  "answer": "Verifying WordPress sitemap accessibility for ChatGPT requires a two-part approach focusing on technical discovery and output monitoring.

Use WordPress SEO plugins to generate clean, standard-compliant sitemaps that clearly define your content hierarchy. Once technical access is confirmed, use Trakkr to monitor whether your specific pages appear as citations in ChatGPT answers. This workflow moves beyond simple crawling to ensure your brand content is actively surfaced and utilized by the model when users ask relevant questions.",
