  "description": "Learn how to verify if DeepSeek is crawling your WordPress site. Follow these technical steps to check access and monitor your brand's AI visibility effectively.",
  "summary": "Verifying DeepSeek access requires checking your robots.txt file and server logs for crawler activity. Trakkr helps you move beyond manual checks by monitoring how your brand is actually cited and mentioned within DeepSeek's generated answers over time.",
  "answer": "To determine if DeepSeek can read your WordPress site, you must first inspect your robots.txt file to ensure no directives block AI user agents from accessing your content. You should also examine your server access logs for specific crawler signatures that indicate successful requests from DeepSeek's infrastructure. While these technical checks confirm accessibility, they do not guarantee that your content is being utilized in AI responses. Using Trakkr allows you to monitor your brand's presence, citation rates, and narrative positioning across DeepSeek and other major platforms, providing actionable intelligence on how your site content influences AI-generated answers.",
