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.

  5. 5

    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

    All 10 sites Gemini cites beside it pass this one.

    Steps for your host: Cloudflare, WordPress, Namecheap and more
  6. 6

    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

  7. 7

    Settle on one address

    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

    9 of the 10 sites Gemini cites beside it pass this one.

  8. 8

    Fix description lengths

    +1 point, to 100, and full marks

    Write a meta description of 70 to 165 characters that summarizes the page.
