    Make near-copy pages distinct

    Publish a sitemap

    Under a point

    Under a point

    Redirect http, https, www, and the bare domain to one address, so the site is not indexed as several.

    Once, for the whole site

  17. 17

    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

  18. 18

    Add real images to content

    Under a point

    Add a photo, drawing, or chart as an img with alt text. A CSS background image has no alt text and is not read as part of the page.
