  "question": "Why is Google AI Overviews citing low-quality sources instead of our primary pricing pages?",
  "description": "Discover why Google AI Overviews prioritizes low-quality sources over your primary pricing pages and learn actionable strategies to improve your search visibility.",
  "summary": "Google AI Overviews often bypasses primary pricing pages in favor of third-party aggregators due to indexing signals, page authority, and content structure. This guide explores how to optimize your technical SEO, improve schema markup, and enhance content relevance to ensure Google correctly identifies and cites your official pricing information as the authoritative source.",
  "answer": "Google AI Overviews prioritizes sources based on perceived authority, freshness, and structured data clarity. If your pricing pages are being overlooked, it is likely because third-party sites have stronger backlink profiles or more explicit schema markup that Google's algorithms find easier to parse. To fix this, ensure your pricing pages feature clear, descriptive headings, valid Product schema, and internal linking structures that signal high relevance. Additionally, reducing page load times and ensuring your content is not hidden behind complex JavaScript can help Google's crawlers index your pricing data more effectively, ultimately improving your chances of being cited as the primary source in AI-generated responses.",
