note Something's not working the way you expected. Maybe a score looks wrong, maybe a research check never finishes, maybe Slack went quiet. Annoying, and almost always a known thing with a known fix.
This page lists the issues we see most often and how to resolve them. Skim the section that matches your symptom; nine times out of ten the fix is one click or one setting. If your answer isn't here, the bottom of the page has the fastest way to reach us with the right context.
Research issues
Research is taking too long
Normal time: 2-5 minutes for most research checks.
If it's been longer:
Check the research status page - is there a known issue? Refresh the page and check if it completed Large prompt sets (100+) may take up to 10 minutes Still stuck? Cancel and retry. If it happens consistently, contact support.
Research shows errors
Partial errors are normal. AI models occasionally fail to respond - this happens industry-wide. Trakkr retries automatically, but occasional gaps are expected (typically less than 5% of prompts).
If most or all prompts show errors:
Check your internet connection Go to Settings → Billing and verify your account is active Wait 15 minutes and try again (AI model outages do happen) Persistent errors: Email hey@trakkr.ai with your research URL (visible in your browser's address bar).
Visibility scores seem wrong
First, understand what visibility measures: the percentage of your tracked prompts where your brand appears in AI responses.
Common reasons scores seem off:
Symptom Likely cause Score dropped suddenly AI models updated their training data, or competitors improved their content Score seems too low Prompts may be too broad or not relevant to your brand's expertise Score is 0% Brand name or aliases don't match how AI refers to you
Actions to take:
Click into specific prompts to see exactly what AI said Go to Settings → Brands and verify your brand name and aliases are correct Check your Perception tab to see how AI describes you vs. competitors No results appearing
If you're seeing empty states or "no data":
Did research finish? Check your dashboard. Research needs to complete firstNew brand? Start your first research check from the dashboardFilter issue? Clear any active date or tag filtersCache issue? Hard refresh (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R)Visibility suddenly dropped to 0 (or dipped across all brands)
Almost always one of two causes:
A model provider had an outage during research. When OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or another provider's API fails during a check, prompts that couldn't get a response are scored as 0 for that model. The next successful research check restores real scores.A platform-wide tracking issue on our side. Rare, but it happens, and we usually catch and fix it within hours.To figure out which one it is:
Check trakkr.ai/status . We log incidents publicly within minutes of detection. If status shows a degraded provider, that's almost certainly your dip.Click into a single prompt. Look at the per-model breakdown. If the affected model shows "no response" or an error rather than an actual answer, the dip is a model outage, not a real drop in your visibility.Compare across brands. If every client/brand in your account dipped on the same day, that's a tracking-side issue, not a real visibility change.One-day dips often self-correct. If you saw 0% yesterday and 60% today, you probably caught a transient model outage. Watch the next two days of data before assuming something is broken.
Still not making sense? If status is green, the dip persists for more than 24 hours, and it spans multiple brands or models, email hey@trakkr.ai with your account email and the dates affected. We can inspect the underlying research checks and tell you exactly what happened.
My Reports tab is empty
Reports are generated after each research check for your brand. If /reports is empty:
Has research finished for this brand yet? Go to your Dashboard. If you see "No research yet," start research to generate your first report.Wrong brand selected? Reports are per-brand. Check the brand switcher in the top nav.Cache issue? Hard refresh (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R).Just-finished research? Wait 1-2 minutes; the report can briefly lag research completion, then refresh.If the Reports page itself isn't in your sidebar, it may be gated by your plan. Full historical reports are available on Growth and above; without an active plan you see only the most recent check.
Pages, Results, and Optimize
A stage on my page says "Not measured"
What it means: Trakkr does not yet have the source or check needed for that stage. It does not mean the page failed.
Is it a problem? It is a coverage gap. You can still use the evidence from the other stages, but Trakkr cannot judge this one yet.
What to do:
Stage Next step Available Measure the page Reached Connect crawler tracking Understood Measure the page to create a machine view Relevant Measure the page, or connect Search Console. Relevant is always Estimated Selected Wait for citation history to become available Visited Connect Search Console or crawler tracking
A result says "Couldn't measure"
What it means: The Measurement window closed, but Trakkr did not have enough page-level evidence to judge the work. This can happen when the Action has no target Page, no before reading exists, no connected source can see the page, or the page had no activity before or after.
Is it a problem? It is not a failed result or a system error. It is an honest unknown, and it is excluded from Earn rate.
What to do: Open the result and read the reason beneath it. Link the Action to the right Page, connect the named source, or retry after the Page has measurable activity. Your earlier data stays unchanged.
A page I published is not in Pages
What it means: Trakkr has not discovered the URL through a sitemap, crawler visit, citation, or site check yet. New pages can take time to appear in those sources.
Is it a problem? Usually not. It only means the registry has not seen the URL.
What to do: Open Pages , choose Add pages , paste the full URL, and measure it. If Trakkr cannot add it, confirm that the URL belongs to the active brand, loads without sign-in, and is not an asset such as an image or PDF.
The Issues tab in Optimize is gone
What it means: Optimize was rebuilt around Findings . The site verdict, fix queue, and full check list now share one view.
Is it a problem? No. The checks were not removed.
What to do: Open Optimize → Findings . Start with the verdict and fix queue, then use the full check list below when you need every technical detail. The old Citation Readiness score now appears there as Checks score .
My action moved to Results and I do not know what that means
What it means: The work is done, so Trakkr has started its fixed Measurement window. The result stays Measuring until that window closes, then becomes Earned , No movement , Couldn't measure , Reverted , or Coincided with a drop .
Is it a problem? No. Moving to Results is the normal handoff from doing the work to judging what happened next.
What to do: Open the row to see the target metric, before reading, window length, and time left. There is nothing to speed up; waiting for the full window keeps the comparison fair.
Login issues
Can't log in
Check these first:
Are you using the right email address? (Try the one you signed up with) Is CAPS LOCK on? Passwords are case-sensitive Did you sign up with Google? Use the "Continue with Google" button instead Reset password:
Click "Forgot password?" on the login page Check your email (including spam folder) The reset link expires in 24 hours Magic link not arriving
Magic link emails typically arrive within 1-2 minutes.
If you don't see it:
Check your spam/junk folder Search your inbox for "trakkr" or "noreply@trakkr.ai" Add noreply@trakkr.ai to your contacts Wait 2 minutes, then request a new link Still not arriving? Use password login instead, or email hey@trakkr.ai with your account email.
Session expired frequently
Sessions last 7 days by default. If you're being logged out more often:
Check if someone else has access (Settings → Security → Sessions) Disable browser extensions that might interfere Try a different browser Clear cookies for trakkr.ai Display issues
Page won't load
Quick fixes:
Refresh the page (Cmd/Ctrl + R) Clear browser cache Try incognito/private mode Try a different browser Still broken? Check trakkr.ai/status for outages.
Charts not showing
Charts require JavaScript. Make sure:
JavaScript is enabled Ad blockers aren't blocking Trakkr Browser is up to date (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) Data looks outdated
Trakkr shows the most recent research results. If data seems old:
Check when research last finished (top right of dashboard) Start a new research check to refresh Clear browser cache if issues persist Billing issues
Payment failed
Common reasons:
Expired card Insufficient funds Bank blocked the transaction To fix:
Go to Settings → Billing Update your payment method Retry the payment Plan not updated after payment
Changes usually take effect immediately. If not:
Log out and back in Check email for payment confirmation Wait 15 minutes (rare processing delays) Still showing old plan? Contact support with your payment confirmation.
Need an invoice
All invoices are available in Settings → Billing → Invoices.
Download any past invoice as PDF. Need custom invoicing? Contact sales for enterprise arrangements.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription . This opens the Stripe billing portal (the same place you'd update your card). Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. After that, your subscription ends and paid features are paused. We retain your data so you can resubscribe and pick up where you left off.
If you want to cancel but can't access the billing portal (team member without billing permission, account-managed-by-contract, or similar), email hey@trakkr.ai with your account email and we'll handle it.
I was charged unexpectedly: can I get a refund?
We offer a 14-day, no-questions-asked refund window on new subscriptions and major upgrades. Email hey@trakkr.ai with your account email and the charge you'd like refunded - we'll process it within a business day.
After 14 days, we still review refunds case-by-case. For annual plans, if you close your account mid-cycle we refund the unused portion.
Common reasons a charge looks unexpected:
Trial converted automatically. The Growth trial is 14 days and auto-converts to a paid month unless you cancel. You'll get reminder emails first.Add-on charges. Extra brands or prompt packs are billed on top of your base plan and show up as separate line items.Plan-change proration. Upgrades charge the prorated difference immediately, so a mid-month upgrade looks like a "small extra charge."Annual renewal. Annual plans renew once a year - the charge can feel surprising if you forgot when you signed up. Check Settings → Billing → Invoices for renewal dates.What happens during and after my free trial?
The Growth trial gives you 14 days of full Growth features. Here's exactly what happens:
Day What changes 1-14 Full Growth access (8 models, citations, perception, AI Pages site analysis, reports, exports). Automation limit is 1 during trial. 14 (if you don't cancel) Your card is charged for the first month, trial converts to Growth 14 (if you cancel) Access continues through day 14, then stops
To cancel without being charged, go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription any time before day 14. The same flow works whether you want to walk away or simply postpone upgrading.
You'll get reminder emails before your trial ends so nothing happens by surprise.
Integration issues
Slack notifications not working
Re-authorize the connection (Settings → Integrations → Slack → Reconnect) Check the Trakkr app is still in your Slack workspace Verify the channel hasn't been deleted or renamed Make sure Trakkr app has permission to post Webhook not receiving data
Verify the URL is correct and accessible Check the endpoint returns 200 OK Ensure your server isn't blocking Trakkr's IPs Check webhook logs in Settings → Integrations API key not working
Confirm the key is active (Settings → Developer ) Check you're using the correct header format: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY Verify you're on the Scale plan (API access requires Scale) Generate a new key if all else fails Trakkr is slow
Try these:
Check your internet connection Clear browser cache Close other tabs (memory issues) Try a different browser If it's just one page: Let us know - there might be an issue we can fix.
Exports timing out
Large exports (thousands of records) may take time.
Solutions:
Use date filters to export smaller chunks Export during off-peak hours Try CSV instead of full JSON Getting help
