        "text": "Big risks include assistants quoting outdated info, mispronouncing your brand, or favoring a competitor for queries you thought you owned. There’s also the chance of over‑optimizing with spammy schema or awkward copy that hurts regular search performance.\n\nBecause you don’t control the exact wording of voice replies, reputation risks show up as subtle misalignment rather than dramatic misquotes.\n\nKEY FACTORS\n- Out‑of‑date hours, pricing, or policies in local listings\n- Inconsistent NAP or product naming across platforms\n- Over‑engineered copy that sounds robotic when read aloud\n- Misconfigured or misleading structured data\n\nMitigate risk by keeping business info current, writing answers in natural language, and validating your schema with testing tools. Regularly listen to how assistants currently describe your brand and adjust your content to shape that narrative.\n\nDone carefully, optimization reduces errors rather than creating new ones.",
