You have a page that answers a buyer question, but AI doesn't cite it. Check these causes in order.

## 1. Engines can't read it

**How to check:** **Technical → Pages**. Find the page and look for fails on any engine. Click it to compare what a browser sees with the raw HTML a bot gets.

**Fix:** content that only appears after JavaScript runs is invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Render the key content in the page's HTML.

## 2. It isn't indexed or discoverable

**How to check:** in **Technical**, look at the page's indexing, sitemap and internal-link checks.

**Fix:** add it to your sitemap, link to it from related pages, and make sure it isn't marked noindex.

## 3. It doesn't answer the way AI compares

**How to check:** open the topic the page serves and its **Content** tab. Compare the facts AI weighs for that topic with what your page says.

**Fix:** cover the missing facts plainly, ideally near the top. The matching On-Page task under **Actions** lists them.

## 4. AI prefers another source for this question

**How to check:** in [Your pages](/features/content/), click the page and look at **What AI cites most** for its topic.

**Fix:** some questions are answered mostly from review sites, lists or Reddit. There, getting mentioned on those sources matters more than your own page. Work the Off-Page and UGC tasks for that topic.

## 5. It's too new

Engines need time to find and trust a new or changed page. Give it a few weeks to a month, and make sure it is linked from pages that already get traffic.
