The independent sources AI models cite when answering car leasing questions — the places a brand needs to be seen, reviewed and ranked.
When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? All Car Leasing converts 88% of reads; Flexed just 0%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.
