  "question": "Why is Perplexity citing resellers instead of my site?",
  "description": "Discover why Perplexity cites resellers over your original site. Learn how to optimize your content authority and technical SEO to reclaim your rightful citations.",
  "summary": "When Perplexity prioritizes resellers or aggregators over your primary domain, it often signals issues with content authority, crawlability, or canonicalization. This guide explores why AI search engines choose specific sources and provides actionable strategies to ensure your original content is recognized as the definitive authority, improving your visibility in AI-driven search results.",
  "answer": "Perplexity often cites resellers because they may have higher domain authority, faster indexing, or better-structured data that aligns with the AI's retrieval requirements. If your site is being bypassed, it is likely due to weak canonical tags, duplicate content issues, or a lack of clear schema markup that identifies your page as the original source. To fix this, ensure your site is properly indexed, implement robust canonical tags, and use structured data to signal ownership. By strengthening your technical SEO foundation and improving content uniqueness, you can signal to Perplexity that your domain is the primary source, effectively pushing resellers down in the citation rankings.",
