    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

    Link to orphaned pages

    +1 point, to 100, and full marks

    Link to each of these from a related page. A page only the sitemap knows about is treated as unimportant.

    Once, for the whole site

5 more, to tidy up after 100
  1. 9

    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

  2. 10

    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

  3. 11

    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

  4. 12

    Use one main heading

    Under a point

    Give the page exactly one h1 that says what it is about.
