  "description": "Learn how to audit Meta AI crawler access on your Shopify store. Use technical diagnostics to verify if AI agents can index your product content effectively.",
  "summary": "Auditing Meta AI access on Shopify requires monitoring your robots.txt file and using technical diagnostics. Trakkr provides the necessary tools to ensure your store content remains visible and citeable by AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "To audit whether Meta AI can crawl your Shopify site, you must first verify your robots.txt file configuration, which Shopify manages automatically for store owners. Because Shopify limits manual overrides, you should use Trakkr’s crawler diagnostics to monitor if Meta AI successfully accesses your key product pages. By tracking these interactions, you can identify if specific content blocks or technical restrictions are preventing AI systems from citing your store in their responses. This diagnostic approach allows you to confirm that your brand remains visible to AI platforms, ensuring that your product information is available for retrieval and potential citation during user queries.",
