  "description": "Learn how to verify if Anthropic Claude is crawling your WordPress site and monitor your brand's AI visibility using Trakkr's technical diagnostic tools.",
  "summary": "Verify Claude's access to your WordPress site by auditing your robots.txt file and server logs. Use Trakkr to monitor how AI platforms cite your content and maintain your brand's visibility in AI-generated answers.",
  "answer": "To check if Claude can read your WordPress site, start by reviewing your robots.txt file to ensure the Anthropic user agent is not blocked from your content. You should also inspect your server access logs for requests originating from Anthropic's specific crawler IP ranges to confirm successful visits. Once technical access is verified, use Trakkr to monitor whether your pages are being cited in AI answers. This approach moves beyond simple crawling checks to ensure your content is actually influencing the narratives produced by Claude and other major AI platforms.",
