  "summary": "CDP marketers track AI traffic by monitoring citations and brand narratives across platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Trakkr provides the specialized visibility needed to measure how AI models describe and recommend your platform to potential buyers.",
  "answer": "CDP startups measure AI traffic attribution by shifting focus from traditional link-based analytics to citation intelligence and narrative monitoring. Because AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity often synthesize information without direct referral links, marketers must use specialized tools to track when and how their brand is cited. Trakkr enables this by monitoring specific buyer-intent prompts, analyzing citation rates, and benchmarking brand positioning against competitors. This approach allows teams to connect AI visibility to actual marketing outcomes, ensuring that product capabilities are accurately represented in AI-generated answers and that the brand maintains a competitive share of voice in the evolving AI search landscape.",
