  "question": "Why is Perplexity citing low-quality sources instead of our primary pricing pages?",
  "description": "Learn why Perplexity prioritizes specific sources over your primary pricing pages and discover how to optimize content for better AI answer engine visibility.",
  "summary": "Perplexity selects sources based on relevance and clarity rather than domain authority alone. You can improve your pricing page visibility by using machine-readable formats and monitoring how AI platforms interpret your commercial content through Trakkr's citation intelligence tools.",
  "answer": "Perplexity often bypasses primary pricing pages if the content lacks clear, comparative data or fails to answer the user's intent directly. The model prioritizes sources that provide concise, structured information, which often leads it to favor third-party reviews or aggregator sites over your own landing pages. To improve your visibility, you must ensure your pricing information is easily parsable and contextually relevant to the specific queries being asked. Using Trakkr, you can monitor exactly which URLs are being cited for your brand and adjust your technical structure or narrative framing to better align with the requirements of AI answer engines.",
