  "description": "Learn how to manage canonical tags for Gemini on Shopify to ensure AI crawlers correctly index your preferred product pages and improve your brand visibility.",
  "summary": "Managing canonical tags on Shopify is essential for guiding Google Gemini toward your primary content. By leveraging platform-specific settings and monitoring tools, you can prevent duplicate content issues and ensure your store is accurately represented in AI-generated search results.",
  "answer": "To handle canonical tags for Gemini on Shopify, rely on the platform's native URL structure while auditing your theme code for potential overrides. Shopify automatically generates canonical tags for products and collections, which serves as the primary signal for AI crawlers. You should verify that these tags point to your intended high-value URLs to prevent indexing fragmentation. Use Trakkr to monitor whether Gemini respects these signals by tracking your brand's citation patterns and source URLs. If you notice inconsistent indexing, review your liquid templates to ensure no conflicting canonical logic is being injected by third-party apps or custom modifications.",
