  "question": "How do I diagnose why Perplexity is not using pages on WordPress?",
  "description": "Learn how to diagnose why Perplexity is not using your WordPress pages. Follow our technical guide to audit your site for AI crawler visibility and citation issues.",
  "summary": "If Perplexity is not using your WordPress pages, you must audit your technical configuration, robots.txt settings, and structured data. Trakkr helps you monitor these citation gaps effectively.",
  "answer": "To diagnose why Perplexity is not using your WordPress pages, first verify that your robots.txt file does not block the Perplexity crawler. Ensure your content is accessible without restrictive login walls or complex JavaScript rendering that prevents discovery. You should also audit your page-level structured data to ensure it is machine-readable for AI engines. Once these technical foundations are confirmed, use Trakkr to monitor whether your pages are being cited in AI answers over time. This process allows you to identify specific citation gaps and adjust your content strategy based on real-world AI platform behavior.",
