  "question": "How do I diagnose why ChatGPT is not using our content?",
  "description": "Learn how to diagnose why ChatGPT is not using your content by auditing crawler access, content relevance, and AI-specific citation intelligence strategies.",
  "summary": "Diagnosing ChatGPT visibility requires distinguishing between technical crawler access and content relevance. Use Trakkr to monitor specific prompts, analyze competitor citations, and refine your site structure to ensure your brand content is prioritized in AI-generated answers.",
  "answer": "To diagnose why ChatGPT is not using your content, you must first determine if the issue is a technical failure in crawling or a lack of content relevance. Use Trakkr to monitor specific buyer-style prompts where your brand should appear to identify if the platform is ignoring your site entirely or favoring competitors. Once you confirm the visibility gap, audit your technical formatting and machine-readable files to ensure AI systems can effectively parse your pages. Shift your focus from traditional SEO keywords toward answer-engine optimization by aligning your content narratives with the specific intent and language found in user prompts.",
