Fixes, biggest first
Put your words in the HTML
A crawler that runs no JavaScript found under 400 characters of text. Whatever your page says after scripts run, it doesn't say to them.
Stop serving an empty app shell
The page is a JavaScript shell: scripts plus almost no text. To most AI crawlers it looks blank.
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.
Give the page an h1 heading
One clear main heading tells a crawler what the page is about.
Use semantic HTML tags
Tags like main, nav, article and footer show which part is content and which is chrome.
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.
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.
