  "description": "Learn how to win back citations in ChatGPT by diagnosing visibility gaps, auditing technical accessibility, and implementing a repeatable monitoring workflow.",
  "summary": "Recovering lost citations in ChatGPT requires a systematic approach to monitoring brand mentions and technical accessibility. By using Trakkr to track prompt-level performance and auditing your source pages, you can identify why your brand visibility has shifted and implement targeted content improvements to regain your competitive standing.",
