  "question": "Why is ChatGPT citing low-quality sources instead of our primary comparison pages?",
  "description": "Discover why ChatGPT prioritizes low-quality sources over your primary comparison pages and learn how to optimize your content for better AI citation accuracy.",
  "summary": "When ChatGPT ignores your primary comparison pages in favor of lower-quality sources, it often stems from poor schema markup, lack of clear authority signals, or suboptimal content structure. By refining your technical SEO and enhancing page relevance, you can improve how AI models perceive and cite your most valuable comparison assets.",
  "answer": "ChatGPT prioritizes sources based on perceived authority, relevance, and technical accessibility. If your comparison pages are being overlooked, it is likely because the model finds higher-quality signals elsewhere. To fix this, ensure your pages use structured data, have clear internal linking, and provide concise, high-value summaries that AI models can easily parse. Additionally, optimizing your page speed and ensuring your content is indexed correctly in search engines will help ChatGPT recognize your comparison pages as the definitive source of truth. Consistent updates and clear value propositions are essential for maintaining high citation priority in LLM responses.",
