        "text": "The main risks are **being misquoted, overlooked, or simplified** if your content is ambiguous, outdated, or contradicts itself.\n\nAI systems prefer sources with clean claims, consistent facts, and up-to-date examples; messy content can cause them to skip or distort you.\n\nKey factors:\n- Conflicting statements across pages about pricing, features, or policies\n- Lack of dates, authorship, or context for claims\n- Thin or promotional copy with no evidence\n- Poor structure that hides the real answer\n\nReduce risk by reviewing key pages for clarity, consistency, and recent data before pushing schema and Q&A structures.\n\nTreat every important section as a quotable statement you’d be comfortable seeing repeated elsewhere.",
