AI Content Discovery

Add an llms.txt file at your site root to help AI models understand what your site is about and which pages matter most.

Decide which AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) can access your site. Don't accidentally block them.

Add schema markup to your pages so AI search engines can understand your content type, author, and key information.

FAQPage schema makes your content 3.2x more likely to be cited in Google AI Overviews.

Title tags help AI models understand what each page is about. Keep titles under 60 characters.

Meta descriptions provide context that AI models use to summarize your content in answers.

Clear heading structure helps AI models parse your content and identify key sections.

Use <article>, <main>, <section>, <nav> instead of generic <div> for better AI comprehension.

OG tags help AI models extract titles, descriptions, and images when citing your content.

HTTPS is a basic requirement. AI crawlers may skip non-secure sites.

A sitemap helps all search engines, including AI crawlers, discover your pages efficiently.

AI crawlers have timeout limits. If your site is slow, they may skip your content.

Content with citations and data sources is more likely to be cited by AI models as a reference.

AI models naturally look for question-answer patterns. Format important info as questions and answers.

AI models prefer recent, up-to-date content. Update key pages regularly.
