  "question": "Why is Meta-ExternalAgent not accessing our Wix content for indexing?",
  "description": "Troubleshoot why AI crawlers are failing to index your Wix website by verifying robots.txt settings, server-side firewall rules, and crawler access logs.",
  "summary": "AI crawlers may fail to access your Wix site due to restrictive robots.txt directives or server-side security blocks. Use this guide to audit your configuration and verify that AI crawlers have the necessary permissions to index your content for AI visibility.",
  "answer": "If an AI crawler is not accessing your Wix content, you must first verify that your robots.txt file does not explicitly disallow the user-agent. Wix manages these settings within the SEO dashboard, where global 'noindex' tags or specific crawler restrictions can prevent AI indexing. Beyond configuration, check if your server-side firewall or WAF is flagging the bot's traffic as malicious. Once you have confirmed that your site settings allow access, use Trakkr to monitor crawler behavior and validate that AI systems are successfully reaching your pages. This proactive approach ensures your content remains visible across AI platforms.",
