  "question": "Why is Apple Intelligence citing low-quality sources instead of our primary product pages?",
  "description": "Discover why Apple Intelligence prioritizes specific sources over your product pages and learn how to optimize your content for better AI platform visibility.",
  "summary": "Apple Intelligence prioritizes content based on machine-readable relevance and technical accessibility. Trakkr helps brands diagnose these citation gaps by monitoring how AI platforms retrieve and rank specific product pages against competitor sources.",
  "answer": "Apple Intelligence selects sources based on how effectively a page answers a specific user prompt rather than traditional ranking signals. If your primary product pages are overlooked, it is often due to technical accessibility barriers or a lack of machine-readable context that prevents the model from identifying your content as the definitive answer. Trakkr provides the necessary visibility to track these citations, allowing teams to audit crawler access and refine content structure. By shifting from manual spot checks to repeatable monitoring, you can align your pages with the specific intent-based requirements that AI models use to determine which sources to cite for your brand.",
