  "question": "How do I set up Shopify so Meta AI can cite my brand?",
  "description": "Optimize your Shopify store for Meta AI citation by focusing on crawlability and structured data. Learn how to ensure your brand content is discoverable by AI.",
  "summary": "Meta AI citation relies on technical accessibility and structured data rather than specific platform settings. Trakkr provides the diagnostic tools necessary to monitor your brand's presence, track citation rates, and refine your content strategy for better visibility across major AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "There is no proprietary 'Meta AI' setting within Shopify to enable citations. Instead, you must ensure your store is technically optimized for AI crawlers to discover and interpret your brand information. This involves implementing clean structured data, maintaining an open robots.txt file, and providing high-quality, descriptive content that directly answers user queries. Because AI models prioritize relevance and technical clarity, your focus should be on making your site machine-readable. Use Trakkr to monitor whether Meta AI is actually citing your brand, as manual spot checks are insufficient for tracking performance across evolving AI platforms and complex search environments.",
