavior to improve your visibility against competitors.",
  "answer": "Apple Intelligence selects sources based on technical accessibility and how well content aligns with specific user intent. If your primary author pages are ignored, it is often due to poor machine-readable formatting or a lack of clear structured data that defines author authority. Trakkr provides the diagnostic tools needed to track cited URLs and compare them against your own assets. By monitoring these citation gaps, you can identify technical barriers and optimize your content to ensure AI platforms recognize your pages as the authoritative source for relevant queries.",
