  "question": "How do I diagnose why Perplexity is not using pages on Shopify?",
  "description": "Diagnose why Perplexity is not using your Shopify pages by auditing crawler access, structured data, and AI visibility patterns using Trakkr technical tools.",
  "summary": "To resolve issues where Perplexity ignores your Shopify content, you must verify crawler accessibility, optimize structured data, and monitor citation gaps. Trakkr provides the technical diagnostics needed to identify if your pages are reachable and how they appear in AI-generated answers.",
  "answer": "If Perplexity is not using your Shopify pages, start by auditing your robots.txt file to ensure AI crawlers are not blocked from accessing your store. Use Trakkr to monitor crawler activity and confirm if the platform is successfully reaching your domain. Once access is verified, evaluate your page-level structured data and content uniqueness to ensure the information is easily extractable by AI models. Regularly compare your citation rates against competitors to identify if your content is being filtered out by relevance algorithms or if technical formatting barriers exist.",
