Add city-by-city Q&As to your App Store description so chatbots quote it

What they did
Rewrote the App Store description (up to 4,000 characters) to include a Q&A section, because the App Store web listing is the most authoritative page about the app and chatbots readily lift Q&A text. Questions are written as users ask them, per city ('What's the best way to find my bus in Chicago?'), and differ by storefront (US: New York, Chicago, SF, LA; Canada: Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver).
