  "question": "How do I diagnose why DeepSeek is not using pages on WordPress?",
  "description": "Learn how to diagnose why DeepSeek is failing to crawl or index your WordPress pages. Follow this technical guide to improve your site's AI visibility today.",
  "summary": "Diagnosing DeepSeek indexing issues requires a technical audit of your WordPress configuration. By verifying robots.txt, implementing llms.txt, and using Trakkr for ongoing crawler monitoring, you can identify and resolve the specific barriers preventing your content from being discovered or cited by AI platforms.",
  "answer": "To diagnose why DeepSeek is not using your WordPress pages, start by auditing your robots.txt file to ensure no directives are blocking AI crawlers. Check your page templates for rendering issues that might prevent text extraction, and implement an llms.txt file to explicitly define content available for AI consumption. Once these technical foundations are verified, use Trakkr to monitor how DeepSeek interacts with your site over time. This approach isolates whether the issue stems from site-wide accessibility barriers or specific content formatting problems that limit your visibility in AI-generated answers and citations.",
