  "question": "What AI traffic should SEO teams track within DeepSeek?",
  "description": "SEO teams must monitor AI traffic in DeepSeek by tracking citation rates, prompt-based visibility, and competitor positioning to maintain control over brand narratives.",
  "summary": "SEO teams should shift focus toward AI-specific visibility metrics within DeepSeek. By tracking citations, prompt performance, and competitor positioning, teams can ensure their brand remains relevant in AI-generated answers and maintain a competitive edge in the evolving search landscape.",
  "answer": "To effectively track AI traffic within DeepSeek, SEO teams must prioritize metrics that reflect how the platform synthesizes and cites brand content. Unlike traditional search, which relies on organic click-through rates, AI platforms like DeepSeek prioritize relevance and authority through direct citations. Teams should monitor the frequency of brand mentions, the accuracy of the narrative provided by the model, and the specific URLs cited in response to industry-relevant prompts. Using Trakkr, teams can automate the collection of this data to identify which content assets are successfully influencing AI answers and which technical barriers might be preventing proper indexing by AI crawlers.",
