If you want your Website content to be part of AI-generated answers β not just search results β
you need to start optimizing for AI crawling today.
πΉ 1. Add an llms.txt file
β
It tells GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc. which content to ingest and when it was last updated.
πΉ 2. Make Content Crawlable Without JavaScript
Bots donβt run client-side JS well. Prefer:
Static HTML
SSR (Server-Side Rendering)
Semantic tags like <article>, <h1>, <section>
πΉ 3. Add JSON-LD Schema Markup
Help LLMs understand what your content means.
πΉ 4. Whitelist AI Bots in robots.txt
πΉ 5. Submit or Surface to Indexing Platforms
Some LLMs (like Perplexity) accept manual submissions or source from Common Crawl.
