  "question": "Why did Claude stop citing my brand?",
  "description": "Discover why Claude stopped citing your brand and learn how to use Trakkr to diagnose technical issues, monitor citation patterns, and restore your AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Claude citation loss often stems from dynamic model updates or technical accessibility issues. Trakkr provides the diagnostic tools necessary to audit your site, monitor competitor activity, and implement corrective actions to regain your brand's presence in AI-generated answers.",
  "answer": "Claude citation loss typically occurs when Anthropic updates its internal knowledge weighting or when your site's technical accessibility changes. To resolve this, you must audit how Claude's crawlers interact with your domain and compare your current citation rates against historical benchmarks. Trakkr enables you to track these shifts in real-time, identifying whether your brand has been replaced by competitors or if specific content formatting is preventing proper attribution. By analyzing these patterns, you can adjust your technical infrastructure and content strategy to align with Claude's evolving processing requirements, ensuring your brand remains a primary source for relevant user queries.",
