  "question": "What is the best monitoring setup for fixing post-migration citation drops?",
  "description": "Learn how to diagnose and fix post-migration citation drops using AI platform monitoring, citation intelligence, and repeatable crawler behavior tracking workflows.",
  "summary": "Fixing post-migration citation drops requires a shift from traditional SEO to AI-specific monitoring. By tracking crawler access and citation intelligence, you can identify why AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity stopped referencing your new site architecture.",
  "answer": "The most effective monitoring setup for post-migration citation drops involves integrating citation intelligence with ongoing AI crawler behavior analysis. You must establish a baseline of your brand's visibility across platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity to detect immediate shifts. By grouping high-value prompts and monitoring them consistently, you can determine if the drop stems from technical crawler blocks or content relevance issues. This repeatable monitoring framework allows you to isolate whether AI systems are still referencing old, deprecated URLs or if they have failed to parse the new site structure entirely, enabling precise technical and content-based recovery actions.",
