### AI Citation Rate Low
Check crawler access → Verify robots.txt allows GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot
Content too complex → Simplify structure, add clear headers, use direct answers
No structured data → Add FAQ, HowTo, Article schema markup
Missing entity signals → Strengthen topic authority, add entity-rich content
### High Impressions, Low Citations
Content lacks authority → Add data, research, expert quotes, original insights
Answer not direct → Rewrite with immediate value in first paragraph
Schema incomplete → Validate and enhance structured data
Factual accuracy issues → Fact-check, add sources, update stale data
### Platform-Specific Ranking Issues
ChatGPT not citing → Focus on LinkedIn, G2, Gartner-style content
Perplexity ignoring → Add video content, enhance PeerSpot-style reviews
Gemini missing → Optimize for Medium, Reddit, community platforms
Google AIO absent → Strengthen EEAT signals, add author bios
### Technical Issues
Crawlers blocked → Check robots.txt, security settings, JavaScript dependencies
JavaScript-heavy site → Add server-side rendering or static fallbacks
Dynamic content → Ensure critical content loads without JS
Slow response times → Optimize server performance for crawler requests
### Content Freshness
Stale citations → Update with 2024-2025 data, add recent examples
Old publication dates → Refresh content, update timestamps
Outdated facts → Verify against current sources, correct inaccuracies
