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.
⚠️ Make your About/Team page reachable Add a top-nav or footer link to /about or /team so LLMs can identify the entity behind the site.
⚠️ 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 more substantive homepage content AI models need 300+ words of visible body text to summarize and recommend a site. Add a value-prop paragraph, a short FAQ, and a 'how it works' section.
⚠️ Allow ClaudeBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: ClaudeBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.
⚠️ Allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: OAI-SearchBot Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.
⚠️ Allow Applebot-Extended in robots.txt Add an explicit User-agent: Applebot-Extended Allow: / block so this AI crawler can read your site.
⚠️ Add /skill.md Describe what an agent can do with your site (e.g., 'Search docs', 'Look up pricing'). Useful for agentic flows.
⚠️ Publish /.well-known/security.txt A security contact builds trust with crawlers and researchers. Minimal example:
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.
