Fixes, biggest first
Publish a sitemap.xml
A list of every page you want found. Without one, crawlers only find what's linked.
Add real copy to the page
Readable text is a tiny share of the page's code, or there's very little of it. Crawlers summarise words, not markup.
Keep sitemap dates fresh
No lastmod date in the last 90 days, so crawlers can't tell what changed and may not come back.
Offer a machine-readable interface
A valid /openapi.json or /llms-full.txt lets AI agents use your product or read your docs in full, not just your homepage.
Add an llms.txt file
A short Markdown summary of your site at /llms.txt. Cheap to add, but few AI systems request it yet, so it's worth 3 points.
Add a meta description
A one-sentence summary that crawlers and link previews reuse.
Mirror llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt
Some tools look in the .well-known folder instead. A copy of the same file covers both.
