  "question": "How do I handle canonical tags for ChatGPT on Squarespace?",
  "description": "Learn how to manage Squarespace canonical tags to ensure ChatGPT correctly cites your custom domain instead of duplicate built-in URLs.",
  "summary": "Managing canonical tags on Squarespace ensures that ChatGPT identifies the correct primary URL for citations. By using Trakkr to monitor these signals, brands can prevent AI models from referencing duplicate or internal Squarespace domains in their generated answers.",
  "answer": "Squarespace automatically generates self-referencing canonical tags, but technical users must ensure these point to the custom domain to avoid ChatGPT citing the internal .squarespace.com URL. To optimize for ChatGPT, verify that your primary domain is set correctly in Squarespace settings and use Code Injection for any manual overrides. AI models respect these canonical directives when crawling content for training and real-time citations. Trakkr provides the necessary diagnostic tools to audit whether ChatGPT is following these tags or if duplicate content is diluting your brand's visibility across AI platforms.",
