5 more, to tidy up after 100
  1. 5

    Put the text in the HTML

    Under a point

    Put the page text in the HTML the server sends. Most AI crawlers do not run scripts.

    The home page

  2. 6

    Match structured data to the page

    Under a point

    Use the schema type that matches the page: Article for guides, Service or Product for offers, Organization or WebSite for the home page.

    The home page

  3. 7

    Add depth to thin pages

    Under a point

    Add true, specific detail until the page covers its subject.

    The home page

  4. 8

    Add an llms.txt

    Under a point

    Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.

    Once, for the whole site

  5. 9

    Link to your profiles

    Under a point

    Link from the home page, in its header or footer, to each profile you keep: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, LinkedIn.

    Once, for the whole site
