    Let AI crawlers in

    Under a point

    Remove the robots.txt rules that shut out AI crawlers. On Cloudflare, also turn off "Block AI bots", which writes these rules for you.

    Once, for the whole site

    Steps for your host: Cloudflare, WordPress, Namecheap and more
  8. 8

    Make near-copy pages distinct

    Under a point

    Rewrite or merge pages that share most of their text. A page that only swaps a city or product name is what search engines treat as doorway or scaled content.

    Once, for the whole site

  9. 9

    Publish a sitemap

    Under a point

    Publish /sitemap.xml listing every page that should rank, and name it in robots.txt.

    Once, for the whole site

  10. 10

    List your profiles in your structured data

    Under a point

    Add sameAs to the Organization, Person or LocalBusiness on your home page, listing the address of each profile: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, LinkedIn. It is how assistants tie your site to you elsewhere.

    Once, for the whole site

  11. 11

    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

  12. 12

    Show sources on guides

    Under a point

    Link the sources for the guide's facts where a reader can see them. Official and primary sources carry the most weight.
