  8. 8

    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

  9. 9

    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

  10. 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

  11. 11

    Set each page's canonical address

    +1 point, to 100, and full marks

    Add a canonical link that points to the page itself.

  • /sponsor markdown never turned into formatting

A sign is not proof. Hidden characters can carry a watermark or instructions meant for an AI, and they come off with a clean copy of the text.
