  "question": "How do I check whether Claude can read my Shopify site?",
  "description": "Learn how to verify if Claude can read your Shopify site. Use Trakkr to monitor AI crawler activity, citation rates, and your brand's visibility in AI answers.",
  "summary": "Verifying Claude's access to your Shopify store requires monitoring how the AI platform cites your content. Trakkr provides the tools to track these interactions, ensuring your product pages and blog content remain visible within AI-generated responses and search results.",
  "answer": "To check if Claude can read your Shopify site, you must move beyond traditional SEO metrics and monitor how the model cites your specific URLs. Claude does not index sites like a standard search engine, so visibility depends on its ability to parse your Shopify-generated HTML. By using Trakkr, you can track whether your brand appears in AI-generated answers and identify if technical barriers are preventing the model from accessing your store. This process involves monitoring citation rates and comparing your presence against competitors to ensure your content is being processed correctly by Anthropic's systems.",
