  "question": "Why is Meta AI citing low-quality sources instead of our primary changelog pages?",
  "description": "Learn why Meta AI prioritizes specific sources over your changelog pages and how to audit your content for better visibility and accurate AI citation intelligence.",
  "summary": "Meta AI selects sources based on semantic structure and relevance to user intent. By auditing your citation footprint and implementing machine-readable standards like llms.txt, you can improve the likelihood of your primary changelog pages being cited by AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "Meta AI often bypasses primary changelog pages because they lack the semantic structure required for AI models to synthesize them as authoritative answers. Unlike traditional SEO, AI citation intelligence relies on how well content aligns with the user's prompt intent and the machine-readability of the source. To influence these citation patterns, you must ensure your changelog pages are discoverable by AI crawlers and formatted for easy extraction. Trakkr provides the necessary tools to monitor cited URLs and citation rates, allowing you to identify gaps where competitors are providing more accessible content that Meta AI currently favors over your own documentation.",
