9. Recommended Fixes
⚠️ Add /llms.txt A short Markdown-flavored summary at the root. Include your H1, value prop, top 5–10 links, and pricing summary.
⚠️ Add a /pricing page Even contact-us pricing benefits from a /pricing page that LLMs can link to in answers.
⚠️ Add Organization JSON-LD Include name, url, logo, sameAs (your social profiles). LLMs use this to resolve your brand entity.
⚠️ Speed up homepage rendering AI crawlers commonly time out around 3s. Cache the HTML, ship less JS for the first paint, and pre-render the hero section server-side.
⚠️ Add a meta description 50–160 chars. Repeat your core value prop in plain language; this often becomes the AI snippet.
<meta name="description" content="CrawlProof shows you exactly how AI crawlers see your site, then tells you what to fix." />⚠️ Add Twitter Card meta tags Used by social platforms and AI agents for richer previews.
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" /> <meta name="twitter:title" content="Your Page Title" /> <meta name="twitter:description" content="50–160 char description." /> <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />⚠️ Add alt text to all meaningful images Decorative-only images can use empty alt='', but logos, screenshots, and product images need descriptive alt.
⚠️ Allow GPTBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: GPTBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.
⚠️ Allow ClaudeBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: ClaudeBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.

Contact: mailto:security@yourdomain.com Expires: 2027-01-01T00:00:00.000Z Preferred-Languages: en⚠️ State your audience explicitly Use phrases like 'Built for B2B SaaS marketing teams' on the homepage and About page.
