  "question": "Why is Claude citing low-quality sources instead of our primary pricing pages?",
  "description": "Discover why Claude prioritizes specific sources over your primary pricing pages and learn how to optimize your content for better AI answer engine visibility.",
  "summary": "Claude selects sources based on relevance and clarity. Trakkr helps you diagnose why your pricing pages are ignored and provides actionable steps to improve AI citation rates through better technical and narrative alignment.",
  "answer": "Claude selects sources based on how well content answers a user's prompt with clarity and authority. If your pricing pages lack structured data or descriptive context, the model may favor third-party sites that synthesize your information more effectively. To improve your visibility, use Trakkr to monitor specific prompt sets and identify where your narrative fails to meet the model's requirements. By refining your technical formatting and aligning your value propositions with buyer-style queries, you can increase the likelihood that Claude cites your primary pricing pages directly in its responses.",
