  "answer": "To identify citation gaps in AI answers, marketplace brands must move beyond manual spot-checking and implement systematic AI platform monitoring. By using Trakkr, teams can track specific buyer-style prompts across platforms like Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT to see which URLs are cited in response to high-intent queries. This process involves benchmarking your own citation rate against direct competitors to pinpoint exactly where your content is being overlooked. Once gaps are identified, brands can refine their content strategy and technical accessibility to ensure their pages are prioritized by AI models during the information retrieval process.",
