  "question": "How do I audit whether Meta AI can crawl my WordPress site?",
  "description": "Learn how to audit your WordPress site for Meta AI crawler access. We cover server logs, robots.txt configurations, and automated monitoring solutions for AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Auditing Meta AI crawler access on WordPress requires checking server logs for specific User-Agent strings and verifying robots.txt directives. Trakkr provides continuous monitoring to ensure your content remains visible to AI platforms, moving beyond manual spot checks to maintain consistent brand presence.",
  "answer": "To audit Meta AI access, you must first inspect your server access logs to identify requests from Meta-specific User-Agent strings. Simultaneously, review your robots.txt file to ensure no directives explicitly block AI crawlers from your WordPress site. You should also verify that your page-level meta tags do not contain 'noindex' or 'noarchive' instructions that prevent indexing. While manual audits provide a snapshot of current accessibility, they are often insufficient for long-term visibility. Trakkr automates this process by monitoring crawler behavior and technical barriers, ensuring your site remains discoverable by major AI platforms like Meta AI over time.",
