  "question": "How do I audit whether Claude can crawl my WordPress site?",
  "description": "Learn how to audit whether Claude can crawl your WordPress site by checking robots.txt, server logs, and using Trakkr for ongoing AI visibility monitoring.",
  "summary": "Verifying Claude's access to your WordPress site requires checking robots.txt directives and server logs. Trakkr provides the necessary technical diagnostics to ensure Anthropic's crawlers can successfully index your content for AI-driven search and answer generation.",
  "answer": "To audit Claude's access, first inspect your WordPress robots.txt file for specific user-agent blocks that might prevent Anthropic from indexing your pages. You should also examine your server access logs to identify requests originating from known Anthropic IP ranges. Because manual checks only provide a static snapshot, use Trakkr to monitor crawler behavior continuously. Trakkr helps you identify if technical formatting issues or restrictive site configurations are preventing Claude from citing your content, ensuring your brand remains visible within the platform's answer engine results over time.",
