Worked out from this read, with every step before it done. A score says pages are well formed. It does not say an assistant cites the site.
The steps
Each is one change across the pages named. When one is live, read the site again and mttr marks it done.
- 1
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 - 2
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
- 3
Settle on one address
+1 point, to 99, and #180, 1,766 places up, and into the top 0.1%
Redirect http, https, www, and the bare domain to one address, so the site is not indexed as several.
Once, for the whole site
- 4
Link to orphaned pages
Under a point
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
Add lists or tables
Under a point
Add a table, a list, or a definition list. Assistants quote these more readily than prose.

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.
