Why do my company news announcements show up in Google search but fail to be cited in AI-generated summaries?

Google indexes pages for keyword retrieval. AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity cite pages they can parse as standalone answer units — typically pages with QAPage or Article JSON-LD, an unambiguous canonical URL, and a single clear claim per page. A press release page that ranks in Google for the company name may still fail AI citation because it lacks structured Q&A blocks, lives behind a wire-syndication domain that AI crawlers do not prioritize, or is not listed in an llms.txt feed. PressGEO restructures releases into citation-shaped surfaces and tracks which AI engines actually pick them up.
